Framed vs No Frame ExplainedUpdated 17 days ago

What’s the Difference Between a Paint-By-Numbers Kit With Frame and Without Frame?

When ordering your paint-by-numbers kit, you can choose between a framed or unframed version. Both options include the same beautiful design and all the painting materials you need — the only difference is how your canvas is prepared. Below is a simple breakdown to help you choose the best option for you.


🎨 Paint-By-Numbers Kit With Frame


If you choose the “With Frame” option, your canvas will arrive:

  • Pre-stretched over a wooden frame

  • Secure, sturdy, and ready to paint immediately

  • Already shaped and tightened, so the surface is smooth and easy to work on

  • Ready to hang as soon as your artwork is finished — no extra steps required

Best for:
Customers who want a convenient, ready-to-use setup with no additional framing needed.


🎨 Paint-By-Numbers Kit Without Frame


If you choose the “Without Frame” option, you will receive:

  • The linen canvas cloth only, with your chosen design printed on it

  • flexible and lightweight option that can be stored or rolled easily

  • The freedom to stretch or frame the canvas later, in any style you prefer

Best for:
Customers who want an easy-to-store, easy-to-carry option and prefer the freedom to frame their artwork in any style they like.
