Have you ever looked at a painting and thought, “Could I really teach this and make money from it?” The answer is YES, and I’m here to show you how to make money teaching paint parties! Paint parties are easier than you think to host, and they can be a fun way to earn extra cash—or even grow a full-fledged business. So, grab your paintbrushes (or just your coffee for now), and let’s dive into the low-cost supplies and tips that can help you start making money today.
Supplies: Keep It Simple!
First things first: you don’t need a fancy studio or loads of expensive materials to teach a successful paint party. You’ll need just a few key supplies, which I’ll break down for you here:
- Canvas: Start with smaller sizes like 11×14 or even smaller. They’re budget-friendly, and your painters can finish faster with less paint!
- Brushes: My go-to brushes are a 1-inch flat, a round size 6 or 8, and a liner brush for those fine details.
- Paint: Stick to a few basic colors! For example, you can create an entire painting with just blue, pink, black, and white.
- Glitter Glue: Trust me on this one—adults love glitter just as much as kids. My favorite is the crystal glitter glue, which works on nearly any painting. Add sparkle to elevate the fun factor!
- Other Essentials: You’ll need paper plates, Solo cups for rinsing, baby wipes for quick clean-ups, and a cheap tablecloth to protect surfaces. All of these can be found at your local dollar store!
Feeling fancy? You can even invest in reusable wooden palettes or aprons, but don’t let the lack of these stop you. You can get started without them!
Why You Don’t Need a Studio
One of the biggest myths about how to make money teaching paint parties is thinking you need a studio or a franchise to make it work. Here’s the truth: you can go mobile! I’ve been hosting paint and sip parties for nearly two decades, all without owning a single building. You can set up in community centers, restaurants, church halls, or even people’s homes. Low overhead = bigger profits.
Your First Party: The Practice Party
If you’re nervous about hosting your first event, I’ve got you covered. Start with a practice party—invite family and friends over, put on some music, and walk them through a simple design. It’s a great way to build confidence and fine-tune your teaching style.
Pro Tip: Don’t worry about being perfect. Your guests aren’t there to judge your expertise; they’re there to have fun and create something they’re proud of. This is about helping them relax, laugh, and escape from their everyday stresses for a couple of hours.
From Simple Paintings to Real Profits
Here’s the thing: you don’t have to overcomplicate your paintings. Most of my designs use just 2-4 colors and focus on easy-to-teach techniques. The real magic comes in the experience you create for your guests. Bring a positive vibe, some glitter, and maybe a great playlist, and you’re good to go!
Want to know the best part? You can turn this into a consistent income stream. Whether it’s a side hustle or your main gig, paint parties have the potential to change your life just like they did for me.
