Puzzle Piece Frames

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Every class has a puzzle or two with missing pieces, don't trash them, use them for art. Great for framing a picture or self-portrait, this frame idea really comes together. Learners use old puzzle pieces to decorate a picture frame. Tip: If you're short on puzzles, take a trip to the thrift store and pick one up for a few pennies.
