Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Puzzle Pieces

puzzle via mus

Inevitably, our children outgrow them, or the more likely scenario, lose a few pieces. Puzzles. What do we do with them when they find their way into the bin of misfit toys?  Here's a few ideas that I can't wait to try...

Charlie Harper Christmas Ornaments via creature comforts (oh, how great would these look as name tags on gifts?)

cover in chalkboard paint and add a magnet for fun notes via amazon (*note, these aren't actually chalkboards or magnets, but wouldn't that be fab?)

love letters via of love and military

party center pieces via ruffled

my favorite use... magnets via mus

Seriously? What fridge wouldn't look great with some super awesome vintage cars holding important messages and photos? Not a single one! Love, love, love. Thrift stores beware - I'm on the hunt!

Do you have any of your old childhood puzzles? xo
