Hello All,
It seems that name puzzles are all the rage this year. I have a friend who asked if I would make a name puzzle for her son for Christmas this year. He is still young and I wanted to make the name puzzle and put a backing on the puzzle so that the letters of the name would be placed it the outline and not fall out the back. However if I do this the letters will be hard to manipulate. I was wondering if anyone tried putting little knobs or handles on the letters or experimented with ways to make the letter pieces stick out of the top of the puzzle so that they could be grabbed or manipulated.
Really I am not sure what to do. I have thought about cutting the puzzle and then sanding down the board from which the letters were cut so that the letters would stick out. but that sounds like a lot of sanding.
Any ideas in the crowd?
Thanks in advance
