The puzzle is finished and some pin cushions

 I sit at the table to eat and while doing so I put a few pieces of the puzzle in.

IT IS FINISHED. Now to decide what to do with it…

So, we decided that we would like this to be framed now it is finished. I went off shopping and bought a large black photo frame. Removed the cardboard mat. Painted the backing board black. Smothered the newly painted board with pva/craft/elmers craft glue mixed with water. I covered the whole board which sealed the paint as well. This way I didn’t have to measure where the puzzle would be, given it’s weird shape.

Mmmmmm how to get it from the table to a frame.

EASY. 

I should have taken a photo but didn’t think of it. I was just excited I worked something out…

I ironed a sheet of freeza paper to the top of the jigsaw puzzle. Did a quick test. YES, it’s holding.

Then pick it up and place the jigsaw on to the backing board. 

IT WORKED .

Put my quilting rulers on top of puzzle and a heavy tub to weigh it down until the glue dries.

Assemble the frame.

Put hooks on the wall and here we have it displayed.

I have made some more pin cushions too.
