Puzzle Heart
Valentine's Day Craft Share a piece of your heart with this clever homemade Valentine. A perfect use for old puzzles and a great project idea for classrooms and scout troops!  Materials Puzzle pieces Red spray paint Poster board or cardstock paper Newspaper Glue Place old jigsaw puzzle pieces, excluding the straight-edged border pieces, on newspaper and spray-paint them red, pink or purple (brush-applied paint will also work). Let the pieces dry thoroughly before gluing them into a heart shape. It easier to glue the pieces onto white poster board cut into a heart shape. This provides a guideline to follow and makes the heart shape more durable. Glue the puzzle pieces randomly. Stack a few pieces for texture. Options: Small hearts can be made into lapel pins by attaching a pin backing with hot-glue...or you can add a ribbon for hanging on the wall or door or turn your heart into a magnet with self-sticking magnetic strip (craft store). If you have extra puzzle pieces make a puzzle pin. Valentine Craft Kits |
