If you are looking for a very cheap drying rack then the Best Value drying rack with clips is an option but not the greatest.

Usually this type of dryer rack is for cloths and small items of clothing such as socks and underwear. If you want to use this for now then by all means do, but it is recommended that paint is semi dry and won’t be running and dripping, otherwise your children’s paintings will get ruined.

What is great about this compact drying rack is that it already has the clips attached to it and can be left outside to dry in the wind so paintings will drying much quicker than in a room. But it is more suitable for fabric painting artwork. It sells for less than $10 but is made of plastic and the clips are breakable, especially if this dryer drying rack is left outside in the sunshine.

The next type of hanging drying rack is the wooden drying rack with nylon ropes.

This is also a collapsible drying rack and can simply be folded up when not in use. No assembly required and really space saving in that regard. It acts as a portable washing line and can be used to dry paintings both inside and outside.

The only recommendation is that if you do choose the dry wet paper paintings on this type of wooden dryer, then you best put a tray of some sorts to catch any drips of paint and to avoid staining your floors. Hanging driers like this sell for less than $20 and area good starting point for people on a tight budget.

Classroom teachers usually have a lot more paintings to dry so require more drying space, but do not have the table top space or clothesline space in the classroom.

This is where a hanging drying rack that can either be hung from a table or mounted on a wall comes in really handy.

What’s even better about this type of hanging rack is that you are not actually drip drying the artwork as such but rather drying it flat. This is ideal but not always possible. Teachers who have a budget can afford to spend this bit extra since these art drying racks sell for at least $100 not including shipping.
