How to Choose Craft Supplies on AliExpress

  1. Count the colours, then check the tip — paint pens are sold in sets of 12 to 300+. Check the tip size (fine, medium or brush) before the colour count.
  2. Airbrush: compressor matters — a cordless mini compressor is great for models, nails and cake decorating; for large surfaces you need a bigger mains compressor.
  3. Resin: read the cure time — two-part epoxy lists its mixing ratio and cure time. Work in a ventilated room and wear gloves.
  4. Orders & rating — hundreds of orders and 4.6★+ — and look at buyer photos of the finished results, not just the product photo.
