Double-Challange Jigsaw Puzzle

by Elinor Stecker-Orel
Photo Puzzle

Article rating: 6.25


Imagine a jigsaw puzzle that has two different pictures for twice the challenge. You can make it easily with your computer and the special, scored paper that lets you put different photoson each side of the puzzle. Two pictures give you the opportunity to make it easy or hard for someone to assemble, depending on how similar or dissimilar the pictures are. Our example, with a color and black-and-white variation, would be fairly easy to put together.


What You'll Need:
"Flip Puzzle" computer paper from Micro Format www.Paper-Paper.com

Image-editing software (Like Adobe Photoshop Elements or ACDsee 4.0)

Two photographs sized to 4 x 6 inches


Here's what to do:
You will be printing both pictures on one sheet of paper. Follow Micro Format's directions to align your pictures within the margins. Before you print on the puzzle paper, print a test on regular paper to check the alignment. Then print on the puzzle paper, using a photo quality setting. When the ink is dry, remove the liner on the back of the paper to expose the adhesive coating. Fold the sheet on the perforated line, carefully smoothing it down to secure both halves together. Now you can pop out the sixteen puzzle pieces. As a variation, print a message or greeting on one side, a picture on the other.
