How do you make a background?

How do you make a background for your tank? The only things I can think of are 1) buying it
2) making it with magazine or computer images.
PS: I would like one for all the animals in my signature, except my dog, obviously.

There was a really cool one on here, have a look at enclosures I think, that was hand made with plaster etc, looked brilliant,

On one of mine, I have fishtank backing, you know, you buy it from aquarium shops, good pics of plants or coral, and you buy it to size, stick on back of tank..(outside a glass tank..)
.........and then hide most of it with silk plants trailing, logs for climbing..etc...

Hopefully Hilde and/or Boeh will chime in. Their work is amazing! I just put gift wrapping paper behind glass enclosures, but I hope to make a 3D background in the fairly near future.

Thanks, but I meant something you stick on the back of your tank (outside of it). Do you know where you can buy those?

Yes any aquariuum shop, they use it for the back of fish tanks.
