Spray paint or Acrylic?...DIY card box

I am not doing fabric and have read that some people have done spray paint and acrylic paint. What do you think is the best way to go?

I personally think spray paint would go on more evenly... I'm a mess with a paintbrush even though I consider myself crafty.

I think that about the spray paint also but, my mom thinks the boxes will get ruined...like cave in.

I was thinking this too, maybe if you use the regular paint but use a paint roller to help it be more even. I hope this helped a little.

Hmmm... maybe a full size paint roller then? I always use those crappy sponge brushes.

Do they make the regular rolls half size?
