Repairing a Jigsaw puzzle

 

By Susan

Jigsaw puzzles are lots of fun

Ever been frustrated at discovering a missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle?

Well, I have.

So I decided to make a replacement piece. Here's how.

* Place a piece of white paper under the adjoining pieces and trace the shape of the missing piece.


* Cut the shape out and trace it onto a piece of cardboard of similar thickness.

(If available card not same thickness, join a few pieces together using glue or double-sided tape)


* Cut out the cardboard piece.

* Draw in the detail and use colour pencils or felt pens to match the puzzle picture.


* Cover with sticky-tape to seal the new piece.

* Hey presto! The puzzle is complete!
