Make a puzzle

Photo puzzle blocks are easy to make. It’s simply a matter of cutting wood into cubes and gluing on pictures. Use pictures from old, damaged books or print an image from your computer. You can cover all sides of the blocks with different images, or leave a couple of sides bare. Our blocks measure 450mm x 450mm each.

1. Choose images that are about the same size as your finished block puzzle (or reshape images on your computer), then print onto semi-gloss photo paper and allow to dry. When dry, trim to the same size as your puzzle when it’s put together. 
2. Position the blocks and place a rubber band around them to hold in place. Apply glue to the blocks (we used a spray adhesive) then place the image on top and press down. Let the glue dry completely, then use a craft knife to cut the blocks apart.
3. Scramble the blocks, then remake your puzzle!
