How to Make a Puzzle Board

If you are thinking of making your own puzzle board, here are a few tips and ideas. The board must be 75x52cm, have at least two 1 square meter felt pieces, and be made of a sturdy material. To make the board, first measure the piece size and cut the felt accordingly. Then, use a spray contact adhesive to adhere the felt pieces and board together. Once the pieces are attached to the board, you can start assembling your puzzle.

To keep your puzzle pieces in order and neat, create a storage unit for them. Having a storage unit for puzzle pieces will free up table space for other activities. It will allow you to work on a puzzle from multiple locations without being bothered by clutter. Also, you can store puzzle pieces in a photo box. Make sure the box is made of sturdy material and contains a complete picture so that you can easily identify the contents.

Size of drawers

The size of the drawers on your puzzle table will depend on the amount of wood you’ve got. If you’re using a wide pine board, you might want to consider making the first four puzzle drawers wider. Then, you can use a jigsaw to cut the remaining pieces into strips about one inch thick. When making the puzzle drawers, use short brad nails or small nails with a hammer.

Sturdiness

A puzzle board’s durability should be a priority when you’re shopping for one. There are many different types and features to consider. You should look for a durable board that’s lightweight and easy to move from one location to another. If you’re purchasing a portable puzzle board, consider whether the board is lightweight or not. Plastic and cardboard puzzle boards are lightweight and portable, and are both sturdy.

Using a Jigboard

If you are an avid jigsaw puzzler, you might be interested in learning about a simple tool called a jigboard. Jigboards are small boards with raised edges. These boards can easily be moved from room to room, and they are lightweight enough to rest on a knee. In addition to the Jigboard itself, jig boards often come with a jig mat. This piece of fabric/waterproof plastic combination is the perfect mat to cover your Jigsaw when not in use, protecting it from spills and dust. If you have a pet, you will want to get a mat for your Jigboard to keep it from getting destroyed.

Conclusion

If you haven’t used puzzle glue before, it is a simple process. First, lay out the pieces on a surface that you don’t mind getting glue on. This could be wax paper, cardboard, or foam board. Press down the puzzle with books or a rolling pin to get it flat. After the puzzle is flat, brush off any dust that has settled on the surface. Once the pieces are dry, attach the puzzle glue.
