for inexpensive ways to display them. Once I out 1 together I don't want to take it apart.
I enjoy looking at them. But it gets really expensive framing them. Even the cheap poster frames at walmart soon add up. I would really appreciate any suggestions.Thanks

2|2|my dad spreads decoupage over them, and his are framed also...but thinking maybe you could do this twist on things...|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|17:05:04|10/28/2009|
Get a really thin wooden board cut a little bigger than your puzzle. Center complete puzzle in the middle of your wooden board(outer edges of board will look like your frame) and glue in place. Then on the top part of your board on the back side attach picture hook, and wallah your done. If you really want to get creative you can buy wood trimming(like at home depot etc) and glue that around your boarder for a truly framed look. Id love to frame one for my dad using a old window think that would be very cool, especially if the puzzle was of outdoor scenery, and would tack puzzle behind the window glass. How cool would that be? a great conversation piece that no one else would have...I love using old items to create new things, big on recycling.

3|3|thanks for the great ideas! I will try the decoupage. I had the idea that it might warp the puzzle. I love the idea of centering it on a board |merryone|grannytoeli@gmail.com|17:41:16|10/28/2009|
I'm going to try that ,too. I just can't bear to take my puzzle apart after I have put it together. I guess I'm getting senile in my old age!!!
you can't scare me, I have children 4|4|i think they came in the mail... our aldi's TAKES coupons.. guess it depends on the store area..|Jacqui_OHIO|swaptonz@yahoo.com|17:42:49|10/28/2009|
WRONG POST SORRY 5|5|decoupage is safe for puzzles, it will not warp it...my dad uses that on all of his puzzles before he frames them..|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|18:14:49|10/28/2009|
My dad has some neat puzzles he put together, too pretty to take apart. He has a huge one of the last supper, it is beautiful!! 6|6|I agree with your Dad. When I put a puzzle together I can't bear to take it apart.My kids laugh & tell me the puzzles are taking over|merryone|grannytoeli@gmail.com|19:17:15|10/28/2009|
my house. But it makes me feel good to look at them & think I did that!!!

Some are really very pretty so I'd like to turn them into pictures to display but we don't. We do recycle them tho so we either donate them to the thrift store or give them to the nursing home when we're done.
