16 Ingenious Ways To Reuse Puzzle Pieces (Don’t Throw Them Away!)

16-ways-reuse-puzzle-pieces-recycle-diy

Before you throw  away that puzzle that has one piece missing (or more) consider using those pieces for  one of these ingenious ideas.

But first, let me tell you what us kids made a couple of years ago for our grandpa for Father’s Day. We each had a pile of puzzle pieces and we also each picked out a different color of paint. We painted our puzzle pieces in our preferred color. Then we combined all of the pieces and made a picture frame with them. We included a collage picture of us with our grandpa (made online at the Walmart site) and gave it the title the top of the collage that said “We Love You To Pieces.” I didn’t get a picture of it at the time, but you get an idea. Perhaps when I am at my grandparents house again, I will take a picture for you. 🙂
