Craft paint

Craft paint is a generic term, referring to almost any type of paint that you might use for a craft. Therefore, when I say “craft paint,” I might be referring to acrylic paint, fabric paint, Stick-It paint (to make window stickers), or any of a number of other types of craft paint. The craft paint that you use depends entirely upon the sort of project that you are wanting to complete.

There are some craft paints, like fabric craft paint, that have specific purposes – most likely, you are not going to want to paint a wood chair with fabric paint! Of course, other craft paints, like acrylic paint, can be used for many different types of craft projects. A person might use acrylic craft paint to paint a picture frame or a wood chair or a canvas, etc. Acrylic craft paint is fairly versatile.
