Steps
-
Take the photo you want to turn into a puzzle and enlarge it to the desired size. I recommend an A4 or an A3.You can enlarge it with a normal photocopier or go to a copy shop for better prints, for example on photographic paper.
-
Take a piece of construction paper (colored paper) the size of the photo.
-
Use acid-free glue and glue the photo to the cardstock. Make sure you secure it well, from corner to corner.Using a cutter, align the edges
-
Let the glue dry completely.
-
Cut out shapes with the cutter or an X-Acto cutter. You may find it helpful to use a pencil to trace shapes on the back of the puzzle before you start cutting.Or you can create freehand shapes typical of commercially available puzzles.
-
Mix up the puzzle pieces and give them to a friend.Advertising
Advice
- Be careful when cutting the cardboard not to damage the surface underneath.To protect the surface, place a cutting board, or an old magazine under the cardboard.
- Use a photo glue or stick, preferably acid-free.
- Homemade puzzle pieces are a great addition to collage.
- Use a cutter, not scissors, to cut out the puzzle shapes.
