Framed vs No Frame ExplainedUpdated 4 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 kit will include a framing solution so your artwork can be displayed once completed. Depending on your location and local shipping limitations, this may be one of the following:
Pre-stretched canvas on a wooden frame, ready to paint immediately
orA DIY frame kit (for standard-sized paintings), which allows you to assemble and stretch the canvas yourself after painting
In both cases:
The canvas is designed to fit the included frame
The finished artwork can be displayed without needing an external frame
All necessary materials and instructions are included

Important note:
Due to shipping size restrictions in some countries, we may send a DIY frame instead of a pre-stretched frame. This ensures safe delivery while still allowing you to frame and display your artwork easily.
Best for:
Customers who want a complete solution for displaying their artwork and don’t want to source a frame separately.
🎨 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
A flexible and lightweight option that can be rolled and stored easily
Full freedom to stretch or frame the canvas later, in any style or size you prefer

Best for:
Customers who want an easy-to-store option or prefer to choose their own custom framing.
