The Flower of Life - Ready to Paint and Rhinestone Canvas
Design by Emelie Molinder
Before language. Before borders. Before any of it. There was this.
The Flower of Life is one of the oldest and most universally recognized sacred geometry symbols on earth — nineteen interlocking circles woven into a pattern of such perfect, infinite symmetry that it has been found carved into ancient temples in Egypt, India, China, and Greece, independently, across thousands of years of human history. Every culture that has ever looked up at the stars and wondered has arrived, eventually, at this pattern. It is the blueprint of creation itself. And it is waiting for your stones.
As a rhinestone project, The Flower of Life is in a category entirely its own. The repeating petal-shaped sections created by the overlapping circles offer one of the most meditative, deeply satisfying placement experiences in the entire collection — each section identical, each one building the larger pattern with quiet, almost hypnotic momentum. There is no rush here. No deadline. Just the rhythm of stone after stone, circle within circle, the pattern growing more luminous and alive with every pass.
Want to make it fully your own? Reach for acrylic paint pens before you rhinestone — fill alternating petals in complementary colors, create a gradient that moves from the center outward, or leave it pure white and let the rhinestones tell the whole story. The canvas is built for it.
The Flower of Life doesn't just hang on a wall. It reminds you that you have always been part of something infinite.

FAQs
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.
