Know let me explain how to make an jigsaw puzzle:
First step is to take a picture you want to display on your private
puzze. It can be a huge foto or a calendar for expamle. Do not
take some magazines because they are to easy to sovle.
Ok in the next Step decide what kind of backing you want to use
for the puzzle. Take heavy cardboard backing, foam or wood. Fit
the material in the right size. You need some tools to do that
like a saw for wood.
Now took your picture on your backing. Do not use glue sticks
because its hard work, it takes a while to dry and sometime they
ends comes up. You can bye mounting spray at your local craft
or hobby store, its cheap.
Use the mounting spray by following the manufacturer's directions.
Be sure you mount the picture onto the backing really properly.
Lay the picture onto the backing perfectly flat with no air bubbles
left in between the picture and the backing. They didnt look good.
You will now need to cut the puzzzle into small iregularly-shaped
pieces. Depends on your backing you chose a knife or a saw with
a very thin blad. Be slowly with the saw! Dont push the wood through
the saw to fast. Your blade will brake. Work slow and carefully
and do a good job.
At the End you have to cut apart the entire picture, put the puzzle
together to make sure all the pieces fit together. Well thats
it.
With orginal ideas you can help keep your kids or mens busy, entertained
and really happy.
