  Step 1

  first you need a great lighting source, I have flash lighting and tungsten lamps, for this one I used my tungsten

• 

  Step 2

  use a plain white or black cotton blaket as a backdrop

  I draped mine from my chest, and pulled it across the foor to create a seemless backdrop

• 

  Step 3

  now to set it up,

  place your product on the middle

  <---------------

  put the lamp off to the side(right or left, depending on where you want the shadow to go)

  ----------------------

  if you don't want a shadow use a over head lamp

Where can I buy inexpensive tungsten lights?

another cheap alternative (for the non-proffesional) is to simply photograph the product in the microwave (assuming it is small enough). the white background and even lighting make for a good setting for a product.

the microwave technique is probably better for websites like ebay or craigslist, not etsy or personal websites
