Description

American Velvet Velvet comes off but has previously gone through a process where the velvet is put through a machine set at 300 degrees in ordrer to do away with chemical odors. This particular piece of velvet is used for jewelry boxes of caskets. In that case a glue is put on back of velvet. It melts when heat is applied and therefore sticks to whatever surface you want it to
