Materials Needed:

• Jigsaw puzzle pieces (You can use a pre-made puzzle or create your own by cutting cardboard or thick paper into puzzle-shaped pieces)
• Red, white, and pink colored paper or paint
• Scissors (if you're cutting your own puzzle pieces)
• Glue or double-sided tape
• A large piece of cardboard, poster board, or canvas as your base
• Marker or paint for the "Love You to Pieces" message
• Optional: Glitter, stickers, or embellishments for decoration

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Puzzle Pieces:

• Option 1: If you have an old jigsaw puzzle lying around, you can use the pieces as-is. If the puzzle is large enough, you might only need part of it, depending on the size of your heart.
• Option 2: If you don’t have a jigsaw puzzle, you can create your own puzzle pieces by cutting a cardboard or heavy paper into puzzle shapes. A basic heart-shaped outline is a good starting point for arranging the pieces.

2. Paint or Color the Pieces:

• If you’re using blank puzzle pieces (like cardboard), you can paint them in red, white, and pink. Alternatively, you can cut colored paper into small pieces and glue them onto the puzzle pieces.
• Make sure to let any paint dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

3. Design the Heart Shape:

• On your base (cardboard, poster board, or canvas), lightly sketch the outline of a heart using a pencil. This will help you arrange your puzzle pieces within the heart shape.
• Start placing the puzzle pieces inside the heart, fitting them together like a puzzle. Arrange them so that the pieces form a neat heart shape. You can mix and match the colors to make it look more colorful and dynamic.

4. Glue the Pieces:

• Once you’re happy with the layout of your puzzle pieces, glue them down one by one. Use a small amount of glue on the back of each piece and press it firmly onto the base. Be sure to leave some space between pieces if you want a more jigsaw-like effect, or glue them closer together for a more cohesive look.

5. Add the Message:

• Once the puzzle pieces are glued down and dry, write the phrase "Love You to Pieces" either directly on the base or around the heart using a marker or paint.
• You can also add additional decorative elements like glitter, stickers, or other embellishments to make the design more festive.
