Velvet posters have been popular for decades. They are still available in craft stores, and kids love filling in the empty white spaces using fine-tip markers or colored pencils.

Decorate Plain Gift Bags

Gift bags provide an easy way to tuck away gifts. They eliminate the need for folding and creasing wrapping paper, but they are hardly unique. When looking for creative ways to use velvet posters, buy plain gift bags of the appropriate size, and use them to embellish the bags. Simply tape or glue the posters to the exterior of the bags for something eye-catching and unique. Attach curled ribbon in colors that pick up the hues in the velvet posters. Best of all, the bags can be reused by the recipient, or the velvet posters can be removed and used in other creative ways.

Use them to Wrap Boxes for Decorative Storage
