Have you ever wanted to make your own portable V-Flat at the fraction of the cost? No Painting Needed and uses Foam Board. Here is my step by step tutorial on how I made my 40"x40" White and Black V-Flat. The trick is the tape hinge I use that allows you to fold it up and take it on-location or organize your studio.

4:02-5:23 Final Result
Any purchase help me enjoy another cup of coffee!
Materials Used:
40 x 60 3/16"thick Sheets (3- White sheets) (3- Black sheets) Custom Cut to 40x40 (Keep the remaining material to make your 4th panel)
SOURCE: Local Art Store in order to buy 6 sheets. Online you will need to buy a box, which will make this project too costly overall. This is the website to the art store I sourced from: www.jerrysartarama.com
White Gaffers Tape: amzn.to/3iZtjAu
Black Gaffers Tape : amzn.to/3fubqYd
Water-Based Contact Cement Adhesive (to join the 20" pieces together to form a 40x40 square
Gorilla Glue Grip: amzn.to/2DCq1Tr
Spray Adhesive (to join the white and black 40 x 40 squares together)
Gorilla Glue Heavy Duty Spray: amzn.to/2DCqa9r
Velcro Black: amzn.to/3fuptNH
(Update: Found Clear Velcro: amzn.to/3fAcA4Q)

After watching about every videos on the subject I ended up following this method like a pastry recipe and I am more than very happy with the result. Not only V flats are hard to come by here (Amsterdam) but they’re also super expensive ( eurozone :-( ) so yes it took some planning and it was a bit time consuming but I actually really enjoyed myself mounting them and the result is about perfect. So thank you so so much for this video, your method is by far the best out there, also a big thank to the comment that mentioned the use of coins to counter balance the gaffer that really helped. I also used a predefined square of paper to help cutting the gaffer tape faster and more accurately. I am thinking of perhaps taping the edges to make them sturdier but I am not sure how this will affect the use of the V flats as background, so I’ll wait and see if that’s necessary. Now I have two beautiful Vflats I am really proud of, and with the 300+ € I saved I can buy some extra gears :-) ! Thank you so much again for this amazing video!!!

i’m going to build two of these this weekend, and i suggest placing the weaved tape in between the black and white boards, and reinforcing with strong glue so the hinge tape seam will be hidden and also not peel. i believe this edit or amendment is worth of a note to this video. but as many have said, this is the best tutorial available. thank you.

Immediately subscribed!!! A million thanks! This is absolutely the sturdiest and most versatile design in all of RU-vid! Much better than using a single strip of tape to create hinges. You've saved me $350 (2 sets of V-world V-flats are about $400!). And I'll definitely be buying all the products with your affiliate links, that cup of coffee is much disserved! 😁 Could you explain how you installed the velcro strips though? That area was not visible in the video. Sry, I'm all thumbs when it comes to crafts 😅 Also, compared to portable dark flags that come in reflector kits (for negative fill), how good are the dark panels? In the video, they seemed to be reflecting a bit of light. Thanks!
@NicoleBedardPhotography
@NicoleBedardPhotography 3 года назад
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. As for the Velcro, I purchased sticky back Velcro and added one to the very top to make sure the gap was minimal. I later added one to the bottom of the top section. The black panels are pretty close, but it depends on shooting environments etc. Happy this video helped!

@NicoleBedardPhotography
@NicoleBedardPhotography 3 года назад
@@savvicreationz4367 Sorry for any confusion. If you have two pieces of the tape, reverse one. So one will have a sticky side up and the other will have the sticky side down. The middle, where they attach to each other, will not be sticky on top or bottom. The middle is what will rest on the foam, while the sticky side attach to the face of the boards. I hope this helps!

I’ve watched many diy videos for v-flats and this is the method I will use when I get the materials in. I’m wondering how well they are holding up now that it’s been over a year since the video was made. Does the gaffers tape still stick? Some of the videos show them adding spray adhesive to the gaffers tape, which looks like a pain to do. I’ve found a Canadian supplier that sells 32”x40” 3/16” thick foam. My studio is small so I think I’ll be content with 64” wide and 80” high.
@NicoleBedardPhotography
@NicoleBedardPhotography 2 года назад
Hi, I'm so glad you find the video helpful. The gaffers tape has held up great. I have had to add some spray adhesive to one section of the boards (between the white and black boards) Otherwise it has held up great!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. How do you think it would hold up with Faux brick panel glued to one side ?
@NicoleBedardPhotography
@NicoleBedardPhotography 3 года назад
Depending on the product used. You don't want to add too much weight to one side for fear of it tipping. Maybe look into peel and stick wallpaper that looks like faux brick.

Is there any way to hide these hinges also ? Another question is these Hinges become very loose in very short time ( gaffers tape) Any suggestions ? Thanks
@NicoleBedardPhotography

Hi. The best option is to take a long strip of the tape and cover over all the individual pieces. They haven't come loose for me. Gaffers tape is pretty durable stuff.
@RandomStuffofMine
@RandomStuffofMine 3 года назад
When taping the hinge you held the boards vertically. They seemed to be basically touching each other with the edges flush. Do you need to leave any space at all to ensure they can hinge successfully?

Hi Matthew! Thank you for stopping by. You do not need to leave any space. I go as close as I can without overlapping. If you go to 3:32 of the video you will see my spacing. Hope this helps.

So is it just one piece of velcro at the top you glued? That allows you to open up the top half of the v-flat?

The velcro that I used had a sticky back to it. I added one on the top, but since it was black velcro you could add more if needed, like the bottom too. You simply unvelcro one side and it releases the vflat.

1- great clean work. Nicely done 2- not sure if I’d do this only because adding the time and effort (and the uncertainty of making something new from scratch) will make the cost savings not worth the pain. They seem to be listed for $370 for 2 ($180 each) so $107 plus the time and effort come pretty close to $180 Still if they were like $80 i would def have made it your way

Will the flaps fold either way? You folded the black onto itself each time you folded it, can you fold it the other way too (fold the white onto itself)? It looks like it might but I want to make sure before I use this tape method since one of the nice things about the commercial branded version is the ability to use them in a variety of different configurations (upright, table top, black side up, white side up, etc.)

Yes, It can fold both ways. Thank you for your comment! Enjoy it.

Could you share the link of foam board sheets black and white?
@NicoleBedardPhotography
@NicoleBedardPhotography 3 года назад
I could not find black/white 40x40" sheets online. This is why I glued the white and black together. I could only source the 40x60 sheets at a local art store. This kept costs down. Once you start looking for that size online this only option is bulk and it's super expensive and since you need 4 white and 4 black you don't need 25+.

Can you show how you setup the Velcro at the top?
@NicoleBedardPhotography
@NicoleBedardPhotography 3 года назад
Sure! I just added some images to the blog post associated with this project. I wish I could just add it in this feed, but if you go there (link in description) the image is at the bottom. I would add one to the top, then middle, then bottom to close the gap. Thank you for your question

When I sprayed my panels and put them together, 2 of the 4 panels warped. Do you have any suggestions on how to straighten them out?
@NicoleBedardPhotography
@NicoleBedardPhotography 3 года назад
I would lay them down on a flat surface/floor and weight them down for a day. With the thickness of the two boards together I'm surprised they warped.
@ruthnewton4142

@@NicoleBedardPhotography I actually laid them on a blanket with the warped side facing down. Then I misted the top of them with water, used my hair dryer and applied pressure in the areas of warping. Didn’t completely flatten them but definitely helped. Thanks
