Wrinkled Backdrop


I bought a backdrop from Sky High (12x20 ecru-color muslin) and can't seem to get it to look right. Attached is a photo to show... I like the wrinkled look on the floor around the little boy, but the background (hanging on the wall) looks like a "bad wrinkle", not a "good wrinkle." I was told to keep these backdrops all wadded up in the bag to keep that wrinkled look, but it just looks awful. I am trying to use a low aperture to blur the background, but it's not working. (I use a Nikon D70 with Nikon 18-70mm and SB 600 flash) This photo is 60ss 3.5ap. Please help me! I have a spendy backdrop that I can't use because it looks BAD! THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE!!
