Have you ever done a giant puzzle? What did you do with it when you were done?
Don't forget to enter to win this 9,000 piece puzzle on Instagram - follow me at @karenpuzzles for all the details!
today i have solve 1000 pc puzzle from clementoni puzzle (museum collection) It's fantastic pastime 😀
I just started the largest puzzle I have ever attempted. It is the 3000 piece Ravensburger Animals of Africa. Not a giant, but big to me.
I have the border complete and a few square inches of some other parts right at the moment.
The finished dimension will be 4 feet by 2 1/2 feet. My plan is to make it into a coffee table after I get it finished.
It is a very nice bit of artwork too with a LOTS of detail. Ravensburger gets a thumbs up from me, same as this channel and video. TY.
We are doing a 1000piece puzzle at my work. I work in a outside school daycare, 2yrs-12yr old kids. With a few 8-12 yr old kids, we are trying to solve a puzzle. Its going okay, but rather slow. They love it though and they would flip if we could make a really big one as a project!! So im really hoping to win it!
The biggest I’ve done was either 2000 or 2500. It’s a Star Wars puzzle. After I was done I put clear contact paper on the front and back and hung it on the wall in his office since he loves Star Wars
@@TalladegaTom that's the one I did took 5 weeks
"500 hours! Who would spend that much time grinding on a puzzle!"
"Well... hobbies are important."
I puzzle more hours a week but for example I DONT oWn A TV ;-)
Kapn Kerf Few things are more relaxing than putting on some music or a podcast, sipping a beer (or coffee, or whatever), and working a puzzle.
that's a lot of time and she is an expert at puzzles
My wife and I bought a Ravensberger 9,000 piece of the Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for our 1 year anniversary. Next month is our 24th anniversary and we're thinking we might start it soon... #intimidating
get her done man 🤣🤣🤣
len brian we are just putting our house on the market now and plan to build this to celebrate our new home
@@7ninjasstudios808 start by looking inside if they are also seperated into different bags. if thats the case its less scary to start ! :D
LMAOOOOOO
@@zitronentee2302 Or get a good puzzler friend to do it, then disassemble it into sections of 500/1000 pieces bags. That's what I did as a birthday present for my younger cousin, where instead of a whole 2000 piece puzzle, I assembled and disassembled it into 8 sections of ~250 pieces each, rebagging each with a supermarket fresh produce plastic bag.
"Its not a 1,000 piece puzzle that can be finished in an afternoon."
It took me a month to finish the 1,000 piece hot air balloon puzzle after work and on weekends. You're awesome.
practice, you know. I worked for three days on a 300 piece Star Wars puzzle, that was rough.
@@charlescarter6175 I am 11 yo and I did a 500 piece puzzle in 3 days
Sara Antonia good job I really wish I could show this 300 piece one it was really fun but a little tough because it was small lines and mostly black and white
It’s been more than a month and I’m still working on the same 1000 piece puzzle and I’ve been working on it almost every day (not for long though maybe an hour at a time)
Kelly - I just received my 1000 piece puzzle today. It's going to take me way more than an 'afternoon' to finish. :-)
"this isn't a little 1000 piece puzzle that you can get done in an afternoon"
me: struggles to solve a 1000 in a week
edit: 1k likes nicee
me: struggles to solve a 1000 in 4 months :D
haha right! 1000 is hard ones too
Less than 1000 is not a real challenge. The bigger ones get more difficult if there is a big chunk of sky or tremendous amounts of details like forests or grass or large areas with the same color.
@@adamabele785 ok you
Me struggles with 500
Back Pain....The ultimate enemy of puzzlers everywhere! I hope someday someone comes up with an idea of how to more comfortably do puzzles.
Novaximus get yourself a turntable. It has changed my puzzle life.
Tell me about it that's what sucks about puzzles back pain I do mine on my bed
I just sit on the ground on my area rug and so my 1500 piece while watching tv. Or get an ottoman?
twisty puzzles are the opposite of back pain
Using a heating pad wrapped around my waist (you can get some with an elastic band) really helped me. It delayed onset of pain and then it wasn’t as bad as it would have been without the heating pad. Stretching before and after sessions helps too. 😅
Oh my God when you took apart the 9000 one I died inside
right, so much work 😭😭
It’s the journey not just the destination!
I literally came from the 42000 puzzle and he mixed every thing together
wooow that's unbeliveble, did you happen to record it?
PuzzleBug there is a time lapse on youtube! The description of his video also stated how long it took him to sort and assemble the puzzle. 2 months for just the sorting 😅
Omg me too
"I signed up to do a 9000 piece puzzle".
Karen Kavett, hardcore puzzler! 😎
Literally felt her when she said this like yes we signed up for a 9000 piece puzzle haha
I'm so happy to be able to share this video with all of you! I've been wanting to make it for ages!
Quick question:are you hebrew?
You really liked your own comment lol
Lol I'm having a hard time with with a 1000 piece puzzle....any advice...thanks
I dont have baking trays nor enough puzzle boxes. What do I do?
@@wadealexs7916
M.
Wow I'm so lucky to live in Germany the Ravensburger Puzzles are way cheaper here
Cheap??? If 9000 piece costs 100$. How much does it cost in Germany?
I just got one of those last week
@@desertfox4921 how much does it cost?
Sagish Preman I am not sure my wife bought it when she was in Germany last week
@@desertfox4921 I didn't know it's that tough to ask ur wife... 😡😡😡😡
I was very surprised, when you said, you did the astrology puzzle in about 500 hours. Because I have it at home too and I also wrote down my time and it only took me 133 hours.
Currently, I am trying another 5000 piece puzzle by Ravensburger, but I started just a few weeks ago.
Edit: Ok, I did two 4500 puzzles, so I didnt mix them, because I thought it would be difficult enough.
I have done a 2000 piece puzzle. I took it apart and I still have it in my closet. Since I live in a snowy city, I love doing jigsaw puzzles all winter long. I pick up some all year round and stack them up for a snow day.
I'm don't speak english, but I'm trying to understand your tips because i buyed a puzzle with 9 thousands peaces. Im so excited to do this and your videos will help me. I'm waiting the puzzle comes cause i buyed yesterday. Thanks for your videos.
I just started my first 3,000 piece puzzle! Literally haven't done a puzzle once in my adult life, aside from little kid puzzles with my kids. I may have gotten in over my head, we shall see lol. I've got the border done and all of the pieces sorted out in their various sections in baking sheets that are now all over my room. That took 6 hours 😂 Ah, quarantine.
How's it going? :)
I'd love to have news ! Did you finish it ?
It is hard to do jigsaw puzzle, when you have cat, especially when doing it on the floor 😀
UGGH I LOVE doing puzzles, but I just rescued a kitten- she messes with EVERYTHING I pay attention to, so I haven’t even thought about bringing her around my puzzles!
I have a kitten as well i just close the door
I try to work on them when she is doing someone else and have a way to organise my pieces and cover them so if she comes up for cuddles, I can shut down areas I don't want her to mess with. Just a lot of pre planning. Or have an available box for her to lie in
When I finish my puzzles I always run my hands over them and take a photo with my phone then break them up straight away . I’ve got a big folder of photos to look back on and a whole cupboard full of jigsaws ! Great channel - love the reverse time lapses. Watching from the UK.
Everytime i need to get motivated on starting a difficult puzzle i watch one of your videos and get pumped up before starting. You have some awesome energy that comes across all the time. Love you girl!!
I ordered a wedding photo in a puzzle form. I got married in a desert so the photo is mostly all the same color. I have spent hours working on it and I have barley gotten the edges put together. I feel like a total idiot... HELP!? The only main color is my white dress. haha. I had big plans for quarantine.
Lol that sucks! You're gonna have to sort it out into shapes and just keep on truckin one by one
How many pieces do you have?
I also planned to do a puzzle with 5000 pieces during quarantine, but now i have to study, so I didnt make any progress in the last weeks.
I bought an ‘impossible’ puzzle and I can not do it for the life of me 😭 it’s only 1000 pieces but it’s just Olaf over and over 😫
Hi I am Christina, I just finished a 2,000 piece puzzle. That's my biggest puzzle I did. It took me a month. I am working on glue it then up on the wall. So excited.
I build many puzzles and from the puzzles, I designed a puzzle wall bathroom. Ceiling, walls and door are covered with the many puzzles. It is still in process. I actually have the same small 1000 piece astrology puzzle on the ceiling. It glows in the dark. I placed it above the light fixture so it can be recharged. Puzzles are so much fun!!!
The biggest jigsaw puzzle I have ever done is 2000 pieces and is not glue but it has a sticky paper at the back, so I could separate the pieces again if I wanted to. It is on the kitchen table with a glass on top so I can use the table as normal. Right now I'm working on a 3000 pieces one, I'm not even half way through yet but I'm having so much fun with it and I'm doing it secretly because I want to frame it when it's finished and give it to my mum as a present the day I come back to live in Spain, hopefully this summer
I finished the Ravensburger New York City Window, 32000 pieces back in March. It took 2 months to complete and is still in sections, waiting for me to work out how to mount this beauty.
And, this one isn't on your list!
Love your enthusiasm for jigsaws. Like you, I love the Wasgij puzzles and own most of them now. I like to work blind on 1000 piece puzzles to extend the enjoyment and time of puzzling too... only since building the Wasgij's gave me that idea.
Love your channel. Keep smiling :D
I really appreciate the visuals you add in with your explanations. I'm a visual person and it's great to see what you're describing!
I literally have that same exact astrology puzzle but it’s 1000 pieces! It’s one of my favorites because it’s so pretty!
Karen!!
You are a force of nature!! You are pure optimism and encapsulate the can do spirit of human capability. Go girl go!!
And I’m here dying from a 1000 piece puzzle
More like 100 😂
Yes 😂
Me 1000 too. I couldnt even build 2 peice😂😂😂
I'm curious, Since I'm fairly new to following you, did you give this puzzle away? Did the person ever complete it and send a video or photo for you to see it? Thanks you are great!
Largest I’ve ever done was a 6,000 by Educa called “Late Summer Garden”. I don’t remember how long it took exactly but it was at least a couple of months. Normally when I do large 3,000+ piece puzzles, I put them back into the box in sections. I do have a couple of those Ravensburger 9,000 piece ones, but don’t currently have the space to assemble them, though I do plan to remedy that at some point.
What a great video Karen! This is the first video of yours that I see and I'm definitely following your channel from now on!
If nothing else I love your enthusiasm. Infectious
And now you have your 24.000 pcs puzzle.😅I love u soo much🥰🥰
Hi, Karen! I just discovered your channed from searching "18000 piece puzzle", of which I have 3. Lots of great tips I wouldn't have realized. Thanks!
I really like the way you do the puzzles and like put them back in the puzzle box.
commenting before watching all the way through to say you have made me get super excited about puzzles and my mom bought me TWO huge rainbow puzzles and i did one in like 2 days!! it was awesome
That makes me so happy to hear!
My biggest puzzle ever was 6000 Noah's Arc. My husband made me a wood table in an extra big room in our house. So I worked it on the wood then mod lodged to the wood to hang it. He made a white frame for it and its hanging in my she shed. We are both retired so we have lots of time for hobbies. I don't think I will ever do a puzzle more than 3000 pieces again. A 3000 piece puzzle fits perfectly on my dining table and then I use cookie sheets on a 3 tiered rolling cart. I've found this to be the most handy way to work puzzles. Love your channel and happy puzzleing!
I just came across your videos - it is exactly the process I use. Thank you for being so cheerful. 🥰 keep puzzling 😀
Yesss I have been waiting for another video 😎 I really need that puzzle!!
I done a 3d puzzle of tower bridge in London. It was about 7 foot long, took me 2 weeks in the evening, while visiting family in Canada 20 years ago.
Thanks again for sharing.I just love your channel. So unique. I don't think there's another like this.enjoy your tips.
I just love talking about puzzles!
Very informative video, I never knew that there are giant zip lock bags available, also the secret of mega piece puzzles are bagged in sections.
Thank you for sharing your puzzle expertise and maybe someday you will have your own puzzle emporium. PS: your videos are of high quality,fun and mostly very informative .
You are awesome, I wish I knew someone like you in my real life.
Barely gotten into the vid, but this seems insane. Going to pick up a 9,000 piece next. Stoked for it! Waiting to seem the time to completion for this. 500 hours! This will be awesome! Didn’t even know this size existed.
I’m working on a 896 piece puzzle and I don’t do puzzles a whole lot but now I really like them, but it’s very difficult so I’m glad I found this channel and video.
Hi Karen. I also go through all the pieces and sort out the edges and different shapes. I make trays by cutting off the sides of cardboard boxes. After sorting, I will turn the pieces right side up and put them in rows. I came up with a system that I sometimes use to aid in assembling puzzles that don't require sorting pieces. Large puzzles come with a poster but Heye puzzles all come with a poster of the image (even the 1000pc ones). I mount the poster on a piece of cardboard with masking tape. I assemble the outside edge of the puzzle on a piece of plywood. I then use a marker and mark off a line at every so many pieces along each side (Heye puzzles are divisible by 5, so I do every 5th piece). I move the edges of the puzzle to the side and connect the marks horizontally and vertically to make a giant grid and label them 1,2,3... along the bottom and A,B.C... along the side. So each grid represents an area of 5 by 5 pieces.
Knowing how many squares there are going horizontally and vertically, I mark the same amounts along the edge of the poster on the cardboard and label them the same as the puzzle's grid. I cut notches in the edges of the cardboard using the marks I made as a guide and run string across and up and down over the poster into the notches. I use a color of string that is easy to see over the picture. So now I have a grid system on the poster that matches the grid of the puzzle on the plywood. All I have to do is grab a piece and find where it belongs in the picture. I look at which grid it goes in and place the piece on the plywood. If that piece is in the poster at grid B3, I place it in grid B3 on the plywood. If I can't figure out where a piece goes, I will then organize it by shape in a tray. For puzzles that don't have a poster, I put masking tape along the edge of the image on the box lid and make my marks on the tape. Then I can eyeball it or use a straightedge to get the letter and number of the grid square the piece goes in.
For those who thinks that's cheating, I disagree. Cheating to me is when you take the pieces out of the box and do not take apart the ones that are already joined together. I always take them apart.
Thanks for the video, I love it!
Hello again. After I do my puzzles I take them apart & pass them on to a co worker. I didn't realize how many people still love to do them I thought it was a lost art. The only reason I'm not signing up to win the puzzle is it's bigger than my apartment.lol . But you are very kind and generous.
And here is me, struggling to even complete a simple 500 piece x
i got three puzzles of 136 pieces. those were nice. i also have inherited the van gogh sunflowers in 2000. not nice. there are two huge sections in grey.
I just discovered your channel after doing a puzzle marathon, I love seeing all the different things you do!
The largest puzzle I've done is a 2000 piece I got for Christmas a few years ago with a ton of Disney movies on it. I finished it in one day from maybe 12 noon to 4am (Night Owl puzzling for the win!). Unfortunately when I was done there were three pieces missing and I couldn't find them anywhere after moving tables and lifting couch cushions and checking under furniture, that still upsets me a little bit. Fortunately they were on areas of the puzzle that served as borders between the different movie clips so it wasn't TOO bad to be missing some XD But now I really want to try a bigger puzzle. Probably not quite this big because I don't have the space at all, but still something bigger!
Hi Karen, the biggest puzzle I made was 6000 pieces of Las Vegas. I think it took me about 3-4 weeks. I glued it and hanged it in one of my living rooms wall. Love your videos. Greeting from Argentina!!
I love puzzles! They are so much fun to do
For sorting I made a set of trays with borders out of thin plywood. It worked out really well and they stack neatly together. You'd almost need a separate whole Jigsaw Room to do one of those monumentally big jigsaws! Great vid Karen. I finally got an Eeboo jigsaw - the garden one - which I'll do next. They can thank you for that sale!
I love the idea of building your own trays!
I just watched your video and am very impressed with both you and your channel. I am retired living in Rehoboth Beach Delaware and have been looking for a challenge for a while now. Since I don't have tons of space I normally do large challenging Rubik's cubes but you have me convinced to attempt a big puzzle. I subscribed to your You-tube channel and will review the rest of your videos while deciding how many pieces is best for me but I am already thinking about 9000. My record right now is 3500 pieces. Thanks for sharing !!!
3:50 RESPECT I think you just called everyone out who did these puzzles in sections as great big you know what's lmao. You're a bad ass (give's Karen a fist bump)
lol I'm not judging anyone! Just sharing my experiences!
A puzzle this big is definitely puzzle goals - also house goals to have an area where I can do one this big!
the biggest puzzle I've ever done is a 2500 piece puzzle. the thing that made this puzzle more challenging is the pieces were bigger than the pieces from a stander puzzle and I worked on it little by little over a summer
Love the video!!!! Thank you
I made 6000 pieces “Sistine Chapel” puzzle by “Trefl”. İts the hardest puzzle ı have ever done. I send my greetings from Turkey.
I’m currently working on Ravensburger’s 18,000 piece Magical Bookcase. There is so much going on that it’s a really fun puzzle, even just to look at the picture, but it’s still challenging. This one is in four sections and they are all cut the same so I do one section on top of another so at least I know what shape I’m looking for. I’m sure there are some diehards out there who would be aghast, but I can use all the help I can get. I hope to eventually mount it somehow and put it on my wall. Just how remains to be seen.
Several years ago, I did Educa’s Life which I also enjoyed but it took me probably a year as I didn’t have that much time to work on it. At the time I didn’t have the space to display it and gave it away but I’m almost tempted to do it again and keep it this time.
I’m a big fan of foam core and use several pieces taped together as a work surface and also use individual sheets as “trays” to lay out the pieces.
I'm so jealous that you've done the Life puzzle!
Love his puzzles!
I found your channel in June 2020. I love this video, but I have one question. Who won the puzzle? Have they completed it yet? Have they kept in touch as to their progress?
Hi Karen I’m a puzzle fanatic aged 65. I do my puzzles exactly like u but use trays to sort the pieces. I live in South Africa Jhb and one cannot get giant puzzles like u are showing. A limited number of shop s sell puzzles normally up to 2000 pieces. I am retired and have a dining room table where I do my puzzles. I break them up and keep the boxes I in my garage. I once found a 4000 piece puzzle which took me 3 weeks. I had to put pieces of board on my table as it was just too big. I have a massive bedroom and now see I could buy the boards like u had and do sections. Great idea. Puzzles are very expensive in South Africa due to our exchange rate. If I found a 9000 piece puzzle I wouldn’t be able to afford it. I can barely manage the cost of a 2000 piece puzzle. I’d love to win your 9000 piece puzzle. Fingers crossed
I just started doing puzzles a couple of months ago. Up until Christmas, I was doing 500 piece puzzles. Then I got a 2000 piece Ravensburger for Christmas. I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks (about 4 hours each day) and I’m only about half done. It’s a challenge for sure, but it’s coming along. I think the key thing is sorting. I use baking sheets.
I saw a 32,000 piece puzzle at a local store to me the other day which is insane! And I love puzzles and that just seem crazy to me!
Wow.. amazing!!!!
That is an amazing puzzle!
I just now got my 18000 piece Magical Bookcase puzzle in the mail. It’s probably gonna take me a couple of years.
Clementoni's 13200 piece puzzles are also really nice.
I love your personality so bloody much
I'm nearly finishing my 550 pieces puzzle and you are really good at puzzles and i like puzzles do you like puzzles.
you are so AWESOME! that's cool that you gave it away to someone else to enjoy it. 🥰 Great video 💙🐝💙
Aloha Karen! I am enjoying your videos very, very much. Today, I recovered Schmidt Puzzle 02168 “Ancient world map”. It’s a 6000 (actually 6016) - piece puzzle I received as an Xmas gift ca. 1992. It helped me through a dark time when I put it together in 1994. That was a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away and I think it took 4-6 hours every day for 3-4 months. Thankfully, it is still assembled in 16 sections in the box. I don’t want to glue it, so I’m thinking about either sandwiching it between plywood and acrylic or putting sections in acrylic floating frames and hanging it/them. Unless, of course, I find something more fun to do with it on Pinterest or your DIY channel. Mahalo for all you share.
My biggest was the Wrebbit 3181-piece 3-D New York City puzzle... took about a month to put together, but it was really fun!
My sister has that one too!
I did that puzzle many years ago, it was a tough one, but really cool when I finished it.
I am currently doing a Educa 1500 jigsaw for Spices and Herbs and l can't even find all the edge pieces. I am making small progress with each day
In this puzzle each piece exists four times. The puzzle is cut right on the axes. So it was very helpful for me to find two same pieces and try them in the two spots to see which blue or black fits best for the space. It made a big change because now I could do both sides of the space simultaneously.
I really love giant puzzles a lot - special if you frame it and put it on the wall it really looks amazing. I am looking for a magic book with 18,000 parts.
I love your videos! I did mine in halves you're so brave to do both at once!! I never thought about using foam core! I feel so dumb lmao :)
You are adorable!! Thanks for making the videos.
Great video. I only have space for doing a 4000 puzzle. It's really hard especially if you have two cats hanging around. I'll do the Astrology puzzle in the future when I have more space. I won't mix the bags, though:) The main reason why I like puzzles from 1000-3000 pieces is that I don't find any pleasure in looking at the same picture for a very long time.
It's definitely a time commitment! I definitely understand wanting to switch it up more often than every few months.
Thank you. 😁
Aww i was sooo excited to enter ! Iv always wanted to do a giant puzzle but have never been able to afford one (they are deffo a splurge) but i dont live in the US, but have looked at the Ravensburger 40320 piece ones you showed....... maybe 2019 is my year !!
P.S iv been following you on instagram and youtube for a while and i LOVE your videos 👏🏻
Question, what kind of material can I use to glue a puzzle and what store can I actually find the material, right now I'm doing one for Christmas and I need to mount it but I don't find a proper size frame for it. Thank you
This is awesome
I like taking puzzles apart. I can do it again someday or give it to someone else to put it together.
Gee Karen, i just love Your videos :) thank You, You are so optimistic person :) its Awesome that You give away such a things . i always wanted to do a big puzzle, and this 9k was in my wishlist, i did the smaller version, but im an amateur compared to You. nowadays i just have no time to do such thing, adult life hits me hard xDD.
hope that You are fine in this hard times now. take care !! all the best for You
How cool!! I have never done a puzzle over 1000 pieces. We put one together annually (at Christmas) as a family over about a week...much to my dismay--I love sitting and putting a puzzle together in one or two sittings. 😊 But mostly, due to my children's ages, we stick to about 500 pieces throughout the year. I try to let them do a lot of work...so it can take a couple of days with this method. But now you have inspired me to get a giant puzzle to do with them as a house warming gift to ourselves. 💗
Just found your channel! Love it - I have always loved puzzles ☺️👍. Have you ever done the crystal 3D puzzles ?
I entered 2 years later!
I love doing puzzles. The last I finished on July 30, 2021 of 2,000 pieces. I let it for a few days over the dinning table after I finished it and then I put it back in his box. I started the 1st of july and finished the 30th. I worked on the puzzle sometimes in the morning or by the afternoon or night.👍😁
10:29 Omg it's so satisfying to see this puzzle completed. I'm working on it for a year now and it's soo frustrating to make the galaxy parts. I do not work on it every day and I also had a big break after a month of working but I'm still on the first half of the puzzle..So I'm actually don't do a 9000 Puzzle but it's so hard. It's crazy how you managed to do this and I have to look for the video in which you made it. So satisfying *-* It's also so beautiful!
13:38 Yes I do this too and I also seperate it by counting the stars on each of the puzzles. So with the picture of the final puzzle it's easier to look for specific puzzles.
Keep doing what your doing
"I had no friends at the time"
"My friend Alex came over"😂😂😂
haha, maybe I was exaggerating a bit!
Exactly what I was thinking when I just watched. Lol
Nice Video 👍
I'm currently working on the 42000 pieces around the world puzzle, I bought just over a year ago did 2 bags until end of 2019 but now with the lockdown I'm doing the rest much faster doing each bag of 6000 in 2-3 weeks, I'm with the last section and I calculate that I will finish it completely next week a long and enjoyable project, perfect for the lockdown
Kodak has a puzzle with 51,300 named 27 Wonders of the world. It comes in 27 bags. It is available from Puzzle Warehouse and Amazon.
Wow, I missed that one! Thanks for the info!
The size and packaging of these types of puzzles reminds me of adult age Legos. I had one where it was in 12 groups but each group could be 3 bags, especially early numbers, because of the types of pieces like one bag containing all the studs and 2/3 stud pieces and one bag with the rods and bricks and one bag with the more specialized and big pieces like the big turrets and trees.
That one took me a whole day to put together and it was over 4000 pieces.
Im super jealous I have been wanting to do this puzzle for so long and just found this video. This is a puzzle that I wanted to frame. Im still looking for my chance to get one.
You should use some of that footage of breaking up the turtle ravens Berger puzzle and make a cool intro to your videos with it. I think it'd be a nice touch. Even the music was pretty cool
There is a puzzle gallery in a small town in Australia that has some of those large puzzles on display
The largest I have done is the 5000 Colours puzzle, and it is the only puzzle that I have glued together. I actually ended up making my own frame for it out of particle board with trim pieces that I painted and glued around the edges. I haven't found a good way to hang up yet, so it just leans against the wall in my living room haha
I have that one and haven't gotten to it yet!
Love puzzles
I, sadly, don’t have the space for anything over 1000 pieces. I wish we had a bigger house, as I’d use a room as a puzzling room/library. That’s the dream anyway!
That would be incredible!
