Back in the 16th century is when people started using clotheslines and clothespins to dry their laundry.

Once you have your fabric, the clotheslines, and the clothespins, you are ready to go! You might need to cut the fabric to work properly, but that should not be too difficult. Then, just hang the green screen on the clothesline with one or two pins on both sides! See, that wasn’t so bad, right? Making your own green screen really isn’t that difficult and will save you a lot of money on projects where they are needed! If you ever need a video production crew, give Crew Mama a call!
