Betem Acrylic Paint Markers Pens (Dual Tip) – 120 dual-tip colours for wood, fabric, canvas and more
Product description
The essentials
Betem’s acrylic paint marker pens are aimed at one job: turning ideas into coloured, opaque marks on lots of different surfaces, without needing brushes and palettes. The headline here is the dual-tip setup (a fine 1 mm nib for detail and a round 1–5 mm nib for broader colour), plus a set size that reaches 120 colours, including metallic shades.
It’s a useful option if you’re into arts and crafts that mix materials—think painted rocks, small DIY decorations, or adding colour to cards and journals. The ink is described as opaque, water-based, and (importantly for many households) odourless and acid-free.
That said, it’s not going to suit everyone. If you’re after super-precise, professional-level fine art linework on demanding surfaces, you may find “marker-style” control a bit different to specialist pens or paints. And as with many acrylic marker styles, drying and cap habits matter.
Key takeaways
The dual tips are the main reason these markers work day to day: switch to the fine nib when you want outlines or tiny accents, then move to the round nib when you want to fill areas without changing tools.
The set also leans into practicality. You’re getting 120 colours overall, with 12 metallic colours for highlights and accents. Plus, they come packed in a sturdy, durable zipper bag for storage and keeping colours together.
On the “does it actually work?” side, the ink is described as suitable for a wide spread of surfaces: paper/cardstock, metal, rock painting, wood, plastic, canvas, fabrics, ceramics, and more. That range is the sort of thing that makes these markers attractive for mixed-media DIY.
A small limitation to keep in mind: the product notes that you should tighten the cap and store pens horizontally if you don’t use them. So if you’re the type to leave caps off or store them upright, you may run into faster drying issues than you’d like.
What’s especially handy in use
Picture a weekend project: you’re decorating painted stones for a garden display. You’d likely start with the fine 1 mm nib to draw clean outlines (names, simple patterns, faces), then swap to the 1–5 mm round nib to fill in the shapes without going back and forth all the time.
Or say you’re adding accents to a greeting card or scrapbook page. The opaque, water-based ink description suggests you can expect solid coverage on suitable craft stocks and porous-ish craft materials. For canvas or ceramics, it’s the kind of marker you reach for when you want colour quickly, rather than waiting for brush techniques.
The “upgraded cotton nibs version” is another practical detail. The markers are described as having cotton nibs (different from ordinary push-type acrylic pens), and they can be used directly and dry faster. That’s the kind of improvement that can make the difference between “ready to go” and “wait for it to settle.”

Where it shines (and where it may fall short)
These markers make sense if you want one tool family that can handle a broad range of everyday surfaces—especially in crafts where you’re bouncing between paper/card, rocks, wood, and decorative items. The dual-tip design supports both outlining and filling, which is more versatile than single-tip markers.
Where it may not be the best match is if your project demands consistently razor-sharp micro-lines, or if you’re working on surfaces not mentioned in the description and you’re unwilling to test. Also, because the markers can dry faster and the notes stress cap-tightening and horizontal storage, they’re not ideal for anyone who treats pens casually between sessions.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It suits you if you’re regularly doing DIY crafts: painted rocks, greeting cards, scrapbook/bullet journal/plan pages, holiday card making, or general decorative work where you like a wide colour range.
You may want to skip it if you only ever use one surface type and you don’t need 120 colours—sets of that size can be overkill if you’re mostly looking for a couple of basic shades. It might also be a less comfortable buy if you’re very particular about longevity and storage conditions, because the cap and storage note is something you’ll need to follow.
Final verdict
Betem’s acrylic paint markers are a strong “crafts-first” set: dual tips, opaque water-based ink, and a broad surface list, all packaged in a zipper bag for organised storage. In the real world, that combination is what you notice when you’re switching from outlines to filling quickly.
They’re a purchase worth considering if you like experimenting across materials and you want plenty of colour choices, including metallics. They’re less ideal if you’ll ignore storage/cap habits, or if you’re chasing ultra-fine, paint-like control on every surface without testing.
