Love Mom and Dad to Pieces with a Fun Craft!

Turn Puzzles Into Fun Gifts

If you have a few extra puzzles laying around, here’s a great way to upcycle some of them into nifty and gifty artwork. Moms, dads, grads, and other folks you’re celebrating this spring and summer will appreciate a frame with a photo of you in it!

What you need:

• Puzzle pieces
• Paint
• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Index card
• Ruler
• Tape
• Magnets

What you do:

1. Spread puzzle pieces out on newspaper and paint them (or not, it’s up to you!).
2. On a large piece of cardboard, trace an index card to create a picture opening.
3. Working from that rectangle, use a ruler to trace for the outside part of the frame. 
4. Cut along the lines to make a frame.
5. Glue puzzle pieces onto cardboard.
6. Tape picture on the back of the frame.
7. Put magnets on the back of the frame.
