Paper goods
There are millions of blog images out there that use paper as backdrops. You can use wrapping paper, wall paper or manila to customize eye catching backdrops. You can get paper from a craft store near you. If you don’t like it plain, you can print out patterns on the paper.

Glitter
To use glitter, you first need to have a plan surface. You can then go ahead and mess up the plain surface with sequins to make an amazing product background. Avoid using glitter as background for cloth because much of it may be stuck on the fabric.

Home furniture
If you have wooden furniture or floorboards in the house, you can use them for a brilliant backdrop. Look around the home and you will be amazed at how with small alterations in the arrangement, you can customize awesome eye catching backgrounds for photography.

Conclusion

The key is to make sure you blend the colors well and ensure there is symmetrical balance between the backdrop and the subject of the photograph. Ensure that you do not make the background more eye catching than the subject matter; the custom backdrop is supposed to ensure the subject is brought out strongly and clearly as possible.
