Mini Photo Puzzles with Gift Box Tutorial

Earlier in the week I talked about creating a mini puzzle out of a photo. I tried several way to do this and I have finally found the best way that worked for me. I also created a little gift box to give the mini puzzle in. I just love that the photo is on the outside of the box and it’s also the puzzle that’s on the inside. A great way to use those school photos.   If you want to learn how to make the Mini Puzzle and the matching Gift Box, just watch my video above.  I also included Mini Puzzle tips and the measurements below.  Here is the full SUPPLY LIST!

Tips for making Mini Puzzles

  • Photocopy your photos on to Whisper White Card Stock. That way you can print off as many as you need and if you make a mistake, you still have the original.
  • Use a 4″ x 4″ square of vellum as a template to mark your photo. The size of the finished puzzle is 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″, so you will have a little room to position the puzzle die before running it through the Big Shot.
  • Use a second square of 4″ x 4″ Whisper White Card Stock to back your photo. You can also stamp a message on the back of the Whisper White piece, have your child draw a picture, or have them sign their name.
  • Adhere the photo and the backing piece together with a piece of 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet.

Quick Reference

  • Box Bottom: Start with a 4″ x 4″ piece of card stock. Score at the 1″ mark on all four sides.
  • Box Lid: Start with a 4-1/16″ x 4-1/16″ piece of card stock. Score at the 1″ mark on all four sides. Decorate the sides with four 2″ x 1″ strips of designer series paper.  Punch thumb grips into the side of the lid with the 1/2″ circle punch.
