#15 - Puzzle Piece Mini Album
I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend...today I have a mini album to share with you that I made out of those giant floor puzzles.
This piece is approx. 5-6" across but the actual pages inside are about 3 1/2" square which is tucked in the upper left corner of the puzzle piece.
To make this book you will need 2 pieces of the puzzle that are exactly the same. I have found that there are usually there are 4-5 of each shape in one of those floor puzzles so it shouldn't be any trouble.
I used ribbon as the closure but you can use whatever you have on hand...string; fiber; torn strip of fabric...it's a very versatile design.
The best thing about using the puzzle pieces is they are so easy to alter. They take paints; ink and other mediums very well. I have used alcohol inks, gesso, crackle paints, and so much more!
Extra Idea!
If you're giving an album like this as a gift,
consider assembling a small section of a regular sized puzzle,
decorate it in the same fashion for the tag!
Take care and have a wonderful Saturday everyone!!
Love this!!

What a clever idea...who would have thought of this?! (besides you of course). I don't have any of those large puzzle pieces, but I do have mat-board that I can cut to shape!
