Velboa is a low pile, faux fur fabric that is especially versatile for crafters. It’s tough-wearing and is available in many solid colors as well as patterns. Blankets, pet products, baby clothes, costumes and stuffed animal toys are just some of the many possible uses for velboa in crafting.

Velboa is sometimes called "velboa skin" when used for making stuffed animal toys. Not only is it suitable for a realistic animal skin look as it is a low nap fake fur, but its strength also makes it an ideal fabric for this purpose. For example, velboa is the perfect choice for covering a child's rocking horse toy as it can both look like a horse's hide and stand up to the use of being climbed on frequently.

Costumes are another great use for velboa. You can use velboa to look like suede such as for a Pocahontas costume or for just about any animal your imagination can bring to life. You can also save scraps of velboa from larger projects to use for small pieces of costumes such as ears or a tail.

Velboa is considered a safe fabric choice for infants. Plus, it's very soft and can be made into many baby items. Baby clothing such as little coats are a popular use for velboa and you can also make infant sleeping bags.

Pets like velboa's softness and owners like its hard-wearing, yet attractive appeal. Many pet beds and pet toys are made from velboa. Velboa items make great gifts for pets and pet owners too.

Velboa blankets are fast and fun to make as gifts for babies, children and adults. They are a very welcome gift as they are soft and strong. You're sure to find a color or pattern suitable for everyone on your list as velboa is available in all kinds of designs. Numerous shades of solids as well as patterns such as floral, animal prints and graphic designs are widely available in velboa. You can also usually find velboa in textures such as ribbed or embossed.
