I adore the distinctively kitschy look of paint-by-numbers art, not to mention the quaint "everyone's an artist!" idea behind it. Completed number paintings can be great thrift-store finds, and now the frame-mavens at Umbra have come up with the PhotoArt Frame ($55).
Designed by Sative Turner and fashioned from birch, the paint-by-number frame comes with a brush, paint, and an instruction sheet. It holds a 5-by-7 photo, so you can use your finished artwork to display the image of your choosing.

I don't do paint by numbers because I can paint. But this is a great gift
1This is a great idea!
2Cute! I've always been a paint-by-number fan.
3ugh! I would never buy this. it looks tacky.
4That's really neat, I want one!!!
5what a cool idea. i would totally buy one if it were cheaper.
6I like the concept, but I wouldn't pay $55 for this.
7i really like it!
8Not terrible, but I prefer my photos to be in the limelight, not the frames!
9Little too expensive for a 5x7 frame, but I love the concept.
10My sister-in-law did this paint-by-numbers bamboo picture in her room. It looks totally awesome and I think she only paid 10 bucks for it at Michaels or some place!
11So cool! What a great gift idea.
12this is cute!! I like the nostalgic feeling I get from seeing these.. I'd put one.. or two in my home!
13cute, but overpriced. I would pay $20 for this
14i like it!
15sounds like fun
16I love paint by number art, I used to paint some when I was in college.
17I love this! But, yeah, not for $55!
