Here's how to make a Puzzle Piece Heart:
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies.

Basecoat 25 puzzle pieces Snow White, 25 Santa Red, 25 Peony Pink, and 25 Baby Pink. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. Freezer Paper or Newspaper makes a great, inexpensive cover for your work surface.

STEP TWO
Download, print, and cut out the Puzzle Piece Heart Wreath Pattern BELOW ⇓ Trace onto chipboard, cut outside with scissors and inside with craft knife on a self-healing mat.
STEP THREE
Randomly attach painted puzzle pieces to heart wreath base in a single layer with the glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP FOUR
Apply a second layer of puzzle pieces over top of the first layer. Mix and match the colors and shapes to create an organic pattern.

STEP FIVE
Measure and cut a rectangle of white cardstock one-inch long and eleven inches wide. Find the center and hand letter the message “Love You To Pieces” in pencil and then in red marker. Cut a fishtail at each end of the cardstock with scissors.

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.

STEP SIX
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.

This is a fun activity to create with your tweens and teens!

Your heart craft is so cute and whimsical. The ‘love you to pieces’ is the perfect addition. I’m visiting from Artsy Fartsy Mama. If interested, I shared abstract art gift bags #29. Have a nice weekend!
Thanks Allyson! It’s a great way to upcycle those old puzzles instead of throwing them away! Your gift bags caught my eye immediately!
What a fun wreath, love the colours too.
Thanks, Claire! It was super quick and easy!
Such a cute project. I am helping plan a valentine’s party for my daughter’s class and this will be a perfect project for her class. Thank you for the share.
Thanks! And YES totally doable with a class. Just use the back of the puzzle pieces so the paint dries more quickly and regular white glue then set aside to dry! <3
not able to print the heart patten ?a
All fixed Anita! Thanks for letting me know!
