Hi everyone ~

Almost everyone either has or can readily get one of those big 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces missing. Grab one of those and paint in three shades of green.

Loosely divide up the pieces into three piles and paint the pieces of each pile in one of the various shades of green, both sides.

While the pieces are drying, get several sheets of thin cardboard, such as a cereal box, gift box, or the sheets inside of shirts. Draw a circle the size you want the outer rim of the wreath to be and a second circle within that one, so you have a ring. Cut out.

Next, glue the dried pieces of the puzzle around the ring, varying the shades of green, some stacked higher than others. When the glue is dry, add red beads and ribbon.

If you make these ornament size, you can fit a wallet size photo in the center. Or make it bigger for a larger photo or leave empty. This is a great project for kids to help make and a nice way for them to give away their school photos.
