DIY Dollar Tree Craft
Who would have thought that you could use an old puzzle laying around? Even if you don’t have a puzzle with missing peices, grab one at the dollar tree or Goodwill store.
This awesome craft allows you to upcycle a puzzle with missing pieces (or a new one from the Dollar Store) into a cute as can be home décor wreath and let your family know that they are LUCKY!
