For me, it's economics: I can buy those little foam brushes 10/1.00....and my "good" painting brushes are $7.00-$30.00 each! I'd hate to gum up a painting brush with glue....and I don't always get to cleaning up my glue messes right away, especially with decoupage. (Sometimes I do multiple coats, and just slip the foam brush in a plastic baggied in between.) Also, these are easy for my kids to use- and they CERTAINLY don't wash out brushes!I suppose I could by a $3.00 brush and just use it for glue projects, but then I'm wasting all of this water cleaning them out. Hard to tell which plan is the most eco-friendly. In any event, that's my thinking. Sandra, thanks for asking that question!

Why not just wash out a regular brush? I think it’s pretty funny that you suggest using a foam brush so you can throw it away! Why not just wash out a regular brush?
