Heart Rhinestone Art

Create this rhinestone art piece using small 4inch by 4 inch canvases and rhinestones. It is so easy to make this using a hot glue gun and a heart tracer.
First you will need a pack of 4 small canvases. I purchased my set from a thrift store for only 75 cents! These can be found at Michaels in black or white.

Next, I printed out a heart shape. I found one that fit on the canvas. Then, I traced the heart onto the canvas with a pencil.


Use any heart shape you would like that fits the canvas
Use your hot glue gun to attach rhinestones. I used rhinestones of various sizes in this project. Some rhinestones were glue on top of others to fill in all the black spaces within the heart.

For the other canvases I used different colored rhinestones. I chose this project because I had a surplus of rhinestones in my craft supplies. You can certainly choose to use any color of rhinestone you would like.



Continue hot gluing to create each different canvas
When I completed all for canvas hearts, I hot glued large popsicle sticks to the back of the canvases to secure them together.

Then, I cut a piece of black cardstock to glue to the back. I think this created a clean look.

To create a finished look, I hot glued some ribbon over the seams in between the canvases.



Add ribbon to finish the look.
I displayed this finished piece on a plate stand. However, you could certainly add string or ribbon the the back to hang on the wall.
