Puzzle Piece Wreath For Any Holiday

Old puzzles
Cardboard (how big depends on how big you want your wreath)
White glue
Green spray paint
Glitter (optional)
Red pom-poms(again size depends on you, small wreath-small pom-poms)
Ribbon
Hot glue gun (optional)
Tab from a pop can(optional)

From the cardboard, cut a circle the size of the wreath you want. Cut a smaller circle
out of the middle.

Glue the puzzles pieces onto the circle, layering them. I do 3 layers.

Spray paint the whole piece. While it's still tacky, you can add glitter.

When it's dry glue on your pom-poms and ribbon that's been tied in a bow. If you like,
you can hot glue the pop can tab to the back for a hanger.

For other holidays... Easter, spray paint white or pastel, add small
decorations. Halloween, paint black or orange. Thanksgiving, paint yellow or brown.
