Aprons are an essential item for the art room. For many, this means keeping a bin of hand-me-down t-shirts for students to grab when things get messy. But, have you ever considered purchasing real aprons instead?

I use to use old t-shirts in my classroom, but I kept running into problems with them that finally made me switch. If you’re also a little tired of dingy paint shirts or are looking for a fresh way to store your aprons, make sure to take a peek at the video. I guarantee it will have you rethinking your use and storage of aprons in the art room.
