[@jamiek2671]

Thank you so very much for this video. You saved me from throwing the frames away that I bought. I had never framed a puzzle before today, and I fought with it til I almost just trashed it all. Finally with some much needed guidance from your video, I succeeded, I literally hung it, stood back and about cried from how proud I was to not have given up. I am so thankful I found your video. I am now a subscriber!

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Oh my gosh. I’m so glad you succeeded Jamie! Yay!! 🙌 These kind of frames are so incredibly frustrating. You should be proud!! I almost tossed mine too after the ordeal of getting the castle puzzle in. Lol. Sigh. I’m so glad this helped. Thank you for watching and for subscribing!! I appreciate you. I hope you have a wonderful week! 🤗❤️

[@dulcecruz4701]

Hey! I'm trying to frame mine and I got a Frame from Michaels but mine doesn't seem to disassemble like yours .

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I do not like these that disassemble at all, but I couldn't pass up on the sale. haaa! They are so hard to work with since the puzzle is thicker than a poster would be. I prefer the ones that you only take the backing off and pop the puzzle in and then put the backing back on.

[@emilydennison40]

How much glue do you think you used. I bought a 4 ounce bottle of puzzle glue and used the whole thing on my 300 piece puzzle. It’s my first time ever glueing a puzzle. I feel like I used too much

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

The good thing is it will dry clear! I would have used maybe half of the bottle.

[@KennyxD209]

Hi! I have a quick question. You mentioned that the poster frame that you used are not the ones that you like to frame puzzles. Do you mind sharing the frames that you prefer for puzzles? I'm in the market to look for good frames for my puzzle. Thanks!!

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Hi Kenneth! No I don't mind at all! I actually just did a video showing the ones I prefer. I even took one of my favorite poster frames off the wall to give a closer look and the reason why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2TXloCjdpeUqMU I broke the video up into chapters, you can find the time stamps in the description of the video and in the pinned comment on the video as well and hopefully it will be what you're looking for.

Hi Wendi I just finished assembling and glueing my puzzle ( 21 1/2 x 15 ) I’m trying to frame it and I was looking to frame it in the fat frame that you had in another video that you designed the frame to I believe with stars I went to the site where you purchased them but I don’t know what’s the name of that one . Thank you for reading this 😊

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

That’s a size that may not come in stock poster frames. You can Google “21.5x15 poster frame” and see if find anything. You may need to get a custom frame if you want it framed. Art to Frames is my go-to when I need custom frames. They have lots of frame options including glass or plexiglass for them and sometimes they have good sales. I hope this helps Dee!! 🙂 that fat frame is a poster frame by Mainstays sold at Walmart ( I’m not affiliated with Walmart at all) 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

[@adrianelias2365]

Love that sweet southern accent. I never hear them in California. :(

[@katherinekald7553]

Hi, I appreciate your tutorial. After I glued my puzzle the edges curled up slightly. How to I fix them?

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Katherine Kald Hi Katherine! I’m so sorry that happened. I’ve never had that happen to me in 20 years of gluing puzzles. If you are framing it, maybe it will flatten down when you frame it or try putting heavy books on the edges to see if that works. I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this.

[@RonSeymour1]

I am only guessing but I suspect that you used too much glue. It could have got inside and saturated the cardboard making up the pieces. Next time try applying a thinner layer then after it has dried apply another. It should press out when framed if it isn't too bad.

[@Bgsqlila]

Binder clips might help to put the edges onto the frame.

[@AnnBSlotVideos]

The struggle is real with those frames! The puzzle looks beautiful so it was well worth it! Have a great evening Wendi🤗🙋‍♀️

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Ann B. Slot Videos ugh those frames are rough for puzzles! Haha thank you for watching Ann. You too! ❤️

[@shaunagourlay6115]

Have you ever tried prying the metal rails apart a bit to make room for the puzzle thickness over the paper thickness it is meant for?

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I have not because they are made of plastic and will break instead of bend. I wish they were metal. It would be much easier to manipulate if so.

[@shaunagourlay6115]

Maybe try putting in boiling water to make them more pliable. Make a jig that once heated can have frame pieces out of water placed on to widen gap. Once cooled should easily slip over more fragile plastic/glass/puzzle with out cover.

Have a great day and stay healthy and stay safe

Dough scraper is Genius! I like it.

[@Lukelovesfishingandhunting]

Would I be able to sell them if I frame them using this method? Also, how much did the frame cost?

I’ve never sold my framed puzzles, so I’m not sure about that. This was a while ago. I picked these frames up on sale and they were $8 I believe.

[@katydavidson6256]

If you buy a slightly larger frame, a 20 x 30, the excess brown cardboard ( included in the frame pkg ) looks nice as a kind of matting behind the puzzle and it is so much easier to restructure the frame. I was surprised the puzzle did not need blue on both sides. These in the video look nice tho......

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Thanks so much for the tip! That's a great idea! :)

[@Bgsqlila]

“It’ll dry clear,” it’s already clear haha. I’m always afraid to pour directly on the puzzle because it sometimes leaves the shape of how it was poured. Mod podge doesn’t swap through. But I’m thinking the puzzle glue is thinking and more glue like.

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

the things I say! hahaha. This cracked me up. :)

What other frame can you recommend for puzzle?

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

Mario Perez Hi Mario! I like the poster frames Studio Decor makes where you don’t have to slide the frame on. It’s still cheaper, not as cheap as the slide frames, but so much easier and comes in standard sizes, like 18x24. You just pop the puzzle in and put the back on. It’s soooo much easier!!

With a lot of determination!! Lol. I set it up on table and pushed it down. Whew. Cheap frames make you do hard work. Lol!

[@timlewis2605]
