The second life of puzzles

Mama.md suggests you a few original ideas on how to use puzzles in an unusual way. We are sure that the manufacturers had no idea that such small fragments are suitable for making something else.

1. A picture

If you spent more than an hour on doing your puzzle, finished it and no longer would like to repeat this feat, you can make a picture of it. To do this, wrap the masterpiece with adhesive tape and put it in a frame. This decorative piece will be perfect to hang on the wall in the children's room.

2. A cup coaster

To make a cup coaster you can use either a finished puzzle or separate pieces joined together by colour. Using some glue, stick all pieces together in squares, 10*10 cm each. Coaster edges will be uneven, as in a puzzle, or, if you like, you can make a smooth cut along the perimeter.

3. A photo frame

But you can go further in your creativity and use puzzle pieces to make a photo frame. First, decide on the size and shape of the item, then think about the color. To make the frame bright, apply glue on the underside of each piece, so that after sticking it in, the front side was visible. If you want to obtain a dimmed colour, apply the glue to the front side of each piece and glue it so that the underside looks outward. Put a photo in the frame and bring joy to your loved ones with such a creative gift.
