If you’re thinking of starting an in-person paint party business (and you absolutely should!) you need to build your toolbox! That’s why I’m sharing my top essential business paint party tools with y’all. These four simple tools provide a solid foundation for all of your paint party ventures, and will help you run your business with ease!

4 Must-have paint party tools I recommend

I’m often asked which paint party tools I think are most useful, particularly when someone is just starting out. When you’re a paint party newbie, it’s tricky to know where to begin!

Lucky for y’all, I’ve tried just about every paint party tool under the sun – and these four are the ones I most recommend to anyone who asks. 

1. Essential Stencils 

I always recommend Essential Stencils as a part of any paint party supply list. They sell high-quality sign stencils that produce professional-looking results whether you’re a pro or not!

These stencils are super user-friendly and a great way to build confidence in those attending your paint party, regardless of their painting experience. 

If you’re not the most artistically inclined, paint parties can seem intimidating! But stencils can make your paint parties suitable for any skill level. Plus, the results are really pretty!

You can read more about Essential Stencils, why I love them, and how to use them here!

You can browse their collections for specific themes and holidays or stock up on their best sellers. They offer stencils and rub-on transfers with everything from cute phrases to watercolor flowers.

2. DecoArt paint 

The most important part of any in-person paint party is, well, the paint!

I HIGHLY recommend DecoArt for all of your paint supply needs because they sell great quality paint at a low price. It works really well and has an incredible color range – perfect for stocking up! 

DecoArt acrylic paints are a big part of my paint parties – you can find one in just about every color and finish imaginable.

My particular favorite is this blingy, gorgeous 24k gold paint! It adds an extra amount of WOW to your paintings with just a few brush strokes. 😉

And as a bonus, DecoArt offers a ton of free paint resources on their website, from color charts to project inspiration. Make sure to take advantage of those!
