Puzzle mat

Keep track of the pieces

It's great to put together puzzles when you have the right accessories, and you can order the right accessories here. Among the very popular accessories are puzzle mats, which make it easier to put together a large puzzle over time. Many of us start the puzzle on the dining table, but with a puzzle mat you avoid having a half-finished puzzle lying around and taking up space for days or maybe even weeks. The clever thing about the puzzle mat is that you put the puzzle on a piece of felt that you can roll up around a tube, and then your big puzzle takes up almost nothing. You can find different puzzle mats here and choose exactly one that fits your puzzle exactly. Puzzle mats are suitable for both large and small puzzles, and you can place your puzzle on a mat that is larger than the puzzle you are working on.

Mats for puzzles

Puzzle mats are often made of felt and help you keep track of the pieces. The pieces you might normally put on the table, e.g. the dining table or on the floor, if it's a really big puzzle you're working on, you can advantageously put them on a puzzle mat. Puzzle mats are especially popular for large puzzles because they take up so much space. You often need to pack them away so they don't take up the entire dining table for a long time. The large puzzles typically have 500 pieces, 1000 pieces, 1500 pieces or 2000 pieces. these are the numbers of pieces that are the most popular.

Deluxe feel

The felt puzzle mats give you a deluxe feeling about putting the puzzle together, and they are rolled around a tube, which can be covered with rubber, so that the felt mat is held in place.

Puzzle mats are for both children and adults, because both adults and children can put the large puzzles, which often take a little longer to put together, and which you often want to be able to pack away in between.

Puzzle sorting boxes and sorting trays

Some other clever accessories for puzzles are sorting trays or sorting boxes. You get 6 trays or boxes in a package, and with the trays you can sort the puzzle pieces, e.g. by color or shape, e.g. as edge pieces in a tray. The sorting trays have small holes, so if you are about to put a puzzle where there is a little bit of puzzle dust, the dust is easily sifted out.

At Butik Box Quiz, we have several different types of sorting trays and sorting boxes. Some are round. In them you can 'drive' the pieces around while looking for the right one among those you have sorted. We also have puzzle trays which are shaped like puzzle pieces. Both types of sorting trays and sorting boxes can be stacked and take up almost nothing, whether in use or not.

Sort your puzzle pieces

Have you tried sorting your puzzle pieces before you start putting the puzzle together? In many ways, sorting pieces is a learning experience. You get a good overview of the pieces, and you get a new insight into the motif before you start putting the puzzle together. When you sort your puzzle pieces in sorting boxes and sorting trays, you look at each individual piece. You will notice more details than you can imagine. Perhaps you are looking in the crowd for red pieces that you would like to sort out. Every time you look at a red brig, you discover a detail that you will later use to put the whole motif together. This particular exercise is the perfect way to create immersion. You will find that you concentrate deeply on finding ALL the red pieces, and suddenly you have an overview of all the red sub-motifs in your big puzzle.

The edge pieces first

It may also be that you sort according to the shape of the pieces. Then you need good accessories for your work. Many people like to place all the edge pieces first. In this way, you create a visual framework for the ENTIRE puzzle. Then you can see how much the puzzle actually takes up, you get a first-hand impression of the thickness of the pieces and with the frame in place, you have already come a long way with the puzzle.

If all the puzzle pieces have the same color

Solid color puzzles are considered the most challenging puzzles among all of us who do puzzles on a regular basis. If all the pieces in your puzzle are the same color, you have to sort based on some completely new criteria, namely the shape of the pieces. It is immediately a bigger challenge, which requires great concentration and especially a good overview. For this type of puzzle, the sorting trays or sorting boxes are absolutely indispensable. The puzzle pieces can be described in many words. The most typical are probably the edge pieces, corner pieces, oblong pieces and square pieces.

Glue the beautiful illustrations

Have you tried gluing one of the nice puzzles that you posted? Many puzzles are just so beautiful that you want to put them in a glass and frame and hang them on the wall, so you can look at them all the time and admire the work you have achieved. In Butik Box Quiz you can buy glue made especially for puzzles. The glue goes completely transparent (it's white when you apply it) so you can't see it at all when it's dry. Once your puzzle is glued so that the pieces fit together perfectly, you can find a frame that fits. The frame can be round or square, depending on whether the puzzle you have placed is one of the square or round puzzles.
The important glue that holds the finished puzzle together also ensures that you are ready to hang up your beautiful puzzle. Have you solved a nice puzzle? Then you can easily apply the puzzle glue with the sponge that comes with it. Get the glue down well between the pieces. There is often plenty of space between the many pieces, and it is precisely that space that must be filled by the glue. Remember to protect the table with paper or plastic while applying the glue, so you don't damage the table and have to start with unnecessary cleaning afterwards. Read the instructions on the glue tube carefully before starting. The glue often needs to dry approx. 1 hour before the puzzle is ready to be framed. When the glue is dry, you can move the puzzle to a new place and put it in glass and frame.

Good accessories are a big help for puzzles

When you've chosen a nice motif for a puzzle, it's great to have good accessories on hand. The right accessories can give you a better overview of the many pieces, regardless of whether you have to start laying 500 pieces, 1000 pieces, 1500 pieces or 2000 pieces.

Home comfort

Coziness at home with good puzzle accessories is high on the list of favorites for puzzlers. The concentration that gives peace, the immersion that offers new exciting discoveries and new learning all contribute to making doing puzzles one of the best investments you can make in yourself.

It's hard to do without a puzzle mat if you often do puzzles. It can be impractical to always have a puzzle lying around and cover most of, for example, the dining table or a large area on the floor. To avoid getting tired of your puzzles, start by placing them on a puzzle mat each time.

No matter how you start your puzzle, the pieces you collect will stay where you put them. Edge pieces also remain lying down, but experience shows that it often gives the best result to have, for example, the 2 outermost rows, or some of them, with pieces placed and gathered before you roll the felt together around the tube. Roll the felt as tight as you can and hold it all together either with elastics or velcro. Then you keep better track of the many pieces that you have already placed, and then the comfort of home can once again spread, the next time you roll out the felt and sit down with the many pieces and a beautifully designed puzzle motif.
