Some of the best paint! Most will apply smooth in one coat and are super vibrant!

My other favorite paints to use!! Apply super smooth with only one coat!

White chalk paint is great as a base layer before lighter colors to really make them pop!

Great for those tiny details a brush just can’t get!! Plus so many color options

Great for neons!! Super vibrant and smooth

Any makeup brush will work! I find they are better than the cheap paint brushes since they are more dense!

Some more great brushes for painting! Very dense and helps distribute the paint

The perfect paper! It doesn’t roll up on itself when you’re finished and it’s a great price!

A great way to mirror your design onto your banner if you aren’t comfortable with freehand!
Mini Portable Projectors
The best way to design your template for the banner! There are many free designs, or you can upgrade and purchase ones you need! They are always doing specials too giving away upgrades for certain amounts of time

If you are planning on painting the banner on your wall, a laser level is so important to make sure it is straight!! Some homes are at a slant we don’t know about and it can mess up the whole design 🥲
