If this is the case, we recommend finding a shadow box frame, as it should be able to accommodate a puzzle of more considerable depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some manufacturers, for example, make classic puzzles, which are wooden and about 1\/4&#8243; thick. Another site we found has a plywood option for puzzles, which measures at about 3mm thickness (just about 1\/8&#8243;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/puzzle-frames\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/How-To-Frame-A-Puzzle-Steps.png\" alt=\"How To Frame A Puzzle \n7 Simple Steps\n1.

(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springbok-puzzles.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Springbok, for example, claims that their products are 18% thicker than the average puzzle<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We find, however, that the average depth for most puzzle products ranges from 1.2mm- 1.9mm. <strong>In inches, most puzzles probably sit around the 1\/16th depth mark.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the average paper thickness is about .0039&quot; (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/if-you-fold-a-paper-in-half-103-times-it-will-be-as-thi-1607632639\" target=\"_blank\">the average paper thickness is about .0039&#8243;<\/a>, which isn&#8217;t even 1mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While 1\/16&#8243;- 1\/8&#8243; thickness should be well within most framers&#8217; accommodation range, puzzle manufacturers seemingly link the depth of their product with its overall quality, so it wouldn&#8217;t be entirely uncommon to find thicker options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the best thing to do here is to check with the framer you intend to buy from and see what thickness they can accommodate, then determine if their product works for your puzzle needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-fie-callout-box\">Here at Frame It Easy, our metal frames can hold artwork up to 1\/4&#8243; thick, and our wood frames can hold artwork up to 1\/8&#8243; thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-pro-tip-dont-take-the-measurements-listed-on-the-box-at-face-value-\">Pro Tip: Don&#8217;t Take The Measurements Listed on The Box At Face Value. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get your puzzle you notice it has its measurements listed on the box. &#8220;This is going to be easy,&#8221; you might think to yourself, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to order a frame in advance, and then slide the puzzle right into it!&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this apparent time-saving convenience, it&#8217;s always a good idea to confirm as the measurements listed on boxes aren&#8217;t always accurate. Even if the numbers listed are only off by 1\/4&#8243;, it could be the difference whether or not your frame can hold your puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem like an extra step to measure, but it&#8217;s safer than receiving your frame, realizing it&#8217;s the wrong size and reordering. Save yourself from potentially wasting both time and money by taking a few extra moments to measure the puzzle&#8217;s final dimensions before ordering a frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"i-got-my-frame-now-how-do-i-get-my-puzzle-into-it\">I Got My Frame!

Hopefully, after reading this, you\u2019ll be able to display your puzzle with ease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"make-sure-your-puzzle-is-flat\">Make Sure Your Puzzle is Flat <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the step in puzzle framing that&#8217;s akin to plugging in your computer; it&#8217;s the most basic part of the process. But it&#8217;s still good to cover. Don&#8217;t skip this, or you might end up with a less than ideal display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, puzzles have the occasional stray piece that pops out of place. Pressing it back down is possible, but it may cause adjacent pieces that were previously flat to rise up. Talk about a never-ending cycle, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To help ensure your entire puzzle stays flat, use a rolling pin to level the entire thing.<\/strong> This is an easy yet effective way to flatten your puzzle evenly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to make sure everything is smooth before gluing it, too, which is another reason this is an important step. (It would be extra hard to adjust a stray piece if the whole puzzle has already been cemented together!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_005-853x1280.jpg\" alt=\"frames for puzzles\" class=\"wp-image-28832\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_005-853x1280.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_005-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_005-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_005-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_005-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_005-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_002-853x1280.jpg\" alt=\"puzzle frames\" class=\"wp-image-28833\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_002-853x1280.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_002-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_002-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_002-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_002-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Ann-Lacouture-@annlacouture6_002-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"use-adhesive-to-bind-your-puzzle-together\">Use Adhesive To Bind Your Puzzle Together <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Puzzles can fall apart. In a frame. On a table. Just about anywhere, in fact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t have to be the case, though. You can use a puzzle adhesive to ensure it stays fully intact on any surface.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the glue itself (which we&#8217;ll get into in a moment), you&#8217;ll also need something to spread it evenly. It can be as simple as a piece of cardboard, or even something like a business card or expired credit card will do. Basically, anything with a straight edge will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use brushes, the bristle-based variety can leave stroke marks. You&#8217;ll see plenty of tutorials using them, and the end product usually turns out fine if you&#8217;re patient.

Plus you don&#8217;t run the risk of leaving brush strokes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ravensburger-17954-Puzzle-Conserver-200\/dp\/B0000AP6LD\/\" target=\"_blank\">spray-based options for glue<\/a> if you are concerned about evenly coating your finished piece. Just make sure to shake well before using, though! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the type or method of adhesion, be sure to use a small to moderate amount of adhesive \u2014 and to not be too aggressive during the spreading process, as it could cause the puzzle to swell up. Worse, it could cause the individual pieces to fray and peel.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to make sure you cover all the pieces, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We&#039;re All About Puzzle Frames\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8OXLxvWDWCI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-what-type-of-glue-to-get\">What Type of Glue To Get<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned this earlier, but too much glue can cause a puzzle to curl and warp. And it would certainly add, well, a wrinkle to your framing project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This issue becomes more likely as the water content in the glue increases. <strong>The more moisture in your adhesive, the easier it can cause a puzzle to peel and swell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, it&#8217;d be best to use glue with low water content. Mod Podge works well, and it should allow you to move your puzzle with less concern that it will break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mod Podge offers two different types of finishes, too: glossy and matte.  You&#8217;ll be able to tell the difference by the packaging color; the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CS11201-Mod-Podge-8-Ounce-1-Pack\/dp\/B003W0XR8M\/\" target=\"_blank\">glossy finish has a red container<\/a>, and the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Mod-Podge-Matte-Jar-8-oz\/20918422\" target=\"_blank\">matte finish has a yellow one<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mod-Podge-Waterbase-4-Ounce-CS11235\/dp\/B004O7ALNG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">There is an acid-free variety as well, and it comes in a blue container<\/a>. This type has a matte finish, and it might be your best bet if you intend to display your puzzle long term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some puzzle companies also manufacture glue for their products. <a aria-label=\"White Mountain Puzzles sells a glue on their &quot;Accessories&quot; page (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitemountainpuzzles.com\/Puzzle-Glue-White-Mountain-Puzzles\/productinfo\/PUZGLU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White Mountain Puzzles, for example, sells glue on their &#8220;Accessories&#8221; page<\/a>. If you buy a puzzle from them, it might be smart to buy the adhesive they offer, as they likely test it on their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned the Mod Podge brand specifically, but if there&#8217;s a puzzle manufacturer that also makes acid-free glue, that would be just as good. However, moisture and acid content \u2014 or lack thereof \u2014 are the two most important factors when deciding what adhesive is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-what-to-do-if-your-puzzle-curls-at-the-edges\">What to do If Your Puzzle Curls At the Edges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You found your perfect puzzle, spent hours putting it together, measured for a frame, and sealed it using the correct glue \u2014 even one with a low water content. Everything should be great, right? Well, sometimes plans go awry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you got a bit excited during the spreading process and put a little too much glue on it. Or maybe the weather has been extra humid. Either way, your puzzle&#8217;s edges have unfortunately curled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a bummer, but don&#8217;t fret! We can still try and save it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the edges of your puzzle curl, flip your puzzle over and apply another coat of glue to its back \u2014 hitting the areas where it&#8217;s peeling, in particular. (Make sure the adhesive on the front is no longer wet, though, before doing this!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might take some additional time, as you&#8217;ll have to wait for the glue on the back of the puzzle to dry, but it&#8217;ll be worth the wait. Everything should hopefully flatten out once the glue on the back dries. Make sure you also leave the puzzle backside up during this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-what-to-do-if-you-want-to-avoid-glue\">What to Do if You Want To Avoid Glue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You could be a messy person. Things could get messier if you&#8217;re putting together a puzzle with your kids, too. Maybe you don&#8217;t want to change the finish of your puzzle, either, and you want it to be displayed as it was manufactured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glue wouldn&#8217;t be the best option here. Fortunately, there is another way to secure your puzzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This other method has a few different variations; however, it just depends on whether you want to use <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Puzzle-Presto-Peel-Stick-Saver\/dp\/B00E67F3WI\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presto Peel and Stick Puzzle Saver<\/a> or a basic roll of tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s up to you, though we would recommend the former, especially if the tape you&#8217;re using is acidic, which would end up degrading your display as time progresses. Specialty-formulated items are usually the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start this process, however, you would need to apply the sticking material to the puzzle&#8217;s reverse side. This means you&#8217;d need to flip it over. Place a piece of poster board or cardboard on each side of your puzzle \u2014 a piece in front of and a piece behind. (You can also use binder clips on all sides to secure it closed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you do this, flip the puzzle over and remove the back piece of the poster board. The puzzle should still be together if you flipped it quickly and smoothly. (Enlist the help of a friend, if you can, especially for larger puzzles.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, take the Presto Peel (or tape) and apply it thoroughly to the back of the puzzle. If you&#8217;re using tape, make sure it&#8217;s thick. You don&#8217;t want to be sitting there with thin strips of scotch tape, making sure every last area of the puzzle is covered. You&#8217;d be there a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also a good idea to have the pieces of tape overlap each other. It will make things more secure. You should be able to drape your puzzle over a curved surface after doing this, and it won&#8217;t fall apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be sure to note that the tape will add some thickness to the overall dimensions of your puzzle, which goes back to making sure you measure correctly before framing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Frame-It-Easy_Puzzle-Frame-005-853x1280.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of gold puzzle frame with Nancy Drew book covers\" class=\"wp-image-2369\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Frame-It-Easy_Puzzle-Frame-005-853x1280.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Frame-It-Easy_Puzzle-Frame-005-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Frame-It-Easy_Puzzle-Frame-005-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Frame-It-Easy_Puzzle-Frame-005.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"mount-it-on-wax-paper\">Mount It On Wax Paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it\u2019s bound together, however, you might want to add additional support.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is definitely possible by mounting your puzzle onto wax paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mounting your puzzle on wax paper is more necessary if you glued it, though. If you used tape or Presto Peel, that, in effect, acts as the wax paper would, and you should be able to slide it right into the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro tip: Like the tape method, though, you&#8217;ll want to make sure you account for any additional thickness it might add. Wax paper is thin, but any added depth should be accounted for. With the addition of the wax paper, as well as the glue required to mount it, it could end up thickening your puzzle more than you think. It\u2019s better to be safe than unable to frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, once you\u2019ve ensured everything will work, go ahead with the mounting. The same glue you used to bind the puzzle together should also work for this method, and it will keep everything as one cohesive unit. The process of transferring your puzzle into your frame shouldn&#8217;t be too different from that of a standard poster now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"148\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Reynolds-Kitchen.png\" alt=\"Reynolds Kitchen\" class=\"wp-image-1791\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Reynolds-Kitchen.png 975w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Reynolds-Kitchen-700x106.png 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Reynolds-Kitchen-768x117.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there are acid-free options for wax paper, such as Reynolds Kitchens. Its primary use may not be for mounting puzzles, but it also won&#8217;t harm your puzzle long-term. While any other brand of wax paper works, too, it might not be best for archival purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"can-or-should-i-add-a-matboard-to-my-puzzle-frame\">Can Or Should I Add A Matboard To My Puzzle Frame?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"Different colored matboards by Frame It Easy\" class=\"wp-image-221\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/photo-matting_0009-773x515.jpg 773w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not you choose to add matting to your frame depends on a few factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the size of your puzzle\/frame<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the thickness of your puzzle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the look you prefer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important factor to consider when considering adding matting to puzzle frames is the overall size \u2014 since matting adds additional inches to the outside dimensions of your frame, you&#8217;ll want to make sure the framer of your choice can accommodate matting of a particular size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to size, the thickness of your puzzle is a big factor when looking to add matting, as matting also takes up some space within your frame&#8217;s depth. A single mat can add about 1\/8&#8243; in depth, double matting up to 1\/4&#8243;+. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thickness and weight of your puzzle could also impact the effectiveness of the matting in holding it in place. Since the opening of your matboard will be cut to display your puzzle, this means the frame itself might not be holding it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, we recommend Framers Tape to secure your puzzle to the backing of your frame before overlaying the mat on top. It&#8217;s acid-free, and it won\u2019t degrade your artwork. You could try Scotch Tape or some other non-specialty item, but it could be corrosive to your puzzle over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-fie-callout-box\">Here at Frame it Easy, in order to mat your art, the art size plus matting must be 32&#8243; x 40&#8243; or smaller.
