NO MORE WAVERLY?? | Walmart's NEW Hello Hobby Chalk Paint VS. WAVERLY Chalk Paint | Is It As Good???

- NEW Hello Hobby VS WAVERLY CHALK PAINT. If you’re like me, your Walmart is no longer carrying Waverly Chalk Paint. Which is extremely sad in my opinion. They have replaced it with a new chalk paint called Hello Hobby. From what I have gathered, Walmart is no longer carrying Waverly Chalk Paint, and they have come out with their own line of chalk paint. I have had a lot of viewers tell me their Walmarts still carry Waverly, and then a lot of others say theirs also no longer carries Waverly and they now have Hello Hobby. I have searched online for Waverly, and it is super limited on what I can get as well as marked down, which leads me to believe they are phasing Waverly Chalk Paint out.
So in this video, I am going to compare the two paints together. Waverly Chalk Paint is super popular in the crafting world, so I had to know if the new Hello Hobby Chalk Paint came close to the quality that Waverly Chalk Paint has.

#walmart #waverlychalkpaint #hellohobby
Hey Liz! I reached out to Plaid, who is the makers of Waverly chalk paint. They told me that some Walmarts made some changes to thier modular program so if you don't see it at your normal Walmart then it is likely available at a near by Walmart and you can always order it online! So Waverly isn't going anywhere, you just might have to go to another store or order online at Walmart or Plaid online. (I reached out on thier Facebook page but can share the screen shot of thier response to anyone who is interested) 😍❤
So good to know!!! I was going to say Waverly is always available online!!
Thanks for the info!! I have checked all the surrounding walmart stores near me and none carry it! Sure hope I can find one that does!
I received the same information when I emailed them. I don’t believe it though as it can’t be found in stores anywhere. Plaid saying this was just their way of easing the blow. I’m sure eventually they’ll begin selling it on their website.
My Walmart still has it, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, soon, but I will keep checking.
Thank you for doing this & sharing. It's nice to have choices!
I've always made my own chalk paint from the sample paint from Home Depot (7oz) a 1/4 cup plaster of paris and a 1/4 cup water. I've never had a problem and the finish is beautiful!
doesnt the plaster of paris make it set up, hardening the paint?
You can use calcium carbonate instead of plaster of peris
@@cheriec.8034 if you mix it and use it with in 24 or 48 hours it does just fine. Never had a problem.
@Melissa Lawrence 24 to 48 hours it works great.
I also make my own chalk paint but use calcium carbonate instead - it has an extremely long shelf life.
Waverly by Plaid, Folk Art by Plaid. I would go to Folk Art before resorting to Walmart brand.
Thanks
Yep, me too.
I asked someone at Walmart and they said they are no longer carrying Waverly in the store. So I ordered a lot of the Antique Wax online. I emailed Plaid and asked what's going on and apparently, Walmart didn't let them in on the secret. They said it is made exclusively for Walmart and available online if not in my store. Not now. Not a smart move by Walmart at all.
Oh no!!! 😫 This is terrifying!
That makes no sense. They carry way more than just chalk paint in waverly brand. I think maybe the store has no clue what they are talking about.
@@cryslynnstalents2647 Yet my store carries no Waverly at all now. Online I can order about 8 colors from Waverly, but it's difficult to find the Antique Wax, if not impossible over the last several months.
The change must only be in certain areas, because the stores in my area still carry Waverly
Liz, it's simple really... Walmart wants to profit from the booming chalk paint market. They get rid of their main competitor in their stores and replace it with their products. It's about money. Try adding some water to the new wax. See if thinner is better. Love your channel and products ❣💕😊
Lisa you are 100% right, with Walmart it is all about the profits, they could care less about the customers and what they want. By launching their own brand the are making a higher profit margin.
Except they will sell less of their crappy brand...
@@jessicabixler1658 but they will get 100% of the profits rather than only getting a certain % from selling waverly.
Spot on!
Yes, WALMART needs the extra money from their own paint brand. Profit over everything.
I think they stopped carrying it because of greed!
Walmart, you are so full if greed!
Liz, I would take their version of paints back and send a clear message that you are not happy with their product. I'm sorry but this is really disappointing to hear. Have a blessed evening friend.
Also call the 800-walmart number to complain. If enough people do it, it will change. Believe me.
Thanks for the review. My Walmart still have Waverly looks like I better stock up. Before it's gone
It looks to me like those paints are performing like a basic acrylic paint versus a chalk paint.
They're JUNK
They don’t look the best unfortunately.
My Walmart is overstocked with waverly chalk paint. They aren’t carrying the hobby stuff. There is zero info on them actually discontinuing waverly only the other you tubers spreading that. If you love it you can order directly from Plaid who makes it.
It’s also available on Amazon.
ACTUALLY certain items are NOT available online with Plaid as they were made for Walmart. As they sell out, they will be replacing them with Hello Hobby. Their system isn't ordering anymore Waverly when it's sold, they are shopping the Hello Hobby in place. If you're store has it still, it's because there's not many people buying it in your area. I got all this info from a friend who works at Walmart corporate and has been fielding these questions from everyone.
@@alisambrano I was able to find white on amazon but for a 16 oz they wanted $25.90 😮 and the black was $19.84. I know you can get folk art chalk paint on amazon, maybe a option if you can’t get waverly…. I normally make my own chalk paint if i want it.
I also saw rustoleum sells a much bigger can for around $10 on amazon of the chalk paint.
@@alisambrano that’s interesting. They were out for almost a year now the shelves are full, and yes they sell a ton of it here because it’s too far to hobby lobby and Michaels. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
What are your thoughts on the new Hello Hobby chalk paint?
I'm 7 mins in, but not happy lol I don't like the name or label, feels like it's chalk paint for kids. (But I'm also pouting 😂)
Ok now I'm done with the video. Not impressed at all. 😒 Folk Art is also made by Plaid, so worst case scenario I'll just go over to that. Lol
Its awful!! Smells like house paint, really thick like glue, goes one weird too, Dries sticky like it never really dries. I bought several colors but only tried white, it ruined my project so didnt try the others yet
I commented before watching the video. So glad I was not alone in my experience, I thought maybe I was just being dramatic because I love my Waverly lol but you said exactly everything that I did about it. Thanks for making the video, I hadnt heard if anyone else had used the new stuff yet.
I’ve seen many CZcamsrs who love the Rustoleum chalk paint & apparently it’s less for more paint. So I’ll probably switch to Rustoleum when I can’t find Waverly. AND I better stick up on the Waverly antique wax now! 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
@@anitasanchez-triviso1887 I just bought two 30 oz. containers, of the Rustoleum, linen white, chalk paint, on Amazon, for 10.88/each. That is almost twice as much as Waverly, and costs less than their 16 oz. bottle. The other colors were $18-$22 per 30 oz container.
I know Joanns carrys it just not as many colors. They do have the big bottle of the clear wax
Actually, Joann's carry Folkart Chalk Paint and their own label Pop. I used to work there. Check out the website if you don't believe me though. Also according to everything online Waverly Chalk paint is/was a Walmart exclusive brand.
Our Walmart in Canada doesn't sell "Waverly" they sell the same thing but it's named "Folkart". I haven't seen the Hello Hobby yet. I have to order most of mine on amazon.
I love Waverly but my store don't carry it either. I was at my store when they put them on clearance and I bought a bunch of it.
I'm so boggled by them discontinuing waverly. I do believe that all the diy CZcams channels have a big voice and hopefully they are listening and will some how bring it back. Tfs
I have three Walmarts locally still carrying and stocking Waverly. I like the hellohobby brand.i personally like that hello hobby is thicker I can make it stretch by adding a medium!
Thanks for doing this video to compare the two products, Liz. It's a great help!
So typical that they're replacing a popular, quality product with a lesser quality imitation for the same price. Just wait though, the price will go up *real* soon. It's how they roll! I wish I didn't have to shop there at all, but... Waverly!
Fortunately, the three stores near me all have plenty of stock on their shelves, so I will definitely be stocking up before it's gone! I would like to say if anyone needs any, we who are fortunate to still have access to it could send some to those in need, but with USPS prices going up *again* in August, it'll probably cost an arm and a leg just to send one bottle! Still might be worth it though.... ;)
Best of luck with the hunt, everyone!
I'm in Maryland and our stores still carry Waverley Chalk paint. I'm so sorry to hear that your Walmart is doing this.
Yes my sister purshase fr me in maryland walmatt too cuz im in Jamaica..but honna buy online moving fward so love waverley
My Wal-Mart in Texas is still has Waverly Chalk Paint!
My Walmart in Texas is out, or nearly out. Phasing in their brand. 🙄
All 3 close to me in San Antonio are fully stocked!
Looks like all we’re gonna be doing is learning how to make a good chalk paint DIY
Holly at Hot Humble Pie has a great recipe for DIY chalk paint. Plus she does amazing rustic farmhouse DIYs! 🤗
Talc baby powder or calcium carbonate.
I've used a few different things. My go to is calcium carbonate.
I have always used Folkart chalk paint and absolutely love it and their wax!
My Walmart in Delaware still has waverly as well as Florida as I found on vacation
I love Waverly paints! I'm so sad that Wal-Mart has discontinued it. 😭 I think I'll just switch to Folk Art, or make my own chalk paint. Thanks for the review!
In nova scotia, I cannot find waverly anywhere. Do you use the home decor antique wax? What do you think if it.
@@cherylrafuse3046 Miracles do happen... my Walmart went back to selling Waverly chalk paint about a month ago, so happy. I've tried other antiquing waxes & I think they all work well. Have you tried ordering online?
I feel Wally's knockoffs are never as good as the originals. Good to see a side by side comparison. Thanks.
The Walmart brand gives you more it’s thicker and you can add water to get the same consistency as Waverly so your buying more paint with Walmart vs Waverly which is selling you water with your wax or paint.
HOW INCREDIBLY GREEDY OF WALMART!!
I THINK WE NEED TO ALL COMPLAIN AND DEFINITELY BOYCOTT THEIR “CHALK PAINT” BRAND; which is TERRIBLE in my opinion. (In all honestly, if I had to choose between Walmarts brand vs nothing, I’d rather not use it at all...That’s how much I dislike that crap).
I remember when Cricut tried to switch up their protocol with regards to their software membership and soooooo many people complained, they issued a letter of apology basically saying they made a terrible decision and won’t be following through with the new guidelines as of yet.
So if enough of us complain, hopefully Walmart will follow suit?
so far my Walmart is still stocked with Waverly Chalk Paint. thank you for giving us the comparison and your opinion.!
I have only bought a couple colors of the Waverly. I usually just make my own chalk paint. I like it better and it's more economical.
Me too. I see a few crafters using it, and it performs better on many surfaces than a lot of these paints, but I don’t think it holds up to glass, as well, at least, in my experience. I live in a pretty dusty area, and I don’t think any paint would hold up to me washing it, however, I have seen the homemade chalk paints covering better, on wood and other things. I also like the fact that you have way more color choices. I don’t think waverly has the best color choices, I prefer the Folk Art chalk paint color choices better, than Waverly. The few Waverly colors, that I have bought, are horribly separated, so they must be sitting a long time, in my store, or in their facility, unless that is just something that happens to that paint. I have never had it happen to me with any other paint, unless it has sat for years.
@@MissMolly3377 I have never painted on glass before. I would think any paint would have to have a primer or use mod podge on the glass first. I have a project coming up painting glass and I definitely plan on sealing it well.
I just bought 2 large bottles of the new paint. I will be taking them back. Thanks for letting us know.
Rustulium chalk paint is good I believe that they have it in white and black only in the bigger cans for crafting. I don't know if they have any other colors or if you can have them make colors but they're good and in my opinion fast drying time. I'm so sorry and I'm frustrated too about this change. I did Google this and found nothing about this change. Hoping that it isn't true. Best of luck to you hun.
You did a nice job on comparing paints. My area is still carrying Waverly Paint. I guess I should buy more
Thanks you. I went to my local Walmart and stocked up on Waverley paint
Thanks for your opinion. I think I will really hunt for Waverly.
I use FolkArt wax and chalk paint whenever I can’t find Waverly, I like it the same 🤷🏻♀️
I am going to try these to see for myself. Waverly gets pretty pricey when you DIY a lot! I think with some water and some tweaking I can make it work. I paint in front of a small fan so dry time starts immediately.
Thank you so much! I've heard "whispers" of no more Waverly but could not confirm or find explanations anywhere until your video. Not only do I feel I finally got REAL information here but an honest review of Wal-Mart's replacement chalk paint. Waverly is more than a staple in my craft supplies...its essential..a must have. :(
I was also going to share how popular Folk Art Home Decor chalk paint is & how comparable it is to Waverly’s, and it’s sold on Amazon.
My store still has all the Waverly chalk paint!! I’m going to stock up!
Waverly is made in the USA. If you look on the back of the Hello Hobby paint you will see that it’s made in China and distributed by Walmart. Walmart is probably saving money by shipping a cheaper product from China. I have compared the Waverly to the Hello Hobby and there’s no comparison in my opinion. I’ve seen some good reviews on FolkArt brand and have ordered some to try out. FolkArt is made by Plaid too.
I think you have the correct answer. I am devastated, I was obsessed w this paint.
Thank you for sharing that these new paints smell like house paint. I won’t be buying them for sure! Who needs sticky, smelly paint that doesn’t cover well and takes too long to dry? 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for the review! So far my Walmart in SC is still carrying Waverly.
Thanks for the comparison. As a long time tole painter, midnight was always a beautiful dark blue. ☺ I love Waverly chalk paint but when I use the antique wax, it took a long time to dry and would stay sticky also. That is very frustrating. Not sure if I'll try the walmart brand. Again, Thanks for sharing.
If you look at true chalk paint waxes, you would want it to stay wet or sticky longer, to truly antique something. You may want to distress something, with a chippy brush, and have it dry, right away, but, to truly antique something, it would be better to have a waxier product.
Paint pan=palate,,,,, 🎨🖌 lol
You're too funny...
I love all the goodies you make,, 💕❤
Another youtuber said she buys rustoleum Chalk paint at Walmart on the paint section. She loves.
This was really informative, thank you! I’m going to miss Waverly that’s for sure!
Thank You for the demonstration. I will not buy Walmart's brand. I might need to spend a little more for Martha Stuart or some other brand. I use some Folk Art and it might need additional coats but it has good drying time. I don't like what you said about the drying time. I agree with another comment below that Walmart wants to get in on the chalk paint wagon! Thanks again!
That explains why I can’t find the pumpkin color anywhere. Lol.
Very strange. My Walmart in rural Missouri is still stocked with Waverly.
I'm interested to see what you think, I've not heard anything good yet! 😬 my stores still carry Waverly, but I did see 1 color of the new stuff today. And I also noticed the 16oz of celery & antique wax were marked at$4, so I did grab those up. I'm nervous!
You can also add a little water to loosen up the paint some
Everytime I find something I like, they pull it off the shelf!!!
My Walmart has it. I live in Kentucky idk how long but for now Jackson Walmart has the Waverly chalk paint. I'm gonna stock up on it.
I noticed you don’t open your paint all the way. When I tried Hello hobby white, I opened it all the way. The paint looked like it was as old. The paint was chunky and separating so I returned it. Is that how it all looks?
Walmart here in Minnesota still has Waverly.
Thanks for the review on the paints...I live in Canada and our walmarts don't sell waverly! We have folk art and apple barrel...BUT I know all about waverly cause my cousin from MA mailed me a whole bunch of them and I LOVE THEM...😖...it would be really cool if plaid would start selling them on their website 🤞
Thanks so much for the comparison. I agree with you 💯 percent. I have searched repeatedly on Amazon,Walmart and Plaid with the same results.
Oh my gosh I had a feeling the Waverly Chalk Paint was being discontinued since my Walmart hasn’t had it either and colors are limited online. Antique wax is my absolute fav as well I I needed it to stain three 1x 4 shelves and couldn’t find it anywhere but eBay which cost me $13 for 8oz but it came in a Walmart bag??? I haven’t watched your review yet cuz I was so happy to see that someone else noticed this! Good luck finding the wax and thanks for the review! I checked plaid too!
Sounds like I'll be adding some water to mine, when my Walmart switches. 🤪 They need to leave things that sell alone.
I really like Waverly too, I have used Rustolem also, not bad. Folk Art is probably the closest. So far my Walmart still has waverly.
With thicker chalk paint wouldn't you get more for your money being that you could add water? or no?
Liz what you can do also depending on where you live
I live in California and we have the
Waverly chalk paint and it hasn’t changed
when I was in Arizona visiting someone I was trying to order an item from dollar tree in California and the warehouse here was completely out but when I put my location in Arizona to order the dollar tree lights
I got them and ship them to California so that might be an option is put your location for California and see if the warehouse can ship from there to your house
I'm just switching to Folk Art or Customer chalk paint. TFS!!!
I was so sad when my Walmart got rid of Waverly too. I also really like Folk Art’s chalk paint and if you buy it from JoAnn Fabrics when they have it on sale, it ends up being less than Waverly for the 8 oz. bottles or you can use a coupon and get it for less as well! Thanks for doing a comparison of the two, hopefully Plaid decides to restock it Waverly!
Liz, thank you so much for doing this review! I live in upstate South Carolina and fortunately my Walmart is still well-stocked on Waverley! If they do discontinue it and start carrying the Hello Hobby brand, I may give it a try because I liked a couple of the colors you featured that are different from Waverley‘s. But I would rather stick with my tried and true Waverley!
By the way I always enjoy your videos and am inspired by your creative ideas!
You are so sweet! Thank you!
Hello from Upstate SC! Greenville / Anderson!
I’m from Mississippi and my Walmart still carries WAVERLY chalked paint.
I actually dont mind the HELLO brand but I use a bigger brush for larger areas and I feel like if you would do the same you would get much better coverage..> use a regular lil larger brush or a smaller foam brush and have no issues with coverage. I don't hate it but I don't love it either so🤷♀️🤷♀️
I noticed that Hello Hobby is manufactured in China. That makes it a cheap, junk paint and if they sell it for the same price as Waverly, they make out. I got one bottle to try but now I'm not sure if I want to. If it stinks I probably can't use it because I am sensitive to odors like that. I just got a lot of Folk Art Multi Surface acrylic paint. It's not chalk paint but will do until I can make my own or need real chalk paint. Thankfully I have a lot of Waverly left. I have one more Walmart to check. It's further away but it'll be worth it if they have the Waverly.
So far, my Walmart’s in Baytown Texas , still have Waverly
If you go to Walmart online they carry it. And would be delivered to your home. Hope this helps you out.
I am new to crafting I have only used Waverly paints, I love them. Thank you for your testing of this new paint.
My stores around me still have it and I cannot order the other brand except I believe in the largest bottles
I like Folkestone (not the decor chalk paint because cors are off) but they only do smaller containers in store and I refinish furniture
My Walmart's are still carrying Waverly Chalk Paint however the shelves aren't completely stocked. I'm in Daytona Beach Florida
So my store in 22601 is fully stocked with waverly.. Right down to 3 large bottles for 15...hopes this helps
I love the little barn house in the back. Would love to know how you made that
The red one? It's actually one of my craft kits that are available on my website :) www.mooredecalanddecor.com
Thank you for sharing your review and thoughts about the two paints. There will probably be a place we can purchase the Waverly chalk paint moving forward, like Amazon. Walmart has been carrying Waverly home dec fabrics and I assume the paint was in colors to coordinate, so maybe the fabrics will go away, too. My observation is that the fabrics did not move very well, which costs money, and we know how Walmart rolls back prices on everything, and its gonna be a tradeoff. 🤦🏻♀️ I have experienced so much that I don't like about Walmart ways, that I am choosing to go there less and less for anything. Expiration dates, for example, tend to be closer than I see at Safeway or Frys, the Buckeye Frys being an exception 🤦🏻♀️. Anyway, I ramble...
TYFS and Happy 4th!
I have been trying to find Waverly Chalk Paint in "Fawn" (color) for a while. It's not available online or in-store (Yes, I know it's only sold at Walmart). I've contacted Plaid via email who only repeatedly say, "We continue to make Waverly Chalk Paint in Fawn for Walmart. We cannot control what Walmart decides to sell and not sell." So I guess somewhere there is this stockpile of Fawn paint that Plaid keeps manufacturing but Walmart isn't selling. (sarcasm) Walmart Rep just says, "We are out of stock on that" Gotta love when no one wants to get to the bottom of a matter and give you a REAL answer.!!
I went to the Plaid website and tried to purchase Waverly Chalk Paint. The Folk Art chalk paint could be added to my cart but none of the Waverly ones could. I wonder if Plaid is doing away with it and it isn't a matter of Walmart choosing not to carry it.
Yeah that was my experience as well :(
That barn is so cute
Try and order Waverly through Wal-Mart using a different zip code. I’ve done that before and got what I needed by changing my account to another store.
ooo that's a good idea!
I cannot find any Waverly ANYWHERE... Not at Hobby Lobby, or Joanne or Meijer (like a target)
Holly on Hot Humble has a DIY receipe that is great. It is made out of Calcium carbonate (food grade)
I checked Amazon, they sell falk art mainly, had some white Waverly a 160z bottle is $25 but only had 6 left.
I dont like the new paint at Walmart, im in tn my store still has some but not a lot and its the small bottles, they are going to loose a lot of money by doing this. People may buy it once but after that they will be hunting Waverly... I hope we can get it somewhere.
How long does the wavered paint stay good when unopened. Would hate to stock up only to have it be unusable later on?
I'm not totally sure about that. I just opened an unopened bottle that I had for at least a year and after I shook it all up it seemed just fine to me
Plaid makes folk art chalk paint as they also make waverly which waverly is exclusively sold at Walmart! But I couldn’t find anything as to where hello hobby is manufactured- but my guess would be not made in the USA just bc of the other items with the hello hobby brand.
Craft smart makes a premium antique wax which I like a lot! I’m not sure where I purchased it but most likely Walmart Michaels or Joann’s but I definitely recommend trying it the one I have is 2oz I’m not sure what other sizes if any that it comes in !
I believe it is a brand carried at Michaels bc I just looked it up and pricing w coupon 1.59 so a little higher than waverly but not much
It's manufactured in China. That's what it says on the bottle. I am going to have to give those a try!
@@LizabethMoore
I figured that was where it was made or India. I used to work at a paint factory in purchasing and Walmart was one of our customers, it makes me a little angry bc they were priding themselves in carrying made in USA products! My guess is plaid couldn’t fulfill their orders fast enough during the pandemic with the waverly brand! So they maybe dropped them?!? Idk hopefully the other chalk paint by plaid has similar colors?!? 🤞🏻
I went to my Walmart the other day and only this Hello Hobby stuff with Waverly signing. So bummed cuz I love Waverly! Guess I'll spend more and buy Folkart. I'm so glad you did this review! Thank you for doing the work for us!
You know, it Could be, both, plaid and Walmart, working together to make more money. Everyone is quick to blame Walmart, who, I agree, is greedy, however, it could be Plaid is trying to make more money, as well. Both, Waverly and Folk Art, are made by plaid. The Waverly and the Folk Art are the exact same formula, of paint, except, in my opinion, Folk Art has better colors. However, since Folk Art is more expensive, maybe, Plaid is trying to make more money, too. You can’t just blame Walmart, because I have heard several different stories, that Plaid has told to various people, who have called them. So, who is lying?
I bought hello hobby in white and gravel and I don’t care for the white at all. The gravel color is really pretty and covers better than the white. I agree they are definitely more like acrylic paints. I probably won’t buy it unless I have to. I love the linen white and all the other colors I’ve used by Rustoleum and my Walmart carries a few colors of Rustoleum. I was able to order several of the medium sized Waverly paints from Walmart the other day so I know I got lucky there. Lol! Thanks for sharing your review Liz!
Yeah, I just got two 30 oz container of Rustoleum, linen white, for 10.88/each, on Amazon. That is cheaper than the 16 oz Waverly paint.
I use Folk Art chalk paint and was and have good luck with them why is there this thing about Waverly?
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 I love painting with chalkboard paint..
Walmart where I live still has it, for now anyway, limited stock though. Walmart did raise the price on it, of course.
My Walmart here in SoCal had no Waverly either. I picked up the white in the new brand and hated it. It wasn't a tri white and the coverage was awful.
The new wax seems to be like a furniture wax. And if you use the clear waverly wax it tells you to use a dry cloth like an old T-shirt and buff the wax and it will shine and no more sticky feeling. I haven’t tried the new stuff but I’ve worked a lot with the Waverly clear wax
I just purchased the largest bottle of Waiverly crimson paint at my local Wal-Mart the other day. It was the only size in the color crimson. I wanted to start on my Christmas projects for this year early and, I can't find my brand new bottle in the medium size along with the green. I think I packed them up with my Christmas crafts from last year. Thanks for sharing this information. Now I am thinking about going and purchasing the pumpkin color in the Waiverly chalk paint before I miss out as well as the other colors just in case my Wal-Mart changes over to their new hello hobby brand. I definitely will NOT be buying their products of "chalk paint" Ugh. Why can't they just leave it alone. 😒
Do what I do with my paint. I paint the top of my bottles with the paint in the bottle. It really helps me when going for the color that I need instead of going through all of my paints. Easy peasy and a time saver, who doesn't want to save time. Plus I do it to my acrylic paint bottles too.
Yes! I do this with my acrylic paints. I will have to do it with my chalk paints too!
Great idea.
I am so sad !!!!! I will have to check my Walmart's hopefully I can stock up, thank you for doing this
Thanks for the review on these paints. will be making a run to find the waverly brand!!
Walmart.com is carrying the Waverly in so-called kits of three. Example one of the kids has white elephant and ink in it. Another one has crystal, pool, and ocean as a kit and these were $14.37 for 3 8oz bottles
That is a better price than it is in my store. They are over $6 in my store.
Thank you Liz for doing the comparison. ❤
I use DecoArt, Americana DECOR, Chalky Finish, chalk acrylic paint. We don't have any craft stores near by, so I order it thru Amazon in the 8 oz jars. It has excellent coverage and spreadability. I really like it.
I always used Waverly chalk paint, but I noticed Michaels has the Folkart Chalk paint. They are both from Plaid so hopefully same quality.
I just ordered 2 Antique Wax bottles from Walmart, got the message that there was only 2 left ordering online.
Thanks for the information, I am going today to the Walmart stores in my area to buy any Waverly chalk paint I can get 🤞🏽
I have recently seen that many crafters are preferring the folk art wax, to Waverly. A lot of them liked the crafts smart wax better, too. I am not impressed with the Waverly wax, myself.
I did pottery almost all my life, and I had to say goodbye to some of the paints I used. I guess it's happening to most brands. Thanks for sharing this video. I better head to my walmart for whatever waverly is left.
