Have you ever done a double sided puzzle? Would you want to take on this challenge?

[@miguelocampo2120]

hello!!

[@maddie-b9712]

Karen Puzzles I have not done it before but would DEFINITELY try the challenge ❤️🧩🧩🧩

[@darancher919]

I have a Nasa Jupiter double sided puzzle so ill defidently try this!

[@this_fanny]

I haven't done one, because I like to frame my puzzles and I don't want to lose a picture lol

When I was little, my parents had a friend who went to Prague, and she brought us back a couple of gifts. One of them was a puzzle, which she had put together, flipped over, written us a letter on, and then took back apart. So we got to put together a puzzle, and then when we finished, we flipped it over to read her letter!

[@marinabayview]

Wow!! That was really something! So fun

[@NatalieNicole2222]

this is SO sweet

[@natb4491]

I've been watching Karen's videos while working on family Christmas gifts. I couldn't think of a nice gift, so I bought some puzzles and decided to put them together and paint a landscape from their travels on the back. I'll take them apart and gift the puzzles, and the paintings will be a surprise.

[@yokonamigaara]

At first I thought the title was flipping every 2 minutes 😳 that would have been a 'beach' to do haha

[@KarenPuzzles]

haha, there would have been no time for puzzling in between all those flips!

[@giantfishy8249]

Same XD

[@ae5341]

If you had the space you could have set up a smaller board to lay all the pieces out on which you could also have flipped over every time you flipped the puzzle . That way you could always see the pieces for whichever puzzle side you were working on and wouldn’t have to go through the process of individually turning them over every time .

[@KarenPuzzles]

I thought about that, but pieces were more likely to fall out the sides when they were layered on top of each other, and I didn't have the space/fabric to put them all out in one layer 😌

[@clarkkent7973]

@@KarenPuzzles Yeah, you need a bigger table!

[@johnbunyan5834]

I use up to half a dozen trays upon which to sort out my pieces and place them up the right way. Also I have a few pieces of 1/8th inch thick hardboard , cut to hold typical 500, 1000 and 2000 piece puzzles. You seem inundated with new puzzles. They will keep you busy for weeks (:- ). A mountain of pleasure ; with a steep gradient.

[@julypatchouli9719]

I really love coming to your channel. It's such a happy place. I've been disappointed by a couple of my long term subs lately. Bur here it's always a good time, like a day at the beach :)

[@KarenPuzzles]

aww, I'm so happy you're liking my videos!

[@winnichan8424]

Would you like to finish your own puzzle :)

[@HParadoxa]

Everytime I see you having the pieces in the box I think about the last time I tried to puzzle and I discovered after a few days that every night my dog would come and eat some of them.

[@lassliegen]

nooo 😭

[@leahpateric5691]

Your dog is pure evil

[@hopegold883]

One of the fun things about this channel is puzzling out to work words like “beach” into a comment.

[@KarenPuzzles]

You left such a good comment you deserve a trip to the beach!

[@lepotatopotato9418]

beach

[@OOOHBILLY]

Suggestion: use binder clips around the edges. It’s like having several hands. You can then hold it in the middle as you flip.

[@AriolusAzoth]

I cannot stop watching your videos. There's something so mesmerizing about them...

[@mangosplashes]

I loved the water scene. The beach scene looked sooo challenging! Great job!

[@adrizbigG8725]

I can barely do a regular puzzle. I think your great at doing any kind of puzzle.🙂

[@winnichan8424]

Would you like to try a regular puzzle :)

[@HeyItzMe]

I haven't done a double-sided puzzle,but it looks difficult. Also I like the beach,that warm feeling... if there's no wind,I mean.

[@OliverSalzburg]

I'm new to your channel, but it feel like it's like Let's Plays for puzzles. It's a lot of fun to see you solving these puzzles. I still love your attitude, it really sells these videos. Watching them is so much fun. I'll work on a couple of puzzles on my own this weekend. Your videos have been inspiring to get into those pieces! You have a great channel. I hope you have fun with it for quite some time. You're great!

[@fyed1]

I'm a fan of Gary's photography, he gets really interesting shots of beach and water. Love his minimal works.❤️

[@siobhanm4759]

What a lovely channel! In such a horrible time in the world it’s really nice to just take some time to watch somebody just really enjoying puzzling. Thank you :)

[@amwehr86]

A long time ago I did a double-sided puzzle. It had the same image on both sides, but one side the picture was turned 90 degrees compared to the other side. It was definitely challenging! I glued it together and kept it for many years.

[@carolhipple9903]

My "evil" brother gave me 2 of these type of puzzles. Plus the pieces are basically the same shape. I only wish you could shine a black light (or sonething equivalent) on one side to find out if you actually solved it correctly.

[@mollycornwell]

Karen just has so much positive energy and she really makes my day. 😘

[@karenmason1731]

That was fun to watch! I think I would have secured 2 sides with binder clips before flipping since I’d probably have been flinging them around. And then I’d go to the beach!

[@PawzLover]

Amazing video as always. If you want a good challenge try doing two puzzles at the same time and switching every 20 minutes. Laying down on the beach with a fruity drink sounds great right now.

[@p.poirot4643]

Omg I saw this exact same puzzle on amazon last week and I thought ojhh hope Karen review it first.. I swear haha .. conclusion: I want it.

[@dawnpiccolo7044]

Hi Karen! I have not and probably will not do a double sided puzzle. Just not for me. I did enjoy your video though. The last puzzle I put together was Ravensburger's Sanctuary Of Knowledge 1000 piece puzzle. It was super fun and next time I do it my husband wants me to glue it and frame it. Oh yes the beach does sound awesome right now. Oh and from one puzzler to another "Happy Puzzleing"

[@sheilas1283]

That was really fascinating to watch! I don’t think I’d ever do a double-sided puzzle. Too much like hard work. I’d rather sit on the beach! 😬

[@happinessescape]

Ah, I thought “eh, I get it, I don’t have to watch it” when I first saw the thumbnail, but a few days later, the curiosity got me. This has been fun, so thank you. 🙂 Also, I typically prefer to watch non-music videos without sound. Thank you for articulating your speech so well that the auto-captioning very rarely misses.

[@LIMON.LIFESTYLE]

Yesss, another Karen Puzzles to play as I crochet. Told ya I'd start a channel, next month I'll be doing your puzzle inspired crochet sweater! Stay tuned for that

[@crochetingcanuck]

I worked on a crochet sweater for my 3 year old while watching this!

[@melanieandmylo]

I really appreciate your excitement in jigsaw puzzles. 😍 It's contagious. 😁

[@FromTrishA]

It is! I just bought one (but not beaches)

[@AndrewAtoZ]

Really enjoyed this video. Love the 'flipping' idea.

[@therightkindofpen]

Ooh, I like the idea of double sided puzzles. I was hoping that both sides would be of equal quality. Beach!

[@crystald5421]

Another great video Karen, I am so happy it didn't end up on the floor! I do think that a double sided puzzle should be the same quality on both sides. Beachy fun though!

[@SSandtheRVCats]

I also wanted to say that this was a really creative and cool idea that you had with this puzzle.

[@nehchalnarula1545]

Beach. It was a very interesting puzzle. Never seen or done something like this before.

I actually have a gray malin puzzle. (It’s the other beach one.) And my puzzling table is clear glass. So my sister sat underneath and worked that way while I worked on top! It was funny seeing how she would fit a piece into my side that I definitely wouldn’t have been able to get!

[@kikismiley11]

Now I want to see Karen and Katie try that

I have just started coming back from exhaustion syndrome and you have woken up my joy of doing puzzles again, even though i have not done it for several years. Turnes out doing puzzles is helping me regain energy. Thank you ❤

[@Sail0rMvrs]

This is such a stunning puzzle & I love the way you did it! Flipping it back & forth between the two sides! I would love to go to the beach too !

[@lisap8065]

Galison has some beautifully made puzzles (one sided ones - I've never tried a double). I would love to see you do one of the Michael Storrings puzzles. The "Paris" one is one of my faves. He also has one of the beach at Coney Island :-)

[@clickymcclick7924]

i feel like this is such a fun idea. my grandma really loves puzzles and we always do a new one when we visit. i think this is a fun way to *jazz* up puzzle night.

[@Cyberia398]

The entire video I’m practically screaming: get up off the chair to flip! It would be so much easier!

[@kray3883]

I was screaming "push your chair back and spin the puzzle 90 degrees before you flip" since then it would have been flipping the short sides and not hitting stuff.

[@angelbivins5508]

Beach. I love the fact that you try different challenges. You add layers to what can be mundane to watch. You make puzzling interesting.

Going to the beach and watching Karen puzzle - both very therapeutic!!

[@theyxaj]

Galison boxes are my favorite puzzle boxes, hands down. And they're definitely up there with my favorite puzzle brands. There's a puzzle called Naranjas by them, and it was very enjoyable to put together. But I've never done this two-sided puzzle, both because I anticipated the backside-lower-quality thing, and because the ocean and beach design didn't really appeal to me personally.

[@izyanfarahhani2562]

I just found a Gray Malin puzzle with two beach scenes which means a lot of blue! You can tell back from front due to the die cut and one side is glossier so I am going in!

Yay! New video!!!

That puzzle is so cool! I did a double sided puzzle once that was the same picture on both sides just rotated 90 degrees. I'd totally love to try one like this.

hi there...yes ive done a two sided puzzle before ...not only was it two sided..it was the same image on the other side but turned a quarter of a turn. it was really fun to do.

[@TheOakbeen]

I did a Warhol double sided puzzle. One side has a big soup can and the other side had a bunch of little soup cans. I did the big soup can shiny side, but flipped some of the pieces when I was stuck. Put them together and then flipped them back. Flipping and seeing the picture on the back side is really amazing. Loved your beach puzzle.

[@rileymccune6845]

Such a beach-y good time!

I SO look forward to Sundays when I can watch your new video. (As usual, you made me chuckle with your voice over).

[@cathydavis210]

No double sided puzzle for me! Enjoyed watching this!

[@traceyshenanigans]

As a redhead, I'm not much of a beach girl but I do like this puzzle. I have a double sided Monet puzzle that I have had for a long time. It's one of the only puzzles that have survived my many 'I have too many puzzle' purges because it is so unique. I will have to look for these puzzles on Amazon. Also, I have a suggestion for the flipping if you decide to use this method again in the future... binder clips along the edges. I have used binder clips and felt to hold a few puzzles while they are waiting to be glued and I haven't noticed any slippage in the puzzles even with storing the 'puzzle sandwich' sideways. It's like a home-made Bits and Pieces puzzle tote :)

[@KarenPuzzles]

I experimented with binder clips but it didn't seem to make it any more secure than just holding it. But I'm glad to hear it works for storing the puzzles long term!

[@tzarnets]

That was a fun way to do the puzzle. I would have just kept the easier side up. Now that you're done, you should go to the "Beach"

[@JudithARobinson]

I have never been so stressed watching a puzzle video as I was with this one! I held my breath every time you flipped it! I love both the images but really don't think I'd like to do either as a jigsaw - the water side has too little detail, and the detail in the beach looks so tiny! I have done double sided jigsaws before. The pictures weren't as distinctively different as this one. You could only tell which side you needed by the shine/dull finish.

[@alisha6663]

Beach And I really love your channel

[@brianfolsom9799]

I watched this a few weeks ago and then bizarrely found this exact puzzle, unopened in a charity shop for £4 here in England! How strange is that?? I’ve just finished it, on the beach side and it was a challenge!

[@verueblue]

You could do a challange where you have to roll a dice and see what side of puzzle you have to work on! It could be interesting 💖

[@jessh7448]

While watching you flip, I just thought about it might have made it more secure to add clips at each side when you flip to make sure the contact stays the same when you flip. I've been loving your videos lately and you definetly taught me a lot of tips for my next puzzeling session. 😊 Also I loved the details in the beach side at first I thought it was a painting but as you get closer you see all the details

Hi Karen, thanks for keeping us entertained! I was wondering if you've ever tried Heye puzzles. Their images are intriguing and I was considered getting one.
