Puzzle framing and hanging<\/h2>\n<p>  Have you finally finished your puzzle, but now it&#8217;s rather in the way?<br \/>\nOften you don&#8217;t want to just take it apart and put it back in the box.<br \/>\nAlso, is the picture beautiful enough for you to hang it on your wall as a work of art? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/hoe-kun-je-je-puzzel-inlijsten\/\">Then frame your puzzle<\/a>! There are special frames made for this that will allow you to keep your puzzle looking great.<br \/>\nFirst, use special <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/puzzels\/puzzellijm\/\">puzzle glue<\/a> to really make it a whole.<br \/>\nThen you can frame your masterpiece neatly.<br \/>\nJust make sure you choose the right frame!       <\/p>\n<h2>2. Use puzzle mats or storage trays<\/h2>\n<p>  If you don&#8217;t want to just take your puzzle apart, but also don&#8217;t necessarily want to frame it, special storage systems are designed for this!<br \/>\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/puzzels\/puzzelmatten\/\">puzzle mat<\/a>, for example, is ideal for this.<br \/>\nBy making your puzzle on this or putting it on here later, you can easily roll up your puzzle and store it.<br \/>\nThat way you don&#8217;t have to take it apart.<br \/>\nThe beauty of this is that you can always choose to frame it later on.<br \/>\nBut you can also easily store an unfinished puzzle in this way.<br \/>\nThere are also puzzle boards and plates.<br \/>\nThese are also incredibly handy storage systems.<br \/>\nThey actually have exactly the same function as a puzzle mat, but they provide a hard surface.<br \/>\nSo you can&#8217;t roll these plates and boards up, but you can move them around easily.<br \/>\nIn addition, they often offer additional drawers for storing and sorting pieces.            <\/p>\n<h2>3. Use sorting bins and sorting boxes when your puzzle is unfinished<\/h2>\n<p>  Are you not done with puzzles yet, but would like to store them?<br \/>\nThen use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/puzzels\/sorteerders\/\">sorting bins and sorting boxes<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe bins are easy to stack and thus easy to store.<br \/>\nThey also often come with lids, so you can&#8217;t just lose the puzzle pieces.<br \/>\nSorting boxes basically have the same function.<br \/>\nHowever, the difference with the bins is that this is one piece with several compartments.<br \/>\nThis allows you to sort the pieces easily.        <\/p>\n<h2>4. Store the box in a place where it won&#8217;t bother you<\/h2>\n<p>  This may go without saying, yet it doesn&#8217;t happen very often.<br \/>\nThe puzzle boxes are often stored in places in the house where they don&#8217;t need to be at all.<br \/>\nYou can already easily create space by storing the puzzle boxes in the shed, for example.<br \/>\nAnother good place is even under the bed.<br \/>\nHere you often have enough space where nothing is in the way.      <\/p>\n<h2>5. Throw away the box and store the puzzle in something smaller<\/h2>\n<p>  People generally prefer not to throw away the box.<br \/>\nReason for this is that you can use the image of the puzzle as an example.<br \/>\nBut this can be done differently!<br \/>\nKeep the puzzle pieces, for example, in a sturdy resealable bag.<br \/>\nNow you may be thinking &#8220;but how should I put the puzzle together?&#8221;.<br \/>\nThere are several things you can do for this.<br \/>\nYou can simply take a picture of the box to see the example from phone next time.<br \/>\nBut you can also just use the Internet!<br \/>\nThe image is actually always available anywhere on the Internet.<br \/>\nPrefer not to read it from a screen?<br \/>\nPrint it out.<br \/>\nThen you can also fold this printout and keep it in the bag with the rest of the puzzle pieces.             <\/p>\n<h2>Additional tips for storing your puzzles<\/h2>\n<p>  To properly store your puzzle, we have some additional tips!<br \/>\nFirst of all, always make sure you label the bags and boxes.<br \/>\nThat way you know what kind of puzzle it is.<br \/>\nYou usually can&#8217;t tell from the pieces alone whether it&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/puzzels\/jumbo\/\">Jumbo puzzle<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/puzzels\/heye\/\">Heye<\/a> one.<br \/>\nFurthermore, it is important that you store your puzzle in a place where it is dry.<br \/>\nIn some houses it can be too damp in your bedroom under your bed.<br \/>\nIf you want to start puzzling, your puzzle is completely rotten and no longer of any use.<br \/>\nSo pay attention to where you store your puzzle!       <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are your puzzles also in the way and you don&#8217;t know the best way to store them?<br \/>\nOr have you just completed your puzzle and don&#8217;t want to take it apart, but would like to put it away?<br \/>\nWe give you &#8230; tips for storing your puzzle in the perfect way!<br \/>\nThat way it won&#8217;t be in the way anymore.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4255,"featured_media":470595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_improvement_type_select":"improve_an_existing","_thumb_yes_seoaic":false,"_frame_yes_seoaic":false,"seoaic_generate_description":"","seoaic_improve_instructions_prompt":"","seoaic_rollback_content_improvement":"","seoaic_idea_thumbnail_generator":"","thumbnail_generated":false,"thumbnail_generate_prompt":"","seoaic_article_description":"","seoaic_article_subtitles":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[3116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-480177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-puzzels-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4255"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480177"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":493910,"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480177\/revisions\/493910"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=480177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.speedcube.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
