Hi all,

I have a cafetorium and raise my own funds for my program. I am looking for an affordable way to make a cyc to hang on pipe-and-drape pipes I already have.

I see a lot of suggestions for muslin and plastic. Has anyone here ever done this before or have knowledge about what I should look for?

Thanks so much!

Hello, 
I would simply order an unpainted muslin backdrop with grommets and ties to your size specifications. It's versatile and relatively inexpensive. There are several online options. 
Good luck,

Hi Cynthia!

I do think that the suggestions you already received have been great. An unpainted piece of muslin to your specs may really be the cheapest, highest quality solution. I have also grommeted and had success using canvas drop cloths from Home Depot as a cheaper cyc in a pinch. I think the biggest one is 9' x 12' there may even be a 12' x 15' version out there. So in some cases I have used up to 2 to 4 of them to make a makeshift version (sewn or safety pinned together) depending on my prep time and resources. I also have reached out to some curtain and blind manufacturing businesses that I have locally as they just have access to larger bolts of fabric than I have been able to find on my own. From companies like that, occasionally I have received a white or unbleached material donation from that type of company that has covered my whole back drop needed...

So, those are just some thoughts I wanted to share in case helpful.

Cheers,
Colleen
