Paint by Numbers

What's included in every kit

Each kit contains a printed canvas with numbered sections, matching numbered acrylic paint pots, and a set of brushes. Most designs offer frame options — No Frame (rolled canvas) if you'll frame it yourself, DIY Frame for a wooden frame you assemble, or Pre-stretched Canvas ready to hang.

How to choose the right kit

First time? Start with a mini kit or a simpler design with larger numbered areas. Detailed landscapes and portraits take longer but give a more impressive finished piece. Pick a subject you'd genuinely want on your wall — you'll spend several enjoyable hours with it.

Not sure where to begin? Our beginner's guide to your first kit covers canvas sizes, frame options, brush technique and the mistakes that leave kits unfinished. If you are weighing up crafts, read how paint by numbers compares with diamond painting, dot painting and punch needle.

Why it makes a great gift

It's a gift that lasts beyond the unwrapping: the recipient makes something with their own hands and hangs it up. Popular for birthdays, Eid, house-warmings, and as a screen-free weekend activity for families.
