with this bad economy, I am finding it hard to justify buying the high end photographic muslims needed to do my clients product displays, so I have been using blankets cotton, wools, fleece and flannel. they add texture, movement, gloss... its simple to set up too I recreated some to show you

first, set up your display for a sample I am using books I set up my lighting and pulled the dark blue cotton blanket over a table I placed the books down and snapped them from above
to create a more dramatic, sweeping look photograph your object on the floor pull a chair over and drape the blanket over the chair and pull it a bit over the floor place your product down and shoot it don't be afraid to mess the blankets up a bit, create little folds for a sculpting effect [i used a flannel blanket to create this look]
the super shadow look photograph from above, pull the blanket as tight as you can, angle one light directly onto the object to create shadow
