The best chalk paint brush for chalkboard walls and furniture

Your little one feels restless on rainy days when they can’t spend time outdoors. Make free time more fun by creating an interactive wall, starting with a chalk paint brush. These brushes help you make a chalkboard wall for doodles, homework help, and puzzles. We’ve gone ahead and gathered up the most worthy brushes here to help you choose.

The best brush for chalk paint is made of natural bristles to prevent streaks or uneven application. Round heads with a high bristle count are also preferred to make the final product look extra polished. If you’re painting a piece of furniture, use chalk paint wax brushes to apply a protective layer against water damage, scratches, and stains. Otherwise, two coats of chalk paint with your natural brush will suffice. Let’s get started and see which brushes work for you.

Brossum 2-in-1 Round Chalk Brush

Easy – to – Grip Handle

The Brossum tool is a low-shedding natural boar bristle brush that works with all paints, waxes, and colors. Its ergonomic handle is easy to grip and won't tire out your hand during the painting process. When your project is complete, and the brush is clean, hang it up to dry using the leather strap.

Modern Art Supplies Chalk Paintbrushes

Best Value

The Modern Art Supplies brush is a set of one round and one oval brush for painting small and large areas. This is the best value pick on our list, especially if you're frequently on the hunt for new painting projects at home. Each brush is topped with natural bristles held together by a nickel ferrule that won't break down with any chalk paint.

Tatler & Tatum Natural Bristle Round Paintbrush

Best Low-shed Design

The Tatler & Tatum brush boasts a dense, natural brush head that won't shed with repeated use, thanks to the company's own effective epoxy adhesive. It's compatible with chalk and milk paint and any wax on the market. This round brush is also easy to clean without worrying about pulling out any bristles.

Chalk paint brushes are typically round or oval with dense natural bristles that help you apply the paint evenly. A comfortable, easy to grip handle makes painting quicker and easier, while convenient hanging straps make storage a cinch. If you haven’t decided on the color or paint type yet, no worries–all the brushes on our list are compatible with all chalk paints and waxes.
