Is there a good procedure (other than a "kit") for readying a jigsaw puzzle to frame and hang on the wall

Question

I have completed the puzzle and it turned out to be so unique that I would love to save it permanently. Any suggestions, since it is already put together?

Answer 1

i have done this with a few puzzles, and i find it easiest to buy the puzzle glue (modge podge) and paint the glue on the front, depending on how thick and large the puzzle is you may need a few coats, but make sure they are dry before applying the next one (at least for the picture side of the puzzle) then all you have to do is flip it over, do the back a few times, and you can hang it that way, or purchase a frame for it.
hope that helped

Answer 2

Instead of using glue, which can sometimes ruin your hard work I would say get a frame in the size that your puzzle is slide the back under the puzzle put the frame on top and flip and push the little tabs on the frame down, this way from a distance your puzzle looks like a work of art! If you have a puzzle that that you can not find a frame for then you will have to glue, you can use a piece of poster board to keep it firm so later the pieces don't fall off. Best Of Luck

Answer 3

I've put a jigsaw puzzle on the wall before and we flipped the puzzle over and taped the back.

You may # the pieces.

Answer 4

You can buy puzzle glue just about anywhere. Apply the glue, wait for it to dry then mount it like a picture. Just be gentle. I've done this lots of times with small puzzles for my daughter's room.

Answer 5

I put it on a board and flipped it upside down. Then I put glue on the back of it. I then glued it to a piece of card stock. Now it is easier to move around and frame. I bought a frame for a craft store and framed it myself, but I am sure you can get it framed at a frame store, too.

Congrats on you accomplishment!
