DIY Backdrop Frame (and backdrop)

A quick-to-assemble and (when disassembled) small-in-your-car DIY backdrop frame, shown with a bedsheet (size "queen" sheet) wrapped around it.

 

PVC tubing purchased at, and cut to size by, my local Home Depot (my local Lowes would not cut PVC for me).

 

Parts List

$2.08 each - 3/4" x 10' plain end PVC (x3)

* cut to: 54",54",~

* cut to: 54",42",~

* cut to: 42",36",36",~

$0.36 each - 3/4" Tee (x2)

$0.30 each - 3/4" 90 Degree Elbow (x4)

 

Total cost for the frame (with tax) was $8.65

 

Four 2" binder clips (already had those) are used (two on top, two on the bottom) to help pull the sheet taut. These should be around 35¢ each.

 

Final size is around 6'10" tall and around 4'9" wide. The idea should be able to be adapted to use other sized sheets too ("full" flat sheets should work using more clips, a slightly larger frame for "king" sheets, etc.).
