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
A 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.
