Heart-Shaped Puzzle!



This puzzle was a really cool way to create a visual project that represents the thoughts and ideas of our entire team at school.  The poster is entitled:  "Advisory:  The Heart of Mather Culture".  Puzzle pieces were distributed to all of the teachers and each teacher wrote down their thoughts about why Advisory is at the heart of our school's culture.  

I used my Silhouette to make this project.  I cut out that puzzle in three pieces since the Silhouette only does 12x12 paper and this is probably like 24x24.  FIrst I cut out the red puzzle pieces and then I cut the same things out again on pink paper so that the outline of the puzzle popped.  I had to overlap the pink to get it in line, then glue it down and cut off the excess.  Hopefully that makes sense.  I don't have pictures to demonstrate what I mean.  At our school retreat, we filled in the puzzle pieces and then taped them onto the puzzle.  After the retreat, I glued them all down and then laminated the entire puzzle and put it on display!
