Finishing a Backdrop Edge - Scenic Art

It is possible to buy a backdrop with a finished edge already sewn, but it is also an option to buy the muslin at a slightly wider size so that you have excess and can finish it yourself. There are different ways to finish the sides of a backdrop, but one very easy method uses just glue, scissors, and a stapler.

The glue we used for this was Flexbond from Rosco.

This is very cool! Thanks for posting it! Could you link the muslin you use please? Also, how do you prep the muslin before painting?
