Beautiful Wendi! I love this! Puzzles are definitely on my want to do list. Thanks for the tips on framing them. Oh my goodness the Marilyn puzzle and ohhhh Elvis! ♡♡♡ Kelly

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Thank you so much Kelly!!! ❤️🤗❤️ puzzles are such good therapy for me. I enjoy doing them.

[@MagicRoseFamily]

I'm a new puzzle addict (the addiction is REAL). We've done 5 or 6 so far this quarantine and it's been hard for me to figure out how to frame them. Thanks for sharing this!! I recently subscribed :)

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

MagicRose Family thank you so much for watching!! I love to puzzle and love to know and connect with other addicts too! Hehe! I hope y’all have a great week!! ☀️

[@bluescity1]

Wendi., your puzzles look like such beautiful pieces of artwork. Maybe one day we will get back to doing jigsaw puzzles. I just need to get the roll up mat. You make this all look so easy. Be care and stay safe. From one Disney fanatic to another, have a magical day sprinkled with pixie dust! :-)

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Puzzling is therapy for me. I enjoy it so much. Thank you so much and you stay safe too. I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far!! 💖💕🤗

[@bellesofcotton8252]

Oh my goodness Wendy your puzzles are beautiful! I know exactly what you’re talking about with the frames. I’ve only done one puzzle to frame and it was nightmare trying to find a frame to fit. You have given me the ‘bug’ again. I’m off work for two weeks so I have plenty of time to puzzle. 🤗

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Belle’s Of Cotton thank you so much Mitzi!! 💖🤗 I’m such a geek. Hehe! Indeed it’s so frustrating when it’s impossible to find stock frames in the dimensions you want.

[@Mandyglen]

Great job )) They do turn out beautiful on the wall :o)

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Thank youuu!! 🧩🤗

[@NixPix]

Thank you for the mention that was very sweet, I need a puzzle so bad and they are none to be found. Ricky operation in two weeks and it would be great to have one to distract me while I'm sitting with him through recovery Live all your puzzles.

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Nik!!! I completely forgot to message you!! I got busy with work and forgot. I went to get the link for your video and it was 140k views!! I was like OH HECK YEAH!!! eeee!! That's so awesome. It will be viral before too long! I'll be thinking of you guys. I have a ton of puzzles that aren't done. I'll happily send you one or more. Let me know! I may have one you haven't done yet. Also, please let me know if you need anything that I can help with from here. HUGS!!

[@NixPix]

Happiness and Sweet Tea your the best I may take you up on that puzzle lol 😂 who knew they would be more valuable than TP now lol

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

NixPix lol 😂 😂 truth!

[@coalminerswife733]

I found tons of beautiful puzzles at America’s Thrift Store, $1.99 each. Good luck!

[@NixPix]

@@coalminerswife733 thanks 👍

[@itsastakesything]

Great video as always Wendi, Thanks for sharing 🥰👍 love them all, Hope you are keeping safe & well, we need a how to do the Video Chapters in your description section video next (not seen that before) & too busy to look it up 🤔🤣 Enjoy the rest of the week , Stay safe 👍🥰🇬🇧🤩x

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

haha! Video Chapters, you have to start with 0:00 in your description, then add the next time stamp underneath it. After 0:00, the following time stamps must be at least 30 seconds for it to create a chapter. Once you hit save, it creates your chapters. 😊 Thank you so much!! I wish all of you the same!! 🤗🤗

[@itsastakesything]

Happiness and Sweet Tea That sounds very easy, I’m sure it wont go that smoothly for us 🤔🤣 Thanks for sharing your KZbin wisdom with us 🥰🤩👍 if you notice our videos start having Chapters in the Description then you will know it worked for us 🤗

[@EccentricNature]

They look great. I'd never do it as I like revisiting my puzzles and doing them again. :)

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Yes. I get that. Not everyone wants them as artwork. I have puzzles that I re-do that I don’t want to frame, and the ones I really like that are framed, I have 2 of them. One on my wall and one in the box. I also have 2 of some that stay in boxes simply for puzzle races with my daughter. Hehe! I’m such a geek. 🤓🤪

[@caraverderosa6519]

Will u being doing the wizard of Oz yellow brick road Thomas Kincade puzzle

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I don't have that one! I did not know there was a Thomas Kinkade Wizard of Oz!😱

[@MrRamook]

As I can see I missed 3 last videos and trust me is not to me..... NO NOTIFICATIONS. But I will watch it all now and full watch. Maybe I will not comment too much on the other two

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I've been having that issue too! Ugh. KZbin has it's glitches for sure. Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great week!

[@CinderAliLovesDisney]

Hi Wendi. This was very helpful. I do think the Alice in Wonderland will work with that blue color. But I also think it would be perfect for Cinderella. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE that Marilyn one. It really does match the tile and looks perfect in your bathroom. 😉😍~Ali 🎀🏰💖

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

It’s like Marilyn was supposed to go in there even though she was done at our house we sold! I completely keep going back and forth with that blue frame. I’m so torn! One or other is going in. That’s all I know for sure. Haha!! Thank you so much Ali!! 💖💕🤗

[@byronchandler5000]

Your puzzles are just too beautiful to frame. You always make me smile when you say my name, and you talk about Cinderella. What makes glue really good for sticking puzzle pieces together? Stay safe, sweetie.

[@lollipopmafia]

These puzzles are amazing! Would you mind sharing how you managed to keep the Marilyn and Elvis puzzles secure in the middle of the frame? I'm hoping to do the same thing and yours look so professional!

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

lollipopmafia I’m so pleased with how they turned out. You just made me smile from ear to ear! Welp, you’ll probably be shocked to know they aren’t secured. The mat and backing are thick enough to hold them in place. They’ve even been wrapped and moved on a moving truck. Wild! I simply placed them on the glass after they were dry. Put the mat in and then the backing and folded the metal back things down to hold it in. I honestly can’t remember where I picked up those frames. It was either Michaels or Hobby Lobby & when I saw them with the black frame and cream mat, I thought they would be great for those 2 puzzles. I was and still am fully prepared to use gorilla glue or that E6000 glue to secure them to the mat if they move though! Lol🙂 But they have stayed in place over 2 years now. Thank you for this comment. I know your puzzles are going to look lovely!

[@lollipopmafia]

@@HappinessandSweetTea Thank you so much for the information! And it's a relief to know that yours have just stayed in place! I've been worried about buying a frame/mat for MONTHS because I didn't know if it would work out and thanks to you I'm feeling so much better about ordering it now. Again, beautiful work, and thanks for the video. Have a great day!!

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

lollipopmafia same to you! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@jaimesteele3404]

What can you use to make puzzle look like a photo without the puzzle pieces showing

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I honestly do not know. I’m thinking it’s not possible. You could try searching for a print of the scene used in the puzzle.

[@DaSmokeDaddy]

Where did you buy that particular glue?

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Walmart. I had stocked up on it a while back. Hopefully they still carry it.

[@DaSmokeDaddy]

@@HappinessandSweetTea ... thanks.

[@Theresa-jq3dw]

Where do you purchase the light weight (favorite) frames? I just glued the little mermaid 😊

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Oh how great! Such a fun puzzle. ❤️ I found them at Walmart, but Michael’s usually has them too. I bought those slide on frame ones from Michael’s because of the sale. Never again! 😂

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

You probably can find them on Amazon too. I haven’t looked on there though.

[@Theresa-jq3dw]

Thank you🧩

[@rek550]

I just started this hobby. I'm worried about the weight of the glass. All my puzzles are 24x30. Will the glued puzzle "bow" out if glass isn't used? I also thought polyurethane spray (or even the brush-on) would work but haven't seen anyone use it. What do YOU think?

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I really don't think it will bow. I had some in the past that I glued just to poster board only and once I hung it up, it didn't bow. You can always get the frames with plexiglass instead of glass and it's really light weight then. I have a few of those as well. I hope you love puzzling! It's such a grand hobby in my opinion. hehe!

[@razorduece2713]

wow 20yrs dayum.....do you use modge podge for your puzzles? I had loads of people tell me its the best one to use for puzzles

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

You know I’ve actually never used it for my puzzles but I do use it for other crafts like dried flowers and canvas crafts. I am sure it does work just as well as the glue! 😊

[@therobinmasterstheory1636]

Great job... so how do you feel about Charles Wysocki? :)

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

TheRobinMasters Theory I’ve actually never done a puzzle with his art. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@dp6824]

your puzzles look good I know you got your ways of doing what you do , me I go to garage sales second hand stores n buy glass frames . I tear frame apart clean primer and paint according to puzzle colors ya puzzles don't ever fit so I do paint background too / I myself have never used spray glue { I do a lot of 1000 to 3000 p puzzles } I buy a big thing of Clear Elmer's Glue { get a big bowl of soapy hot water to clean hands after this } just pour glue in center of puzzle and use one hand get it all on face of puzzle // I do put down wax paper when flipped over then flip back // this works well for me all's I glue is top you don't need to glue back 3 hours later , when I put puzzle centered where I want { 1000 p or even 3000 p puzzle bout 10 inches in center of background I didn't paint usually / cardboard w/ glue and frame turns out great but Like You said everybody has diff way of doing this AND again your puzzles look great good job I love seeing vids like this well put together

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I go thrifting a lot and have never been lucky enough to find frames I can use for my puzzles! This is so great!! I’m always inspired by different ideas. Crafters and hobbyists have the most creative ways of doing things. I just love it. Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️

[@DeeMii36]

How can I order the frame with Peter Pan or the lion king ? I need a frame for a puzzle I completed in memory of my daughter .

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I hope you find the perfect frame for such a special piece Dee ❤️ The Lion King frame is a custom frame I ordered from Art to Frames www.arttoframe.com/?channel=google&effort=Brand&keyword=art%20to%20frames&campaign=G_ATF_Brand_Core&gclid=CjwKCAjw_tWRBhAwEiwALxFPof_vRvXrJEZTHHPD4aG48hGMA8Ww5l7INV8ObdzebHuqkq7RlEWfjhoC8RMQAvD_BwE The Peter Pan frame is a stock poster frame from Walmart www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-18-x-24-Rounded-Poster-and-Picture-Frame-Black/883230?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=3014&adid=22222222421450916370&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=547331341345&wl4=aud-1319366384141:pla-293946777986&wl5=9026884&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=883230&wl13=3014&veh=sem_LIA&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIoruP8sq-KXkv1dMuHkLP42W&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIoruP8sq-KXkv1dMuHkLP42W&gclid=CjwKCAjw_tWRBhAwEiwALxFPocF_TVjC52WxyjfyZZDYhX4wcTNEy5fm88smLh949g4nVz5p2U-D2RoCrE0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@NixPix]

I googled Jigsaw puzzle to try and see what's out there and there you were.

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

NixPix really??!! Wow!

[@Puzzlerfromsweden]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🧩

[@DowntheWrabbitHole]

I've often thought about doing this. Seems a shame that after all that hard work of putting together a jigsaw puzzle, you have to then rip it all up and jam it back in the box. ;)

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I like the challenge and then some of them I want to keep looking at after the challenge. Exactly what you said! 🙂

[@AlphaTraveler1]

OK, my plan is to send you my jigsaw so you can build it, and send you a frame with that too. Once your done, I will pay you to ship it back to me. HAHAHAHA. LIKE #20. 👍👍👍

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

AlphaTraveler1 that works lol 😂😂😂
