"Ok so I am going to start my puzzle with a greeting card, I've cut the back off where it had the writing and then just using the front and sit says, for your bridal shower. So I'm going to make this puzzle, mix it up, put it in a little bag and attach it to a gift for a bridal shower. It's a great way to recycle an old card. So you are going to flip it over face down, and you are going to take your popsicle sticks and you're just going to start lining them up. So if I go this way I'm going to have all this leftover. So I know that I want to go length wise this way. So I'm just going to line them up so that I have room to run an exacto knife through there. I want to have a little bit of space and you're just going to line up all the way across until you have it covered. This way you are prespacing them out before you glue them down. And if they hang over a little that's fine, if the stick shows through that's fine, it's just a really simple recyclable craft. Alright so I've got these all lined up, now I'm just going to take my glue and I'm going to place a line of glue on my puzzle, on my Popsicle stick to create my puzzle. And I'm just going to flip it over and it's going to go face down on my card. And you are going to repeat that step all the way through to the end of the card."
