Halloween Paint by Numbers: Kits, Custom Options, and Where to Buy

Halloween paint by numbers kits give you a seasonal project with a finished piece worth displaying through October and beyond.

Halloween paint by numbers kits are a natural fit for the season. Instead of a decoration you buy and store for next year, a Halloween paint by numbers canvas is something you made yourself, which makes it worth keeping. Whether you are looking for a spooky project to work on in October, a Halloween activity to do with someone, or a seasonal painting to display at home, this guide covers what is available, what to expect from each option, and how to choose the right kit.

Halloween Paint by Numbers Kits

The Halloween range includes spooky scenes and seasonal designs built specifically for the occasion. Two designs are currently available, with more being added to the collection ahead of October.

Both kits are part of the broader holiday and seasonal collection, which covers Halloween, Christmas, and other occasion-specific designs across 54 products. Browse the full seasonal collection to see everything currently available.

Halloween Paint by Numbers for Adults

Halloween paint by numbers for adults uses the same 40x50cm canvas and full colour count as the standard adult range, with seasonal subject matter built for the occasion.

Halloween kits for adults follow the same structure as the full adult range. A 40x50cm canvas, a complete set of numbered acrylic paint pots, brushes, and the option to add a frame at checkout. The Halloween subject matter is what changes, not the quality or format of the kit.

Halloween is one of the better occasions for a paint by numbers project because the timing works in your favour. October gives you several weekends to work through the canvas before the season peaks, and the finished piece is something you can display immediately rather than storing it until next year. A haunted forest or a Halloween cat canvas hung in October was something you painted yourself, which is a different kind of seasonal decor from anything you pick off a shelf.

For anyone who has not tried paint by numbers before, Halloween is a low-pressure entry point. The darker colour palettes typical of Halloween designs (deep blacks, midnight blues, burnt oranges) are more forgiving of small brush inconsistencies than bright, high-contrast subjects. Our guide to the best paint by numbers for adults covers what makes a quality kit regardless of subject matter.

Halloween Paint by Numbers at Michaels and Hobby Lobby

Michaels and Hobby Lobby both carry seasonal paint by numbers kits, with Halloween designs typically appearing in stores from September onward. The in-store Halloween range is limited to whatever is on the shelf at any given time: a small rotating selection of lower colour count kits without size or framing choice. Availability varies by location and sells through quickly as October approaches.

If you need a Halloween kit today, an in-store option is the only one that works on that timeline. If you have a week or more before you want to start painting, ordering online gives you a better canvas, a confirmed size, framing options, and the buy 2 get 1 free offer. Our full Hobby Lobby vs Michaels comparison covers the general in-store vs online trade-offs in detail.

Custom Halloween Paint by Numbers

A custom Halloween paint by numbers kit converts any photo into a numbered canvas. The Halloween angle here is the subject you choose: a pet in a costume, a family Halloween photo, a favourite spooky scene you photographed, or any image with seasonal relevance. The process is the same as any custom kit: you upload a photo, an artist converts it to a numbered canvas design, and it ships to your address with the full paint set included.

Custom Halloween kits start from $34.99 USD. Because the artist design step adds 2 to 3 business days before shipping, factor this in if you have a specific date you want the canvas by. Order at least 12 to 14 days before you want to start painting to be safe. Our photo selection guide covers what makes a good upload for a custom kit.
