Handmade Puzzle Wreath Picture Frame

If you’re like us, we have tons of random puzzle pieces all over. If you’re not, then go to your thrift shop and get a 100 piece puzzle for $1 or so. Either way, this is a fun and thrifty gift that the kids can make, and when you fill with a picture, the grandparents will love for years to come!

What You’ll Need:

• paint brush
• glue
• red pom poms
• red ribbon
• a small round picture frame (craft store or dollar store)
• puzzle pieces
• green craft paint
• newspaper or something else to protect your work surface

Directions:

1. Lay your puzzle pieces on the  protected surface, and paint one side of each of your puzzle pieces green. Allow the puzzle pieces to dry. Double check that they are painted well enough to be opaque. If not, then put on another layer and let dry.
2. Start gluing the puzzle pieces around the frame. Glue a single layer and allow that layer to dry completely before adding more layers.  Add more puzzle pieces until the frame is completely covered and green.
3. Once the puzzle pieces are dry, glue red pom poms around the frame, then tie a bow with red ribbon and glue it to the top of the frame to make it look like a wreath. Put chosen picture inside and gift. That’s it!
