This is called a seamless backdrop, where the wall behind what you are photographing blends in with what you are photographing is siting on. Seamless backdrops are easy to make and I will show you how to make one out of simple materials.

Tools
Sharp Knife
Scissors

Materials
Cardboard box
Flexible card sheet
2-inch Gorilla tape
