Randomly attach painted puzzle pieces to heart wreath base in a single layer with the glue gun and glue sticks.

Fold the ends into a “Z” pattern and attach the banner to the center of the heart wreath with the glue gun and glue sticks.
Measure and cut a twelve-inch length of red and white baker’s twine and then glue to the back of the wreath to use as a hanger.
To finish, tie a bow with a second twelve-inch length of baker’s twine and attach to the wreath.
Make this Dollar Tree Puzzle Piece Heart Wreath in just about 30 minutes (not including drying time)! Hand letter your own personalized message or your family’s name to the paper banner.
