Jigsaw Puzzle Valentine Wreath Made With Puzzle Pieces

 What to do with all those jigsaw puzzles you are finished with? 

Well, for one thing you can make a really sweet Valentine wreath!

I saw this on Pinterest and wanted to make one, too.


One of the best things is that there is practically no cost for this wreath.

I had all the puzzle pieces I could want in all sizes as I was on a jigsaw puzzle craze last summer.

I had the different colors of spray paint, too. For the first wreath I painted each puzzle piece by hand

with craft paint and it was tedious!

Then some of the family wanted to make them also so I decided that I would try spray painting the 

puzzle pieces and found that I had all the colors, red, light pink, white and hot pink.

I put the pieces in or on boxes and took them outside and sprayed them. It took 2 minutes and

they are also much shinier and nice than the craft paint ones.




I didn't have a good picture of the red pieces but I did red ones also. I painted about 100 of each color.

It takes 25 pieces for each color to make one wreath and I wanted to be able to make 4 of them.

I taped 2 pieces of white printer paper together and made a heart shape. Then I used it as

a pattern to cut out the cardboard heart.



I just started hot gluing the pieces onto the cardboard heart shape and tried to alternate colors.


Here is the size of the heart if you want reference.


I tried to cover up all the cardboard..


I might even make a small heart wreath with the inside of the cardboard heart...




Then I printed out the sign on PicMonkey and glued that on, too.

Now it's on my mantel ..

I made a cute heart garland this year also.

I also did some paper roses and made a little heart with them on a small canvas from the Dollar Tree.

A few years ago I was on a paper rose making craze so I had a whole drawer full of these paper roses.

I made 2 of these in no time flat!




These are little paper hearts I made with treats in them.


Lots of Last Minute Valentine's Day Ideas!


Hope you get some inspiration to make some fun things for Valentine's Day!
