That $2 puzzle from Goodwill was missing 4 pieces, but I glued it anyway

Bought a thrift store puzzle for a buck and got home to find chunks gone. Instead of tossing it, I traced the missing spots onto cardstock, colored them in, and glued the pieces flat. Now it hangs on my wall as a weird little art piece and honestly looks better than the real thing. Anyone else turn trash into decor around here?

Love it when broken things get a second life like that. I did the same with a thrifted painting that had a big scratch through the middle, just painted over it with some acrylics and now it's my favorite piece. Honestly makes the decor feel more personal than anything store bought.

Right? That personal touch makes all the difference. I did something similar with a chipped vase, just filled the crack with gold paint. Now it's the first thing people notice.
