There are tricks to putting together jigsaw puzzles that will make them more fun to do.
You Will Need
- A jigsaw puzzle
- A flat surface
Step 1
Choose a puzzle with a picture that catches your eye. If you’re a beginner, choose one with 300 to 500 pieces.
Choose a puzzle with sharp or vivid colors and distinct lines for easier assembly.
Step 2
Lay out your puzzle pieces on a flat surface, separating the border or edge pieces from the inner pieces.
It’s easy to miss a border piece, so don’t worry if you can’t find them all. They’ll turn up later.
Step 3
Assemble the border pieces first. This gives you a defined area to work in.
Step 4
Sort the remaining pieces into piles based on colors, patterns, and shapes. After sorting these pieces, begin fitting them together.
Step 5
You’ve just put the last piece in. Now step back and admire your achievement!
The world’s largest manufactured jigsaw puzzle is 24,000 pieces.
