Don’t discard a puzzle with missing pieces. Rather use it as a colourful trim to cheer-up dull picture frames, or even to give scatter cushions a funky edge.
What you’ll need:
• Puzzle pieces
• A scatter cushion
• Clear all-purpose glue or a tag gun – we bought our tag gun at a Chinese store, along with tags and an extra needle, for R138. Also stocked at leading stationery shops.
How to:
You can either rebuild the puzzle piece by piece (without the missing pieces, of course) on the cushion, or create your own random pattern.
Glue the pieces onto the cushion one at a time, or use a tag gun to tag them onto the cushion.(Simply press the tag gun needle through the centre of each puzzle piece, then through the fabric of the cushion, and pull the trigger.)
If you are tagging rather than gluing, you’ll find that the pieces won’t stay firmly in place, resulting in a fun, dynamic design.
