Your backdrop must set the mood to capture the essence of your video. If you have a fun theme going on, you can create a colourful backdrop with streamers and balloons. However if you want to set a grim vibe, pick a solid undertone like a plain dark wall. There are plenty of amazing backdrops you can make using materials you see lying around your house. Here are 10 quick and easy DIY backdrop ideas that will save you tons of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fabric<br \/>\n<\/strong>Many popular YouTubers use glitter material, crushed velvet, chiffon, faux fur or bright solid colour cloth as backdrops. Visit local fabric store markets near you or you can always buy fabric online. Try rummaging through your closet to find interesting bed linen, curtains or blankets you may already have. Now all you have to do is to drape the fabric across a curtain rod or garment rack, and you\u2019re good to start filming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Drape Backdrop With Fabric | Setup\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uooK8eJybQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fairy lights<br \/>\n<\/strong>Fairy lights do a fantastic job of livening up the most simple backdrops.

Just standardise 3-4 different backdrops and rotate them through the weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Interested in getting your YouTube channel seen by a huge audience?
