Solving the big jigsaw puzzles has become kind of family tradition with kids during winter break. Me and my kids LOVE solving puzzles, so our Santa always leaves a puzzle box under Christmas tree every year. Earlier, after solving, the pieces would normally go back to the box. I hated putting them back in the box but I couldn't leave them as is Either. For the past couple of years, I have been using puzzles as art :). Yes!! its a great way to add a wove factor on cheap.
Materials:
-- Foam core sheet
-- Solved Jigsaw Puzzle
-- Modge Podge Matte finish
-- Foam brush
-- Solve the puzzle ( yes, its is a pre-req :) )


-- Cut the foam core sheet little larger than the actual puzzle


-- Spread the modge podge on the foam core using the foam brush


-- Transfer the puzzle onto the foam board and press it gently, so that it adheres. Flip it to carefully after few minutes see if there are any loose pieces. Fix the loose puzzle pieces with little modge podge.


-- If you want, spread a thin layer of modge podge on the top too. Though it looks milky, dries up clear.
Hang it up. To hang it up, I hot glued a thick string at the back.
