Puzzle Punch DIY Jigsaw Puzzle Piece Cutter for Personalized Jigsaw Puzzle Custom Photo Puzzle Customized Puzzle Making Tool (Cerulean Blue)

Easy to use, puzzles came out great.

Easy to use. Great way to create puzzles without the hassle of sublimation.

I love anything crafty and stumbled across pre-made, pre-cut puzzles before. Putting your own picture on them are very difficult, though.I tried another, more expensive, type of puzzle maker before, after delving deeper into being able to make my own. After the THIRD one of those broke I gave up.Looking to see if Amazon had anything different, I found this little gem!Method 1: Full Sheet Mailing Labels, print your picture, attach to medium weight chipboard, cover with a 2mm or 3mm self-adhesive laminating sheet, trim if necessary, punch.Method 2: Print the picture onto plain computer paper, attach to a 1mm to 1.5mm adhesive backed foam sheet, again, cover with a self-adhesive laminating sheet, trim, and punch.NOTE: The 2mm foam sheets or thicker do NOT work! Anything much thicker than 1.5mm won't fit into the machine.This handy little machine is also much more portable that the other version I tried, plus it has a locking mechanism, so if you have sheets pre-made, it's easy to punch out puzzles - of any size - wherever you go!Came back to order a second one NOT because my first one broke, but because my son wants to get in on the puzzle making action. He was already having a blast helping me design puzzles, now he wants his own so he can not only make his own puzzles, but also to help me when I make them for friends and family as gifts!

Did what it was suppose to but kept getting stuck

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PUZZLE PUNCHER! (I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE DESCRIPTION, BUT I MIGHT BE ALONE ON THAT. HERE ARE SOME INSTRUCTIONS IN CASE ANYONE ELSE NEEDS THEM ;)1) The paper loads from the top, not the bottom like my other punch.2) Put the paper (they have a list of other materials you can use as well) in the punch, lined up straight across the bottom. When you feel the internal "stopper", Punch!3) *Your piece will be 1 inch, which makes it look much more like a real puzzle than other punches I'vetried. *Because it's 1 inch, your paper must be a multiple of 1 inch.4) Put the paper in again, it will be a bit awkward bc you now have holes in the paper but you get used to it. When you feel the paper is against the "stopper", punch!5) You now have 2 completely different pieces!6) Just work your way across. Then start row 2 back at the beginning & continue for as large as you'd like!This would make adorable little family photo puzzles to send or even make one for kids out of their favorite character!

Love! Does exactly what it’s supposed to do! Very heavy also

Ok, so I have to admit I was really puzzled by this at first (see what I did there?) (pun definitely intended) as I could not figure out how a seemingly one shaped puzzle piece maker could make an entire puzzle - sides pieces, corners, and middle pieces...but it does! I'm still baffled but all I can tell you is, it works! All of the pieces will fit together, so even though the same fit makes it seem easy, it's actually somewhat of a challenge because you have to rely solely on color and pattern. Aside from it working, it seems to be a solid item made with better quality materials from what I can tell. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that mine got stuck (wouldn't fully open or close) and I really had to force it closed to get it to work - it was out of the blue - but it seemed to click back into place and now works fine again. However, it made stress marks in the handle that show that the plastic in that area (two lines) weakened. It doesn't at all feel like it will break, but those marks definitely are a reminder that it could break over time if it happens again. I can honestly say I'm not sure if it was my fault, or something that just happened. I do think it was a freak thing though, and it operated fine afterwards. I am not sure it could handle balsa wood, though it claims it can. Regardless, it's a neat little tool that should last a long time (IF it doesn't get stuck like mine did). Over all, I would still recommend it - it's so much fun if you're a puzzle person!

Me costó un poco encontrarle la manera, pero solo fue un poco de practica y listo.
