Here’s a little project that “upcycles” trash into treasure, …well, at least it’s fun! Make jigsaw puzzles out of old cereal boxes. Uses the boxes themselves as the storage for all the puzzle parts.
TIP: save a peeled backing sheet from a prior GF project and use it as a “burn shield” to protect the printed graphic while cutting. The adhesive from this second use is just tacky enough (like a Post It) to hold in place while cutting without peeling away any printed ink.
Sure, any chipboard would work fine and more in the spirit of “upcycling”. Maybe I’ll try it with some old left over drawing tablet cardboard backings. No need to use up virgin Draftboard.
Corrugated boxes not so much as it doesn’t have physical integrity along edges cut along the open part of the corrugation channels. But an interesting riff on this would be to use 2 different package boxes (chipboard) back to back. That would make it wicked hard to solve the puzzle
