Business card puzzles
« on: January 04, 2012, 03:52:29 pm »
I haven?t posted in a while so I thought I?d show the Business Card puzzles I made to give to friends and family as novelty gifts over the holidays.

I got the idea from an article by Diana Thompson, in the December 2011 issue of Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine.

Instead of making framed, stand-up puzzles, as in the article, I made cases for them so they could be carried around to show off.

I?ve already received requests from friends and business associates of the people I?ve given them to asking me if I could make them one.

The puzzles are very easy to make and for someone that?s looking for a little extra spending money it may be worth looking into.

What a neat idea, I wouldn't have thought of that.
