Introduction

Solving a jigsaw puzzle can be a great stress buster and give you a great sense of achievement when you complete it. The charm gets bigger when you have a big puzzle with about 1000 to 5000 pieces. According to Matthew Davies, many people wonder what they should do with their puzzle once they complete it. There a lot of things that you can do with a completed puzzle and they are listed below:

The Ideas

1. Make a video - You get a big jigsaw puzzle of maybe around two thousand pieces. Before embarking on the journey to complete it, you can record it and later save it as a time-lapse video. Share it on social media and let the compliments pour in. It can give you immense satisfaction and encourage you to buy a bigger one.

1. Frame it - Finally, you have completed a jumbo size puzzle. It has taken you a lot of time and effort and you feel a sense of pride after its completion. You definitely don't have the heart to break it. The best way to preserve this feat is to glue the pieces together and get it framed. Hang it in your room. It would be an added bonus if the puzzle is a landscape or a portrait. It will look like an art piece for your home.

1. Store it - Some puzzles are fun to solve. You may have completed it once, but you can’t detach yourself from it. Store it in a box and keep it away for a long period of time. Open them maybe after a year and challenge yourself to complete it within a given time frame. This would be definitely more challenging and exciting than the first time.

1. Donate it or swap it - If you still can’t understand what to do with your completed puzzle, donate it to a nearby library, childcare center, or a school. There are many people who would look forward to putting their minds to work in solving such puzzles. If you are craving for some more puzzles but don’t intend to spend money, simply swap it with a friend who shares the same passion.

1. Host a Puzzly Party - Once you have enjoyed completing the puzzle, you might crave for more. Make a group of like-minded people and plan to meet frequently. You can start the chain by hosting a ‘Puzzly Party’ where you can get some puzzles and ask others to bring their own. Swap among yourselves and start a challenge of completing puzzles with a timer. Besides increasing your concentration and social circle, it can be great fun too. Post the pics on social media and encourage others to do the same. Who knows, you might become the founder of a Puzzly Party chain in your town!

Conclusion

According to Matthew Davies, solving puzzles is a fun way to challenge your mind and keep your brain sharp. Plus, it's a great way to spend some idle time.
