Velvet Paper Perfect as a Photo Backdrop:  Weekly Staff Pick

12/15/2020

1 Comment

 
Each week, our art staff picks an art supply to talk about, letting you know what the product does, why you'd want to have it in your supplies and what to think about when you purchase it.  If you're curious to learn more about any art supply or product.  Let us know by sending us an email at this link.  We'll be sure to do a feature on it.

​This week, our art staff pick is:  VELVET PAPER.  Red, black, white, 20"x27", $2.99 each.

What can you do with it, and how does it stand out?


This paper has a fuzzy flocked surface that imitates velvet. When I'm not working at IBF, I run a vintage re-sale micro-business, and I like using this paper as a backdrop when photographing small products for my website or instagram. It doesn't really reflect light, and provides a soft surface for delicate objects to sit on.  (Micro business is Vortex Vintage @vortexvtg).


​Any tips or techniques for using it? Likes/ dislikes?


It does tend to scuff easily- I always buy a couple sheets so I have a back up if I damage one too much. It also attracts lint- especially the black- but it cleans up beautifully using a lint roller or packing tape.

​​ Do we stock it regularly, or is it a special find?

Yes.  $2.99/sheet in red, black and white.

​​Link to buy it on our art supply site:

You can buy it.  Please request it in a curbside order at this link.
