Kid Icarus Puzzles

Our puzzles are FINALLY here! The idea for these screen printed puzzles was conceived 18 months ago. We wanted a puzzle that was handmade with the smallest carbon footprint as possible. These puzzles, from material to final product, were made within a 500km radius from our shop. So happy the project is complete!
