Materials Needed:

– Puzzle pieces (preferably old or new)

– Paint (acrylic or spray paint)

– Paintbrushes or sponges (if using acrylic paint)

– Glitter (optional)

– Mod Podge or clear varnish (optional)

– Small decorative items (e.g., rhinestones, stickers) (optional)

– Newspaper or a drop cloth

– Small containers or trays for organizing

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. **Gather Your Puzzle Pieces**:

  – Collect puzzle pieces from an old or incomplete puzzle. Ensure they are clean and free of any dust or dirt.

2. **Prepare Your Workspace**:

  – Lay down newspaper or a drop cloth to protect your workspace from paint. Set up small containers or trays to hold your puzzle pieces.

3. **Paint the Puzzle Pieces**:

  – If using acrylic paint:

   – Pour the paint into a small container or onto a palette.

   – Use a paintbrush or sponge to apply a base coat to the puzzle pieces. Let them dry completely.

   – Apply additional coats if necessary for full coverage.

  – If using spray paint:

   – Lay the puzzle pieces flat on the newspaper or drop cloth.

   – Spray an even coat of paint over the puzzle pieces. Allow them to dry completely.

   – Apply additional coats if needed.

4. **Add Glitter (Optional)**:

  – While the paint is still wet, sprinkle glitter over the puzzle pieces to add a sparkling effect. Let the paint and glitter dry completely.

5. **Seal the Puzzle Pieces (Optional)**:

  – Once the paint (and glitter) is dry, you can seal the pieces with Mod Podge or clear varnish to add a glossy finish and protect the paint. Apply a thin, even coat and let it dry completely.

6. **Decorate the Puzzle Pieces (Optional)**:

  – Add small decorative items like rhinestones, stickers, or other embellishments to make the confetti more festive. Use glue to attach these items securely.

7. **Organize the Confetti**:

   – Once all the pieces are dry and ready, scatter them across your table for a fun and unique confetti effect. You can mix them with other types of confetti or decorations for added texture and interest.

Tips:

– Choose colors that match the theme of your event or party for a cohesive look.

– Mixing different shapes and sizes of puzzle pieces can create a more interesting and varied confetti.

– You can use themed puzzle pieces (e.g., pieces with holiday images) for specific occasions.
