You can go to thrift stores and buy frames. Just take to picture out and there you go!
Go to the thrift store. Buy a used frame. It may have a picture in it. Remove it and insert your puzzle. You nay spend $2 to $5 fir a beautiful frame.
I buy frames at the dollar tree store, i take them apart to make bigger ones if they don't fit.
Hey Barb ,
Hit you’re good will stores or Dollar Tree if they have them in your area.
Well first you need to know the measurements of the finished puzzle. If the pieces are securely glued to each other you could also glue a picture wire onto the back of the puzzle and hang that way. You could also glue the puzzle onto a piece of wood again the dimensions of the puzzle. Have you ever thought about using the puzzles as facing on furniture sides?
A good friend of mine and my family loved to work puzzles (1000 piece+) on the weekends. After a few months he had accumulated numerous puzzles and was running out of storage space for them. After puting our heads together he decided to glue a backing onto them and use them as hanging pictures on the wall. The cost of framing and the damage of having to use nail type hangers (the glue type hangers were no strong enough to hold them) Bob had a brain storm. His old house (early 1900's) had wood floors and they were WELL worn, He decided to glue the puzzles to the floors and cover them in clear shellac/varnish. He started with the entry hallway (8 feet wide, 25 feet long. Looked great. He then decided to do the adjoining main room the same way. Now walking into his home is a trip around the world (just don't run into the furniture while looking at his floor...;+D)
Further to Brenda's tip to purchase frames at thrift stores, this is also a
good source to find canvases to hang on the walls. Often the painted picture is unattractive, but your completed puzzle can be glued directly on to the canvas hiding what was formerly seen.
