Secure the Puzzle Surface
To keep your puzzle intact, use puzzle glue or adhesive sheets to bond the pieces together. Apply an even layer of glue across the surface or carefully press adhesive sheets over the puzzle. Allow it to dry completely before handling to ensure a firm hold.Mount or Frame Your Puzzle
Once your puzzle is secured, place it on a sturdy backing board to maintain its shape. Choose a frame that fits your puzzle’s dimensions to protect and display your masterpiece beautifully. Framing adds an extra layer of preservation, keeping your puzzle safe from dust and damage.Store Your Puzzle Safely
If you prefer to take your puzzle apart and store it, keep the pieces in the original box or a sealed storage bag to prevent loss. For added organization, consider using sorting trays to separate pieces by color or pattern, making future assembly easier.
Maintain and Protect Your Puzzle
To keep your puzzle in top condition, dust it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid placing it in humid areas or direct sunlight, as moisture and UV rays can cause warping or fading. Always handle puzzles with care to prevent bending or damaging the pieces.
