Default ghetto backdrops?

I was looking for ideas on interesting backgrounds/backdrops for photos I take. What are some of the more interesting *around the house* ghetto type backdrops you have used before? I would love to see photos showing how the backdrop looked.

You can find some interesting backdrops at craft stores like JoAnn's and Michael's. Look for remnants in their upholstery fabric section.

local Fabric stores are GREAT for backdrops! i use my local store all the time and it is so much cheaper than ordering from a bacdrop store. plus you have way more choices on material/size too.
