Face Painting

Children love to have their face panted. This is a popular activity at carnivals and fairs. Set up a face painting booth at your next craft show or fair. Enlist the help of some talented artists from your group to help paint faces. Have a practice session before hand so that you will know what you are doing. Face painting kits can be bought online and at some party supply stores. Shop around for the best deal. You will want to have seats, water for cleaning brushes, wet wipes, face paints and examples of face painting that the kids can choose from. You could charge as little as a dollar for simple art work or up to five dollars or more for elaborate ones. As your young customers walk around they will drive more customers to you. Offer instant photos of the face painting for a dollar more, so they have a lasting memory. This will be a fun fundraiser for everyone.

We have managed to get some free space from the county each year at the county fair and set up a face painting booth. We get the more artistically inclined girls from the squad to do the actually painting and the rest of the girls try and herd in some customers. We charge 3 dollars per face painting which keeps it affordable but because we do it at such a high attendance event, we manage to paint well over 100 faces per day on all six days of the fair.

As a professional face painter, I highly agree that face painting is a great fundraiser. However, it can be dangerous if you do not use the right products. Whatever you do, do not use acrylic paints.They can burn the skin and leave scars. Palmer's liquid paints and grease paints are also something that you should shy away from. While cheap, they will be really hard to work with and will be extremely messy. I recommend purchasing a small water activated kit from Snazzaroo. Below is a link to where you can purchase one, as well a link to where you can purchase the proper sponges at a reasonable price. Buy a pack of Loew Cornell brushes from your local craft store using a coupon, and you should be set. You can also look on youtube for how tos of the most popular designs.
Good luck on your fundraising!
