I got this idea from a friend who had this canvas, so I decided to make one myself! I bought a Canvas at Hobby Lobby (40% off) painted it gold. I laid down the leopard print tissue paper and then Mod Podged over it. (I folded the tissue paper in half so it was like having two sheets) I then created a heart out of texture. Once that was dry I painted the cross red and glazed the canvas with black. I painted a key hole in the middle and a design below the heart.

I've had this piece for almost 12 years now, I bought an old window pane & sanded it to make the wood look distressed. You can turn any old window pane into rustic art work! Apply screws in each window pane & then hang whatever arrangement you can think of. Make it your own!

Crosses
This cross was made from 3 wooden crosses I bought in Canton TX on trade days. The first one I painted black, the second white and then I painted zebra stripes throughout the cross. The 3rd cross is painted Orange and glazed with black. I bought the wood letters at Hobby Lobby and painted them black. Remember to apply fasteners to the back of the cross so you can mount it on the wall. I first nailed the white cross to the black cross and then I nailed the orange cross to the white cross. I hot-glued the letters on the orange cross, please make sure all crosses are dry before nailing them.
The square piece is a cabinet door I bought in Canton TX trade days, I painted it red & then I applied Black Valspar Glaze paint. I bought some leopard print paper at a local craft store and glued it to the cabinet. I then painted a small cross brown & glazed it black. Once it was dry I then nailed the brown cross to the cabinet. I bought the iron cross at Hobby Lobby (when it was 40% off of course). I glued it down using EZ300 glue I also bought at Hobby Lobby. I love that store! Make sure you let it dry for 48 hours before you mount it on the wall.
The square piece is picture frame, there was no glass when I bought it. I painted the frame a dark blue and then stenciled the corners with a design. I painted the cross pink and then distressed it with black glaze, I glued the cross to the frame using EZ300 glue. Then I glued the black cross I had bought at Hobby Lobby.
This was a wooden cross originally that I also purchased at Canton TX Trade Days. I asked my husband to help me with this project, he bended the corners so they would match perfectly with the cross. Wooden cross painted brown & then glazed black, 2nd cross painted turquoise & glazed black. I bought a metal cross at Hobby Lobby & some turquoise rock looking beads. I used EZ300 glue to apply the metal cross to the wooden cross, also used the glue to apply the rock turquoise beads to the silver cross. Lay flat for at least 48 hours before you hang.
Wooden cross painted red & glazed black, 2nd cross painted turquoise & glazed black. I bought a cross at Hobby Lobby (40% off)!
Here is another cabinet door I bought in Canton TX at Trade Days. I wanted to give you another idea how I design them.
At the corner of the turquoise cross there are studs nailed into it. I bought them at Lowes (Furniture Nails) they have a rounded top so they are decorative.
