We often get asked, "Hey! Can I use Sharpie markers on my fuzzy velvet posters? I don't want to ruin them." Our answer is yes, yes, and yes. Sharpie markers are our favorite brand of permanent markers to use on our fuzzy posters. We suggest purchasing some of the packs with brighter colors (seen below) so the designs jump off the page and contrast against the deep black velvet. Just remember to always protect the surface you are coloring on. Permanent markers (alcohol-based markers) will always be at risk of bleeding through a poster, no matter its thickness. However, that shouldn't impact how it turns out. We use Sharpie's all the time and they always make the posters look incredible. You should do the same!
