What is a busted canvas?
Similar to my go-to reverse canvas craft, a busted canvas uses a stretched canvas – available at most dollar stores and craft stores.

After painting or embellishing the front of the canvas, you flip it over and cut a few slits into the canvas. Then you can peel back the canvas sections to create a little peek-a-boo frame and add in image behind the canvas.
Here are a few ideas to get you started!

What makes busted canvas crafts so appealing?
The decorating possibilities are just about endless when making a busted canvas. You can embellish with paint, wallpaper, contact paper, or mod podge and any decorative paper you like (think scrapbook paper, gift wrap, and more).
This is also a great way to use free printables. Use those images to feature in the center of your busted canvas.
