Jig Zone Jigsaw Puzzle Tricks and Tips<\/h2>\n

Puzzles are can be a great substitute to the excessive screen time of video games and TV, this is especially true during this Covid-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic. It\u2019s always a good idea to have a few ideas ready to go for family fun activities that are not screen-time, not expensive, stimulates conversation and can be played indoors during a sudden downpour or any time.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to building jigsaw puzzles (or if you feel like your puzzle building skills could be better, maybe you are looking for some pro tips), here\u2019s our Jig Zone guide to some simple jigsaw puzzle strategies, hints, tips & strategies to help you build your puzzle just like the pros do.<\/p>\n

Before You Begin. Be sure to note our Jigsaw PRO TIPS<\/span> for good advice and some best practices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Find a Puzzle You\u2019ll Enjoy Spending Time Working On<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s obvious, we know. However, sometimes instead of a more daunting 2,500 piece jigsaw puzzle<\/a> a 300 or 500 piece puzzle might be more to your skill level. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. We all love a good challenge but don\u2019t want it to be too difficult that we give up.<\/p>\n

By building your way up to puzzles that are expert level, you\u2019ll have more fun and develop a skill you will keep your entire life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Have a Plan for When You\u2019re Done<\/h3>\n

What are you going to do when you\u2019ve finished constructing your puzzle? If you\u2019re just going to break it apart and stick it back in the box until you move, or share it with a friend that will take far less planning compared to mounting and framing the puzzle.<\/p>\n

If you do mount your finished work, you\u2019ll need to learn how to apply glue to your jigsaw-puzzles before you begin.<\/p>\n

Gluing a puzzle can be a messy process. If this is what you\u2018re planning, be sure to lay on a surface you can easily clean or scrape the glue off of. A purchased puzzle-mat, salvaged cardboard or even wax or parchment-paper from the kitchen will do.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP<\/strong>: These last two, especially wax paper, are designed to keep sticking to the bare minimum.<\/p>\n

We link to some good option for storing or displaying your puzzle.<\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>There you\u2019ll find mats that allow you to \u201croll-up\u201d your puzzle to specially designed cases to help keep everything flat and organized.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of options to create a great work area to assemble your jigsaw masterpiece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Choosing a Place to Work<\/h3>\n

\u2022 A dining room table is probably the first choice for most people. Just be sure that you can lay something under it that is rigid enough in case you have to move it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If your assembly space is too small or you don\u2019t want to risk pasta sauce soaking through your tablecloth and ruin your puzzle. Use small zip bags, food storage containers or anything you have on hand. Often, a roll-up felt puzzle mat is the most space efficient.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Be sure that wherever you lay out your puzzle, it is large enough. The last thing you want is to try to move a puzzle you didn\u2019t intend on moving. Also, ensure there\u2019s extra space for the floaters you haven\u2019t attached yet. A 1,000 piece set can be upwards of 18\u201d x 24\u201d so keep that In mind before you begin. The finished dimensions are usually printed on the box as well.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP<\/strong>: If you\u2019re not prone to spills, you can push your puzzle to the middle of the table and lay a tablecloth directly over your it.<\/p>\n

4. Once you Begin<\/h2>\n

1. Turn all pieces so they\u2019re facing up<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Taking the time to flip all the pieces may seem like it\u2019s not worth the time, but it will pay off later. You\u2019ll be able to see more of the puzzle, colors and shapes and how they fit in your mind even if it\u2019s not completely obvious.<\/p>\n

2. Gather and build the frame first<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Building the frame give you an easy way to begin and slowly start to add on pieces. You\u2019re basically building your jigsaw puzzle from the outside-in. This work unless you have a puzzle with no straight edges. At that point you\u2019re on your own \u2013 but you already knew that when you bought such a difficult puzzle.<\/p>\n

3. Try to Sort By Patterns and Color<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Naturally, with the pieces being so small, you can sort of figure out which colors go together or at least near each other. Ass you get deeper into your build you\u2019ll realize the shading can help lead you in the next direction you should work.<\/p>\n

In fact some of the more difficult designs, which many find practically impossible are not. Create piles of colors and patterns that are not as prevalent so you can work on them separately.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The pieces that are not of the main color\/pattern should be placed in a separate stack that you should use after you run out of your main color\/pattern stacks.<\/p>\n

4. Out of the Ordinary Pieces<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Some puzzles bring special pieces that have differentiating characteristics due to a unique variation such as a color\/pattern that can only be found on it or perhaps some writing that is unique to that section. You will probably have some pieces that have some fun and interesting shapes. Be sure to keep these apart from your main stacks as they it will become simple to see where they go as are in the process of building.<\/p>\n

There are also pieces known as a \u201cwhimsy.\u201d Not all puzzles have them but sometimes they are in the design of a bird, animal or flower.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP<\/strong>: The box is your friend. Be sure to use image on the box to aid your build.<\/p>\n

The Heart of the Puzzle Through the Finish Line<\/h2>\n

1. Pay close attention to the shape<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Jigsaw pieces may come with a large variety of shapes with \u201choles & knobs.\u201d You can probably easily figure out which piece is which, oftentimes it is incredibly obvious when certain pieces just will not go together and also, oftentimes the opposite is true. As you gain experience building your puzzle, you\u2019ll become more familiar with these and other shapes. In time you will be able to quickly discern what fits and what does not.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP<\/strong>: Sometimes a piece looks like it has a foot, arm or leg facing in one direction or the other. Using these terms with your co-builder(s) helps make it fun and easy to participate in. Telling your partner or child \u201cI\u2019m looking for a foot\u201d makes for a fun hunt.<\/p>\n

2. Try to Focus on One Area Whenever Possible<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Trying to randomly build your entire puzzle at once is difficult and can take away some of the fun of building jigsaw puzzles. Focusing your attention to one section, predetermined by color and\/or shape, will help your motivation and show you the progress you\u2019re making. One of jigsaw puzzle builders favorite feeling is going from a messy pile of random parts to a semblance of your puzzle.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Be sure to move any section you have completed to the area where they will be when the puzzle is finished. Don\u2019t worry if you haven\u2019t connected it to anything, a cluster in space is fin for now. Having these segments in their just-about position will help things fall into place as you head towards completion.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP<\/strong>: Don\u2019t drive yourself crazy looking to fit in one piece, put it down and come back to it later.<\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t Panic \u2013 Never Quit or Give Up (H3)<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Sometimes exhaustion sets in. It\u2019s late, you\u2019ve been at it for hours and you\u2019re frustrated. Take a break \u2013 this is supposed to be fun! Walking away for while will allow you time to reset and come back when you\u2019re refreshed. There are (usually) no time limits on building.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Occasionally a piece will go missing. This can be the most frustrating part of your build.\u00a0 Be patient, remember to search for missing pieces in the last place to think including further away than you would normally think (especially if you have small children or pets hovering around you).<\/p>\n

Under the leg of the table you\u2019re working on is more common than you might think. Especially when you \u201cknow\u201d you have not moved, bumped or nudged the table in any way and it absolutely, positively NOT be there – when all else fails, be sure to look there. As impossible as it seems, we have found more than one piece hiding under there after a frustrating search.<\/p>\n

PRO TIP<\/strong>: Don’t be afraid to take a break when needed.<\/p>\n

Congratulations! You\u2019re done!<\/h2>\n

Congratulate yourself for completing your jig-saw puzzle. Bask in the glow of your masterpiece, decide what you\u2019re going to do with it and start thinking about your next puzzle challenge.<\/p>\n

Maybe next time you\u2019ll try more pieces? How about a different shape or a complex design? Jigsaw puzzle building is a fun, family friendly lifelong hobby.<\/p>\n

Keep up the good work!<\/p>\n

PRO TIP<\/strong>: Take a photo of your finished jigsaw puzzle \u2013 You\u2019ve earned it. Even if your intention is to put it on the wall, preserve it forever with a photo \u2013 one day, you may be looking back on hundreds you\u2019ve completed.<\/p>\n
