Instructions

1.  Put your puzzle together and then lay it right side down on the back sheet of your patterned paper.

3.  Cut out all of the pieces! 

4.  Ink around the edges of the cut out paper pieces with Distress Ink. 

5.  Run the puzzle pieces through the Xyron and adhere them to the original puzzle pieces.
