This project is great for the kids too, getting to reuse an old puzzle to make a new craft is always exciting. The part for them will be waiting for the paint to dry, beyond that it’s very simple and a lot of fun.  You can paint your puzzle pieces any colour you’d like, we prefer sparkles…so that had to be included!

What do you need to make a Valentine’s Puzzle Heart?

• Puzzle pieces (use an old one!)
• Canvas (about 8×10)
• Spray paint (we used red, white and gold)
• Hot glue gun
• Heart stencil or paper heart
• Pencil

To create this master-puzzle-piece, start by spraying your pieces with the spray paint.  Be sure to place your pieces picture side down, the spray paint will adhere better the cardboard side.  Lay them all flat, one or two coats is all that’s needed.  Spray according to the instructions on the can and be sure the paint has dried completely between coats.

While the puzzle pieces are drying, spray your canvas.  You can have a white background of course, but a pop of colour is always nice. Allow it to dry completely.

How to Make an Easy DIY Valentine’s Puzzle Heart

Once the canvas is dry, use a stencil or pre-cut heart to lightly trace a heart shape onto the canvas. Then you can add the puzzle pieces to the canvas. Finally, use the hot glue gun to secure them in place (if working with young children you can use an all purpose glue). Lastly, try not to have any of the “edges” facing out, you want to have the classic puzzle piece shape to your design.  

Hang this fun DIY Valentine’s decoration on the wall or place it on a shelf, mantel or window sill.  If you’re looking for more Valentine’s Day ideas, certainly check out our Brownies in a Bottle. Happy Crafting!

What You’ll Need:

• White cotton fabric at least 11” x 17”
• Iron on letters in two fonts
• Patterned fabric
• Small wooden or felt heart
• 11” x 17” frame
• Iron
• Double sided tape
• Glue
• Iron on fabric adhesive or fabric glue
• Paint brush
• Paint

Cut out all the letters that you’ll need to spell out Home, Is, Where, and Is in one font and Dad in the other font. Lay the letters out on the white cotton for spacing before you start ironing them in place.

When you are happy with the placement, follow the instructions of the iron on letters you bought. Most will ask you to cover the letters with a thin cloth and hold the iron on them for a few seconds. Iron on the letters one row at a time until the verse is complete.

Cut out a simplified map of Canada. You can print an online map to trace onto the fabric if you like, or free hand it. Don’t worry about following all the bumps and curves of the coastlines and don’t worry about cutting all the islands out. Large simple shapes work best for this design.

If you are using transfer paper, follow the instructions on the package. Use your iron to attach a large piece of transfer paper to the patterned map and then cut away the excess paper. If you are using fabric glue then use it now to attach the map to the art.

Almost done your DIY Father’s Day Art Frame!

Use the double-sided tape on the back board of your frame to attach the map piece.

Paint the wooden heart in the colour of your choice (we used yellow). Let dry. Glue the heart onto the map, place it in on the map where you Dad lives.
