Step 4: Add Details and Highlights* Use finer brushes to add details to each puzzle piece. Highlight the pumpkins, add shadows, and bring the pumpkin patch to life with artistic flair. Let your creativity shine in this step.
Step 5: Seal the Puzzle Pieces* Once the paint has dried, seal the puzzle pieces with Mod Podge or a clear sealant. This step protects the paint and ensures the longevity of your Pumpkin Patch Puzzle.
Step 6: Optional Backing for a Finished Look (Optional)* To give your puzzle a finished look, consider backing it with craft paper or felt. This not only adds durability but also makes the puzzle more aesthetically pleasing.
