How do you frame a jigsaw puzzle for a picture?

Answer 1

Not difficult to do! Go to the hobby store and buy the special glue they have for brushing over completed puzzles. I did this with a huge puzzle my students did a few years back. After the glue dried, we carefully slid it onto the cardboard backing that came with the appropriate sized frame we purchased for the puzzle. Ten years later, it's still holding and looks great. Have fun!

Answer 2

There's a product called puzzle saver, or you can use mod podge. Just follow the instructions on the bottle. I used to just glue a couple of layers of newspaper to the back of the puzzle with elmers and them put it in a premade frame, but the elmers made it warp a little. The other products I mentioned will not do that. You can buy odd size frames at michaels or ac moore.

Answer 3

Glue it on to foamboard to make it rigid. Go to your local Michael's or Hobby Lobby and they have a special puzzle glue that will also preserve the puzzle, as well as the foamboard for you to buy. Then go back to the framing section of either store, and find an open back frame you like and viola! Puzzle is framed.

Answer 4

place the completed jigsaw puzzle on a thin cardboard paper then saran wrap it. now find a frame and place it inside.

Answer 5

try gluing the whole thing onto a pice of cardbord, and then frame it in a shallow window box on a couple-o-stilts to make it rise of the back of the frame a lil bit.
