making replacement puzzle pieces with cardstock - now I have 100% of my pieces! sort of!
In case anyone wants a tip, I use cardstock (this is just an example using a post-it) to outline the shape of a missing puzzle piece with pencil. I cut it out and usually color it in or I put on a layer of washi tape and cut it out again. (Holding the piece up to the light helps show you where the cardstock puzzle piece is vs where the negative space is).
Whether it visually fits in well or not, it helps me think of the puzzle as mine too :) a secondhand puzzle someone loved enough to donate, and then I loved it enough to add my own creation to it
The first puzzle pictured here is the mythical world puzzle by Laurence King, 1000 pc. The second is the van Gogh sunflower puzzle with gold foil by Hinkler Play, 500 pc
