I made mine from extra wide flannel and PVC. I will add some pics to give you the idea of how I made mine. Mine is 6 ft x 6 ft, but you can adjust for whatever size you need. At this size, mine cost $20 to make (flannel from walmart). You can add a stand to the back if needed, or hang it on the wall. I just lean mine against the closet that is full of shelves....very portable too!

I have a Queen size flannel flat sheet that is attached to a strip of wood at the top of one wall (at the ceiling)
and a few tacks along the side to hold it in place. About a 10 minute fix. Works nicely.

I was lucky enough to get a vanishing design wall for Christmas and have just hung it. It is beautiful. We finished it ourselves and then added a little decoration. It works like a dream. Having gotten one I think it would be very possible to make one fairly easily. The hardest part would be the roller hardware and I think that is available in stores that sell blinds. Add a dowel and the fannel and build a little shelf-like valence and you have it. I don't think it would cost much to make from scratch. Best of luck.
