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
This is my go-to budget acrylic paint set! It has a great variety of colors, covers well, and is an excellent value if you're just getting started or painting banners regularly.

White is the color I go through the fastest! This is my go-to bottle because it has great coverage and is perfect for lettering, touch-ups, and mixing custom colors.

This was the first paint set I ever bought, and I still reach for it all the time. The soft colors are perfect for baby showers, birthdays, and spring designs. It's a staple for me!

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
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.

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!

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.
