If you have any puzzles that are missing pieces, they can be turned into great ornaments!
The possibilities with decorating these puzzlepieces are endless. Just think of them as a scrapbook project. You could cover them with pictures, fabric, yarn, glitter but you can also just paint them or glue things like rhinestones, feather or buttons onto them.
I may be sending these to my friends as christmascards and write a nice sentiment onto it.
