Rudolph Puzzle Piece Pin

contributed by:  Grannana from North Carolina

"This would make a fine gift for a teacher, grandma, aunt, mom etc.  I saw this cute puzzle Ruloph when one of my co-workers had it on, it was darling.  And so easy to make.  Just wish this website was around when I had my children years ago, and boring days could have been Fun Daze."

Materials:

• You need 3 old puzzle pieces.(2 small & 1 medium size -- you can get these from the same puzzle, just pick through to find smaller and bigger pieces or you can get the medium sized one from a child's puzzle and the 2 small from an adult's puzzle).
• 1 bottle of brown paint (we always use tempra paint as my daughter is young, but you can use acrylic paint).
• 2 small wiggly eyes.
• 1 piece of red & green felt.
• craft pin.
• one glue gun.
• one small bell (optional).

Instructions:

• First paint the puzzle pieces brown and Let dry.
• Once dry, take the small puzzle pieces and glue them to the larger one in the corners only.
• Attach the wiggly eyes.
• Cut out a small red circle for the nose and glue. (or use a small red pom pom instead).
• In the corner of one of Rudolph's antler make a small holly leaf from red and green felt.
• On the reverse of medium size puzzle piece, attach the craft pin.
