Puzzle Pieces
HEART HANGER
Created by Ms. Brenda


Materials needed:
  • 22 pieces of an old jigsaw puzzle
  • Red acrylic paint
  • Tacky glue
  • Modge Podge glue & sealer, glossy finish 
  • Sequins, red and gold
  • Small pearl beads
  • Ribbon for bow
  • Paintbrush
  • Fishing line
Instructions:

1.  Paint the jigsaw puzzle pieces red and let them dry.  Painting both sides is optional.  If you want to hang the heart in a window, it would be best to paint both sides.

2.  Lay them out in a heart shape.  When laying out the shape, place one piece under the next overlapping the top piece each time.

3.  With tacky glue, glue the pieces to one another and let dry.

4.  After the heart has dried, put a coat of Modge Podge all over it and let dry.  This will make the heart very shiny.

5.  Glue sequins and pearls all around to decorate.  Let them dry thoroughly.

6.  Tie on a bow with ribbon as shown in the sample.

7.  Fishing line is tied on in order to hang the heart.
