2. DIY with an Old Puzzle

What you need:

• Old puzzle (one you don’t want)
• A nice photo
• Glue (like Mod Podge)
• Paint brush
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Glue all the puzzle parts together
2. Let it dry
3. Cut your photo to fit the puzzle
4. Glue the photo on top
5. Let it dry again
6. Cut along the puzzle lines

This is cheap but takes time. The pieces might not cut clean.

3. Make a Wood Puzzle

What you need:

• Thin wood
• Photo
• Saw (a small one)

This is hard! You need tools and skill. But wood puzzles last a long time and feel nice.

4. Make a Card Puzzle

What you need:

• Thick paper or card
• Photo
• Knife or scissors
• Glue
• Clear tape

This is easier than wood but still takes time. Card puzzles can bend or tear if not made well.

Some apps and websites let you make puzzles on your phone or computer. You can play with them on the screen! Some let you print them at home too.

Picking the Best Photo

Not all photos make good puzzles! Here’s what to look for:

How Many Pieces?
