Thanks for posting that . It makes me think that even someone like myself who doesn't have one artistic bone in his body is capable of a Good looking DIY backround.

Lovely backround , was that you in the video?

Thanks, yes that was me in the video. The beauty of this background is anyone can do it. Also you can add whatever you like into it(driftwood,rocks,leaves,sticks,shell) to make it more appealing.

I like it!! Nice job on the spray foam and sand background. I do like the 'caves' that were formed where you didn't put enough sand down to squash the spray foam. It's a shame the last part of the video was corrupted and didn't show the BG installation.

Is this the first time you have used this particular method?

I don't use heaters since I keep natives.
