You may remember that my wonder spouse and I recently completed a devilishly difficult 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Now that it's finished we needed to decide what to do with it. Too much work went into it to just cast it aside, and taking it all apart and re-gifting it to someone else just seemed too cruel. So we decided to try mounting it on some special backing that is available just for that purpose.
Once in place, the pieces of this puzzle do hold together well, so we were able to slide stiff paper under the puzzle, lay another piece on top, and working together, flip the puzzle over so it's lying face down. This evening we put the stiff sticky backing on and it's holding together beautifully. Tomorrow we're going shopping for a poster frame and hope to have the puzzle all ready to hang in our basement rec room by tomorrow evening.
And there it will hang until our heirs decide what to do with it. I hope they don't fight over who gets it.
In case you don't remember, this is what the finished puzzle looks like. If you think it would look great on your living room wall just let us know.
