INSTRUCTIONS:

For the Puzzle Tray:

Glue the plexiglass into the back of the frame either using double sided sticky tape or glue. Add a piece of neutral colored paper for your background. Add a piece of scrap cardboard cut to fit inside the back of the frame and lay that over your background paper. Put the back on the frame.

For The Puzzles:

Open a portrait sheet in your print program.
Import the Easy Puzzle Template.
Import your chosen background and graphics.
Add text to suit your needs.
Layer your design so the Easy Puzzle Template is on top of your pictures and words.
Print the cardstock on your printer's highest setting.
Laminate each puzzle card.
Cut the lines to create the puzzle pieces.


Repeat as needed for as many easy puzzles you wish to make. Rotate your template to get different configurations for each puzzle.

I recommend you give each puzzle a different colored border to easily recognize which puzzle pieces go together.
