This feels like a weird sentence to type, but one of the silver linings of COVID was all the focus on crafting and creative hobbies. (One of the silver linings for me anyway. But, as a DIY blogger, I may be a little biased.)
With our fast-paced lives, it can be hard to slow down and unwind. Plus, a lot of creative hobbies that are great for relaxation – like painting and sculpting – have a pretty steep learning curve.
The rise of Insta-worthy craft kits has definitely made crafting more accessible (and trendy) over the past few years. And one of my favourite trends? Painting by numbers. It’s fun, surprisingly easy and you get something practical at the end of it – artwork.
However, the costs of the full kits can easily add up over time . . . so why not go for a printable paint-by-numbers set and DIY it? Here are 35 of my favorite paint by number printables you’ll want to try out ASAP.
