Where to Find Wide Seamless Canvas and Muslin for DIY Photography Backdrops Online

by Learn More Photo 1 Comment

Finding seamless muslin to use for photography backdrops or to dye for photography backgrounds is a bit tricky depending on your location in the world.Here is my resource collection of online retailers to help you find places anyone can order seamless muslin or canvas at least 10′ wide.

I’ve dyed canvas before and it sure was a learning experience but in the end I ordered canvas backgrounds from B&H Photo Video instead of making any more.  Many people are far more creatively inclined or have specific needs – this resource is for you.

Leave a comment if I’m missing any killer resources or online muslin or canvas retailers.

DIY Seamless Muslin Resources

Muslin is typically cheaper than canvas – muslin is a lighter fabric and can be crinkled for effect – making it easier to store than canvas which must be rolled.Bolt of Muslin Fabric

Canvas is much heavier than muslin.  Muslin often has a transparent quality about it if you get it too light weight. Canvas typically needs to be stored in rolls to keep from wrinkling.Roll of Canvas

    Nice! I’ve been looking for some places to find wide muslin – the fabric store near my house seems to think they can only order muslin up to 60″ wide.
