INSIDE: Use thrift store puzzle pieces to make a festive Christmas wreath. Spray paint old puzzle pieces for Christmas door wreath.
My sister is a “thrifter”. So much so that she’s started a reselling business from goods she finds during her weekly rotation of thrift stores.
When she found out I was on the hunt for inexpensive puzzles for a crafting project, she eagerly tagged along.
An hour later, she left with a box of randoms and me with two sets of puzzles. Check out how I turned this thrift store find into a festive holiday puzzle pieces wreath…

How to Make a Christmas Wreath from Puzzle Pieces
In addition to these previously loved puzzle pieces I picked up, I also had a baggie of leftover puzzle pieces from having created the Puzzle Pieces Snowflake Wreath. Combining these pieces together, I had a puzzling situation ahead of me!
Supplies:
– Wire wreath form or flat wreath form
– White spray paint + primer
– Craft glue
– Red spray paint
– Green spray paint
– Decorative holiday ribbon (I used a red and white candy cane stripe ribbon)
How to Make Christmas Wreath with Old Puzzles
Give the puzzle pieces a coat of white spray paint + primer to cover up their original graphics.
Once dry, give them another coat of paint in whatever colors you select for your wreath.
I reused a wire wreath from a previous project. I covered it with ribbon first to make the gluing easier. If using a flat wreath form, you may want to give it a spray of paint first to cover the wood.
Glue and arrange the puzzle pieces onto the wreath form. I added a base layer then filled in any gaps with additional puzzle pieces, varying the colors as I went along.
Leave a small section free from puzzle pieces. It will make attaching a ribbon much easier!
Tie your ribbon and attach to the wreath form. Hang and admire your festive holiday puzzle pieces wreath decor!

Fun idea! Thanks for joining the To Grandma’s House We Go link party! Your post has been pinned!
I really admire your patience in making this wreath, but I love the idea. This is the perfect project to use those puzzles my kids have discarded because they have missing pieces. Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party. Pinned!
It looks great! I love making things with puzzle pieces. Last year I made puzzle snowflakes and added magnets to them. They made great little gifts for everyone.
I do love a good upcycle and I’m sure we have a few puzzles knocking around that don’t have all their pieces any more. This is a perfect way to use them 🙂
