First Idea for Shoeboxes

Ok these are super easy to make.

 

You will need:

the Large size craft sticks

craft glue

paint brush

pictures for the puzzle

some thing to cut them apart I use an old blade in my rotary cutter, you could use an exacto knife (I would probably cut myself).

 

I print out pictures from the internet.
I just Google and click on the image search option.

 

I print the pictures on white card stock, you could use old greeting cards or even pictures from magazines.

Once you have the picture I do several at a time.

 

Take your craft glue and water it down you want this pretty thin. I keep mine in a Styrofoam bowl and then if I have any left slide it in a zip close plastic bag for later.

 

You will "paint" the back of the picture and place the craft sticks across the back of the picture. These will dry pretty fast.

 

I so several at a time, usually 8-10. Once I have "painted" and placed the sticks. I place them to the side. As soon as I get finished with the last one I go to the first one and cut it apart. Then I place them in a plastic baggie.

 

You may think these are simple to do but depending on the picture they can be pretty tough. I found a pictures of an wall board with animals. I did these for older boys. This one is pretty tough.
