Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is paint by numbers and how does it work?
A1: Paint by numbers is an art activity where a canvas is pre-printed with a numbered outline. Each number corresponds to a specific paint colour included in your kit. Simply match the number on the canvas to the paint pot, fill in the area, and gradually your painting comes to life — no artistic skill required!

Q2: Which category is best for complete beginners?
A2: We recommend starting with our Easy & Beginners category, which features larger sections, fewer colours, and simpler shapes. The Flowers and Landscapes categories also offer many beginner-friendly options.

Q3: Can I order a custom paint by numbers kit from my own photo?
A3: Absolutely! Our Make Your Own category lets you upload any photo — a pet, a portrait, a holiday memory — and we'll convert it into a unique, personalised paint by numbers kit. It makes a wonderful bespoke gift.
