DIY Jigsaw Piece Pendants

Tutor: Kate Nisbet, crafter and designer, What Kate Made

Do you have old jigsaw puzzles you no longer use, or extra pieces that don’t fit anywhere? Come join lifelong crafter Kate as she shows us how to upcycle those pieces into keychains and jewellery.

In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll follow along to decorate fun and unique DIY pendants using simple supplies like paper scraps, beads, and ribbons. These pendants can be turned into necklaces, bracelets, or keyrings – a fun and eco-friendly upcycled craft that’s great for beginners and anyone interested in handmade jewellery or jigsaw craft ideas.
