But did you know that you can use old jigsaw puzzles to make your own DIY crafts? Here at Brain Tree Games, we love showing our customers how to make the most of their puzzles, and today we’re going to give you some ideas for DIY crafts you can make with your old jigsaw puzzles. Turning a Puzzle Into a Wall Art If you have a 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle, why not turn it into a beautiful wall art? Using Mod Podge, you can easily turn your puzzle into a wall art masterpiece. Start by laying out your puzzle on a flat surface, making sure it fits together tightly. Once you’re certain it’s the right size, use a brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the top of the puzzle. Make sure to cover the entire surface with an even coat. Now, flip the puzzle over and place it on a piece of cardstock or poster board. To ensure it sticks, use a rolling pin over the entire surface. Once the Mod Podge has dried, you can use a frame to hang your new wall art. Turning a Puzzle Into a Tabletop If you want to get creative, why not turn your puzzle into a tabletop? To do this, you’ll need to purchase a jigsaw puzzle table top kit. This kit includes everything you need to turn your puzzle into a tabletop. Start by laying out your puzzle pieces on the table top. Make sure they fit together tightly, and then use a rolling pin to press them down. Next, use the included adhesive to secure the pieces in place. Once the adhesive has dried, you can use a clear sealant to protect the tabletop. Now you have a unique and beautiful table top that you can use to display items or serve food. Turning a Puzzle Into a Clock Another fun DIY project you can do with your old jigsaw puzzles is to turn them into clocks. Start by laying out your puzzle pieces on a flat surface. Make sure they fit together tightly, and then use a brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the top of the puzzle. Make sure to cover the entire surface with an even coat. Once the Mod Podge has dried, you can attach the clock mechanism to the back of the puzzle. Now you have a unique and beautiful clock that you can hang in your home or office.
