I'm blanking out. Hosting a paint party but I'm not home and don't have easels. I think it really makes a difference to have the canvas propped up but what can we use?

I have seen a pizza box "hack" online but I did that once and it was a huuuuuge shlep to pick up and deliver 20 pizza boxes and then have to tape them each inside out. Really hoping to avoid that.

You can use grape juice or soda bottles to prop them up.

I’ve used 2 wine bottles- one in each corner of the canvas.
Honestly, easels are not necessary for paint nights. It makes it funnier but not like a Rembrandt is coming out of the night

I know it's not strictly necessary but especially when working on a bigger canvas (I'm doing 11x14 so a little on the big side) it's a lot easier, so I was wondering if anyone had creative ideas.

Thanks!

I've used small boxes. Can you ask everyone coming to bring a sturdy small box to lean it against
