Aprons for painting/messy play

[Chell]

What sort of aprons do you use for painting? Any ideas of the cheapest place to buy them?

Thanks

My mum in law makes mine. I use them for all sorts from meal times to messy play and painting. They don't have sleeves though. They cost £5 each. If you are interested I will try to post a pic.

I have the ikea ones they have sleeves with velcro on so you can adjust the length.

Thanks, I didn't realise so many places sold them so I am glad I asked.

It was old shirts that we were advised to use in senior school. :thumbsup:
