Assembling a large puzzle is fun at first, and then such a tedious process. Those people, whose hobby has become collecting large canvases from small pieces, reveal their secrets, which greatly facilitate the process.
Instructions
Step 1
If you do not have much experience in assembling, then the maximum number of pieces in a puzzle should be no more than 500. By accumulating experience, over time you will be able to overcome puzzles in 10,000 pieces. Otherwise, you simply won't have enough patience. Also, do not immediately take pictures with a very complex image. Choose large drawings, for example: a boat at sea, a car, a cartoon character.
Step 2
Before pouring out the pieces of the puzzle and starting to assemble it, prepare a piece of cardboard or plywood that will fit the assembled puzzle, because this is a very long activity, so you need to immediately make sure that the puzzle does not move during the breaks.
Step 3
The first stage is laying out the frame. Choose from a multicolored pile of details that go along the edge - they have one or two sides absolutely even. This step is the easiest
Step 4
Then they usually get stumped. Starting painstakingly sorting through the pieces in search of the right one, you will waste a lot of time, energy and patience. To prevent this from happening to you, take several boxes or jars and lay out on them parts of the same color, or related to one fragment.
Step 5
Having grouped the details according to some criterion, proceed to laying out the fragments. Having collected 1 fragment, it is advisable to go to the adjacent section of the puzzle. Acting in this way, moving from fragment to fragment, you yourself will not notice how the whole picture begins to emerge in front of you.
Step 6
Once you've completed the puzzle, you probably won't want to put it back in the box. There are several options - stick part by part on a large sheet, cover with transparent glue or film on top. You can decorate the picture by inserting it into a standard frame with a mat. But, most likely, you will not be able to find a ready-made frame. Contact a baguette shop for the width and height of the mosaic. The cost of such a frame, together with glass, varies from 300 to 500 rubles.
