Basic Banner Painting
This is the paper I use for all of my banners, and I purchase it from Home Depot because that’s the best price I’ve found. It’s thick, heavy, and durable. Highly recommend! It's also an inch wider that the Home Depot brand paper.
TRIMACO X-Paper 36 in. x 100 ft. Roll 12362/4HD
White is the color I go through the fastest! Apple Barrel plain white really has great coverage, especially for the price.
Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint Assorted 8oz White
Another of my favorites for white. I love both this and the Apple Barrel. This one is THIIICCKKKK - excellent coverage. Great for mixing custom colors.
FolkArt Matte Acrylic Paint in Assorted Colors, 16 oz, Wicker White 16 Fl Oz
This was the first paint set I ever bought, and I still reach for it all the time. The lighter colors are perfect for baby showers, birthdays, and spring designs. Full transparency: I don't LOVE the more primary type colors - Apple Barrel opacity is ...
Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint 18 Assorted Colors
Great set for saturated colors that you want to POP! Better coverage than the Apple Barrel primary or jewel tones. The royal fuschia is perfection, and buttermilk is one of my new favorite neutrals!
DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint Set – Popular Colors, 18 Bottles (2 fl oz) – Art and Craft Acrylic Paints for Canvas, Wood, and More
One of my most-used brushes! I use it for thick lettering, borders, and any time I want to cover more space.
wet n wild Foundation Brush, Synthetic Bristles
THE brush everyone's talking about. It's versatile and excellent for lettering on a standard sized banner.

Love these for details or when painting smaller sized banners

This is my favorite brush for detail work and tight spaces.
e.l.f. Essentials Small Concealer Brush Vegan
Another favorite detail brush!
wet n wild Precision Blending Eyeshadow Brush
My most frequently used brush! Concealer brushes are my favorite - I think because they are meant to hold liquid versus powder like shadow brushes, they perform really well for banner painting.
wet n wild Concealer Brush, Under Eye & Brow
This is the projector I use for my banner projects. It's an excellent basic projector, simple to operate, and they have great customer service too!
TMY 1080P Full HD Portable Mini Projector
I love this tripod! I use it on the shortest setting on my dining table, when I'm projecting my designs for banners. It's adjustable and comes with a phone mount so I can use it when filming videos too!
JOILCAN 74" Heavy Duty Camera Tripod Stand
I like these cups for when I know I might have a lot of interruptions during painting and don't want my paint to dry out. It really cuts down on mess and paint waste for me. To me it's also easier to hold a little cup while I'm painting versus a big ...
Amazon Basics Mini Disposable Plastic Cups 2oz, 50 Count
Hands down my favorite tape! I've used this for YEARS for painting walls/trim. We have flat wall paint that's finicky, so I need it to NOT tear up my wall paint when I take my banner down.
ScotchBlue Original Multi-Surface Painter's Tape 1in x 60yd
These are the erasers I use to get rid of any white lines left behind after I’m finished painting. I’ve been using these erasers for years for general purposes and they’re my fave!
Paper Mate Pink Pearl Erasers, 12 Count
Great quality scissors for clean edges when cutting my banner paper.
Fiskars 8" Original Orange-Handled Craft & Fabric Scissors, All Purpose
Little Extras & Finishing Touches
This is the grommet kit I use for all of my hand-painted banners. It's easy to use and creates clean, professional-looking grommets.
803Pcs 1/4 Inch Grommet Eyelet Pliers Kit
This reinforcement tape adds extra strength around grommets and helps prevent tearing, especially for outdoor use or repeated hanging.
Scotch Reinforced Strength Strapping Tape, 1 Roll
I've used a corner rounder for years on everything from banners to invitations and party printables. It's a simple tool, but it gives paper projects a cleaner, more polished finish in just a few seconds.
MyArTool 3 Way Corner Rounder Punch 4/7/10mm
This is what I use to get my straight edges! Best tool hands down if you don’t have a fancy paper dispenser (I don’t 😉).
Wal-Board Tools 22 in. x 48 in. Original Aluminum Drywall T-Square 088-012-HD
These acrylic paint markers are great for fine letter writing, outlining, and drop shadows! I know everyone uses POSCA markers, but honestly they were not in my budget when I got started, and these worked really well for me.
Sharpie Creative Markers, Water-Based, 12 Ct
These markers are SUPER popular and I do LOVE them, mostly for letterings and adding small embellishments. I personally don't love the brush tip for outlining, but that's just me.
POSCA® PC-5BR Brush Tip Paint Markers, 16 Count Reversible Brush Set | Tip size 1.0–4.0 mm, Water-Based Opaque Paint Pens for Lettering, Calligraphy, Coloring, Crafts & Art Projects
These bags are the perfect size for my 3'x5' banners. Plenty of room at the top to tie off with ribbon, and I don't have to fight to get my banners in there. I just cut them down if I need to pack a smaller banner.

Organization
What I use to organize my 2 oz size paint bottles. Genuinely love all of this company's organizational tools - I have them all over my house 😂

I love this little rollling cart! We had it in our laundry room, and I converted it to my art cart. It's so handy, we ended up buying one for my daughter's dorm room too!
