Metamorphosis - Ready to Rhinestone 16 x 12 Grid Fill Canvas
A butterfly caught mid-transformation, wings unfurled in bold black, dark grey, medium grey, and white against a striking pink bloom — every swirl and curve mapped with precision. Every stone falls on a grid fill pattern using ss10 rhinestones, dot by dot, for clean, confident placement from the very first stone.
The grid is your guide, not your rulebook. Follow it in the original grayscale for that bold, graphic finish — or bring your own palette and let the same structure carry an entirely different mood. The placement stays precise either way; the color is yours to choose.
This piece was made for makers drawn to intricate linework and high contrast — the kind of design where every swirl earns its place. Once finished, Metamorphosis becomes a striking, statement-making centerpiece — ornate, bold, and full of movement.
Create it for the space that needs a little more drama. Gift it to the artist who's mid-transformation themselves. Make something that says change doesn't have to be quiet — sometimes it unfurls its wings and takes up all the room it needs.
Some things are made to be noticed. This one earns every glance, one rhinestone at a time.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Your rhinestone canvas is a handcrafted art piece — treat it with a little love and it’ll keep sparkling for years.
To Clean:
- Gently dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth
- For fingerprints, lightly wipe with a barely-damp microfiber cloth
- Let air dry completely
Please Avoid:
- Harsh household cleaners
- Alcohol, acetone, nail polish remover
- Glass cleaner, disinfectant sprays, or chemical wipes
- Scrubbing, soaking, or running water directly on the canvas
Placement Tips:
- Display away from moisture, steam, and direct heat
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to preserve clarity and shine
- Handle by the edges when possible
Why this matters:
Harsh chemicals and solvents can dull the crystals, weaken the adhesive bond, and damage the printed canvas over time. Gentle care = long-lasting sparkle.
Which Glues Can I Use?
Which Glues Can I Use?
Since our canvases are made from a cotton/poly blend, we recommend using an adhesive that's clear in the bottle and suited to woven fabric surfaces, such as Liquid Fusion or Aleene's The Ultimate — both bond well to cotton/poly and cure clear and flexible. Avoid glues that appear white in the bottle, even if the label claims they dry clear — a white formula can obscure the canvas details underneath and make it harder to place your stones accurately. A clear-in-the-bottle glue lets you see exactly what you're doing as you work.
Can I paint My Canvas?
Can I paint My Canvas?
Absolutely — any part of your canvas can be painted. Just make sure to allow your paint to fully cure before applying rhinestones — not just surface-dry. Acrylic paint typically feels dry to the touch within 30 minutes to an hour, but full curing (where the paint has completely hardened and stopped offgassing) usually takes 24–72 hours, depending on paint thickness and humidity. For best adhesion, we recommend waiting at least 48 hours before placing your stones.
We recommend avoiding watercolor paint on any areas you plan to rhinestone. Watercolor stays water-reactive even after it dries, so it can reactivate and break down the adhesive bond over time. Acrylic paint is the better choice for areas that will be covered in stones.

What Skill Level Do I Need?
What Skill Level Do I Need?
There's no right or wrong way to complete a Glass House canvas. Our designs are meant to inspire creativity, not restrict it — so if a section is printed light blue, that doesn't mean you're locked into a light blue stone. Feel free to swap in a dark blue, a totally different color, or whatever feels right to you as you go.
Some spaces on the canvas are trickier to navigate than others, and that's intentional — they're there to help you grow as an artist, not to intimidate you. Our advice: dry fit before you commit. Lay your stones in place without gluing first, so you can see how they'll look and find the best way to fill the space before making it permanent. There's no need to rush or feel anxious about getting it "right" on the first try.
And remember, not every space needs 100% rhinestone coverage. Leave areas open, blend colors, follow the guide loosely or closely — however you want to approach it, the canvas is yours to make your own.
