Christmas Wreath Puzzle Piece Christmas Ornament

Today’s post is actually inspired by a piece I found in my Christmas decor stash last week and it’s from 2014.

My son actually made this very puzzle piece craft in preschool a few years back. Naturally, I loved it so much that I had to save it and then I thought “Hey – I need to share this idea with my readers too!” Cause clearly – it has held up AND it’s a personal keepsake that I know I will be adding to our tree, year after year!

So BAM! That’s how today’s Puzzle Piece Christmas Wreath Ornament post was born! A huge thank you to my son’s past teacher for the inspiration in the first place! She’s the real MVP today!!!

If you are ready to give this crafty idea a chance, find the full step-by-step tutorial below and as always – happy crafting, my dear friends! Please don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your child’s finished puzzle piece Christmas ornament and share them with us on Facebook! I can’t wait to see what they design! #gluedtomycrafts
