Standard Paint by Numbers Kits

What a Standard Kit Contains

The Canvas and Paints

A rolled cotton-blend canvas printed with the design, the numbers and a legend along the edge, plus pre-mixed acrylics matched to that legend with a small surplus of each colour.

The Tools

Three brushes in different widths, a sorting tray, tweezers, wax and hanging hardware. These are identical across all kit formats.

Standard Versus Framed Versus Mini

Standard

Rolled canvas, no frame, full paint set. The default choice and the best price per kit.

Framed and Mini

A framed kit arrives pre-mounted, which saves a step and suits a gift. Mini kits are smaller canvases with reduced palettes.

Preparing a Rolled Canvas

Unrolling

Leave it flat face up under a light weight for a day. This removes most of the curl without touching the print.

Creases

If a crease remains, iron the back on a low setting with a cloth between iron and canvas. Never iron the printed side.

Framing a Standard Kit

Standard Sizes

30x40, 40x50 and 50x60 cm fit standard frames. Measure the canvas rather than the printed image area.

Alternatives

A framer can stretch the canvas over bars, which removes the margin. Hardware is included, so an unframed hanging is also a legitimate finish.

Where to Go Next

For Frames and Tools

Replacement brushes, trays and frames sit in the accessories collection.

For a Shorter Project

Mini kits finish in four to eight hours, and the mini kit collection lists the designs built for that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a frame included?

No. Framed versions are sold separately at checkout.

Does the canvas arrive folded?

Rolled, in a tube or a stiff mailer depending on size.

Are the paints the same as the framed kits?

Yes, same formulation and count.

Can I stretch the canvas instead of framing it?

Yes. A framer can stretch it over bars, which removes the printed margin.

What if the canvas arrives creased?

Lay it flat under a light weight, or iron the back with a cloth between iron and canvas.
