Useful Jigsaw Puzzle Tools and Tips
My kids love to complete jigsaw puzzles and save them. So I developed a method of gluing the puzzles together by carefully using a foam brush to neatly cover the front of the puzzle with Mod Podge. (If you don't want any shine to your Mod Podge finish, pick the matte variety.) I then slip wax paper under the completed puzzle, and use that paper to carefully lift the puzzle up so I can slip a big piece of cardboard (usually a flattened box) underneath it.

How to Make DIY Box Cushion & Office Love Seat—An Easy DIY Tutorial
Thanks to Premier Prints for sponsoring this review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. A few months ago, I got a cute little loveseat for my home office.

The only problem is that the mini sofa isn't comfortable enough to sit on for 7-8 hours a day. So I got myself some 3-inch foam that I cut to size to make my own cushion. I got a super cute bird-print fabric by Premiers Prints at ShopFabric.com and Continue reading...
