<\/a><\/p>\n The largest gift exchanging holiday<\/a> is just days away, and no one is more excited about it than our kiddos. They are expecting presents for being \u201cnice\u201d rather than naughty. And like most parents and guardians, I\u2019m busy donating or reorganizing their current stashes to avoid becoming overtaken in toys. After some negotiations, we give some toys and books in good condition to local shelters and charities. Broken parts and lonely puzzle pieces get tossed into my craft box for future projects.<\/p>\n Although almost any sturdy puzzle piece will work for this project, I\u2019m sharing with you how I turned spare foam puzzle pieces into an ornament and a picture frame. It\u2019s an inexpensive way to add a personal touch to your store-bought gifts and\/or a thoughtful way to show someone you care. This is so easy the kids can get it on the decorating fun, too. Don\u2019t worry that the big day is almost here:\u00a0handmade crafts<\/a> never go out of style and can be given any time of the year.<\/p>\n Supplies For These Holiday Craft Ideas: Leftover puzzle pieces, unwanted holiday cards or scrap paper, glue, scissors, a ruler and embellishments<\/p>\n 1. Choose a clean puzzle piece<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 2. Pick out your paper. I used past years\u2019 greeting cards, as they are one of the most wasted items of the holiday season<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3. Place your puzzle piece on the reverse side of the paper and trace an outline. Cut out your shape. Helpful Tip<\/i>: Another option for this step is gluing your paper to the upside of the puzzle piece, then cutting it out.<\/p>\n 4. Adhere your paper to the puzzle piece. I used spray adhesive since my pieces were foam. If you have cardboard pieces, hot glue or liquid glue will work just fine.<\/p>\n7 Steps to Make a Unique Gift for Family and Friends<\/h3>\n
