QuestionWhat is a trick that can be used as a backing material to frame a puzzle? Where can I buy this?Community AnswerIf you buy a poster frame approximately the same size as your puzzle (for about $15), it will come with a piece of cardboard the same size as the poster frame. Use this cardboard to glue your puzzle onto. If there is a small bit of cardboard showing after you glue your puzzle to it, it usually blends in with the puzzle quite nicely and will still look good.

QuestionHow do I trim about 1/2" off the edges of a finished and glued puzzle that is just a little too big for my frame?Tina Aquilino KleinCommunity AnswerIf you must trim it, use an X-ACTO blade and a straight edge. You may have to score it several times. The best solution, to be honest, is a bigger frame or custom framing.
