5 Creative Ways to Showcase Your Completed Jigsaw Puzzles
Completing a jigsaw puzzle is a gratifying accomplishment, but what comes next? Rather than simply disassembling the puzzle and returning it to its box, consider displaying your masterpiece in a way that showcases your hard work and creativity. We design our Jigsaws to look like wall art and the anti-glare semi-matte finish means they’re perfect for display in the home. Here are five unique ways to display your completed jigsaw puzzles, transforming them from tabletop activities into stunning works of art that can be admired by all.
. Frame It Up:
One of the most classic and elegant ways to display a completed jigsaw puzzle is by framing it. You can purchase puzzle frames specifically designed to hold standard puzzle sizes, or you can opt for a custom framing solution for irregular or oversized puzzles. Choose a frame that complements the colors and style of your puzzle, and mount it on a wall in your home for all to see. Not only does framing your puzzle protect it from damage, but it also elevates it to the status of fine art. Our 1000 piece puzzles are 50cm x 70cm and fit in many standard and affordable frames do you not need to pay for custom framing unless you want to get fancy!
. Mod Podge Masterpiece:
For a more hands-on approach to displaying your completed puzzles, consider using Mod Podge to create a custom sealant. Simply brush a layer of Mod Podge over the surface of the puzzle, allowing it to dry completely between coats. Once dry, your puzzle will be preserved and protected, with a glossy finish that enhances the colors and details. You can then mount the sealed puzzle on a backing board or canvas for easy hanging, creating a unique and durable piece of wall art.
. Shadow Box Showcase:
Shadow boxes are versatile display cases that allow you to showcase three-dimensional objects, making them ideal for displaying completed jigsaw puzzles. Simply glue your puzzle to the backing of the shadow box, taking care to ensure that all pieces are securely attached. You can then add additional decorative elements, such as figurines or mementos, to create a personalized display. Hang your shadow box on a wall or place it on a shelf to add visual interest to any room.
. Tabletop Tray Display:
If wall space is limited or you prefer a more portable display option, consider mounting your completed puzzle on a tabletop tray. Start by applying a layer of Mod Podge to the back of the puzzle to hold the pieces together, then carefully transfer it to a tray or serving platter. You can then cover the puzzle with a sheet of glass or acrylic to protect it from spills and damage. Not only does this display option allow you to showcase your puzzle on any flat surface, but it also serves as a functional piece of decor for serving snacks or drinks.
. Interactive Installation:
For the ultimate conversation piece, consider turning your completed jigsaw puzzle into an interactive installation. Mount the puzzle on a large backing board or canvas, then attach small hooks or magnets to each piece. Invite guests to rearrange the pieces and create their own unique compositions, fostering creativity and engagement. You can even add additional elements, such as labels or prompts, to encourage storytelling and collaboration. This dynamic display option is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who encounter it.
Whether you prefer a classic framed display or a more interactive installation, there are countless creative ways to showcase your completed jigsaw puzzles. By thinking outside the box and experimenting with different display options, you can transform your puzzles into stunning works of art that reflect your personality and style. So don't let your hard work languish in a forgotten corner—give your completed puzzles the attention they deserve and turn them into captivating conversation pieces that will be admired for years to come
