Jigsaw puzzles pieces as embellishment

Puzzle pieces make playful embellishments and borders. Puzzle pieces give a creative and playful look to children's art and educational scrapbooks, but can be used with great effect in many different themes.

Since the bottom of the puzzle pieces is flat, gluing and placing puzzle pieces is simple. Be aware, however, that puzzle pieces are generally not lignin free and acid free. Keep them well away from your photos, or spray them with protective spray before using.

Puzzle pieces can also look very effective if painted before use. Use acrylic paints in colors that contract or blend with your other page elements, and make sure they dry thoroughly before sticking!
