decided to do a DIY and it worked out pretty well
I couldn't find any of the many paintbrushes that I had purchased for a project I was working on this morning when I came across a popsicle stick and decided to do a DIY and it worked out pretty well.

    Step 1

    Cut a strip off of the old sock. I made mine about an inch wide.

I painted the disc of the "Starship Enterprise" project with the brush and it was a smooth surface the texture of the sock didn't really have much of an impact.

When I paint other items with the brush, I will note it here.
