Painting The Town Red! By Sarahlovesmickey on Feb 25, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I enjoy doing really anything that has to do with arts and crafts. I found very affordable acrylic paints at Walmart. They are the Apple Barrel brand and I just love them! Most of them come in a small 2 oz. bottle for only like 50 cents. The bigger bottle is 8ozs. and are about $1.50. Although these paints are cheap in price, they work wonders on projects. The color selection is amazing because with every color, they have all the different shades. My kids love them for their little projects. The only thing about these, is that they aren't really washable if you get them on clothing, especially if the color is dark. They are fast drying on materials like paper and wood. Depending on the color you choose and the material you use, you may have to do a couple of coats to get the coverage you want. For smaller projects, a 2oz. bottle will last a long time. For bigger projects, I tend to go with the bigger bottle. I also love that these paints tend to not get all clumpy and dried out. I would highly recommend this brand of acrylic paint to anyone!
