I gave it a shot, the mod poge was great ( a little expensive but that’s okay)!! I used wax paper and didn’t do a backing which if I had done so, would be better! Done the back wit poge as well! Turned out great! Was a puzzle of the fifties! Thanks again!
I'm so glad you had great success with gluing your puzzle!
My neighbor and I did a puzzle of the Moon and it turned out so cool! She’s 102 and I want to always remember when we did our puzzle! So thank you both!
Oh I love this! I think that's such a nice gesture and a wonderful memory to cherish.
That's a beautiful story. God bless you guys.
@@alexg2083 thanks she’s so cool! Still kicking’ almost 103!!
@@alisoncole3211 That's amazing to hear. I hope there's many more to come!
So sweet!
So wonderful to see you work together.
Kids need so much more of this today
I wholeheartedly agree! We’ve also been getting into board games like Boogle and Life. Great bonding time 😁
I just love mod podge. It seals, glues, and adds gloss. Just great. Great video! Very informative.
Awesome! Thank you!
I find wax paper, neatly scotch taped with 1 or 2 inch overlaps very affordable, effective and available at any supermarket.
I prefer the parchment paper over wax paper mainly because the wax paper will stick to the puzzle and then you have to remove it. This can be very time consuming. Just my two cents.
1:49 for when they start explaining how to glue the puzzle together
Thank you because I really do not like when they talk and talk and talk, just get to it.
*Thank You.... Doing my first puzzle in mega years & needed info on glueing. Great Job Ladies!!!! Ya'll rock!!! Blessings and keep the Fun in All you do. 🧩🧩🧩* Sharon in SC
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your puzzle. I feel like Fall time is puzzle season along with winter time.
You guys are so adorable! Thank you so much I can't wait to glue my puzzle!
Ahhhh thanks! Best of luck with your puzzle!
Very nice… very comprehensive
thanks for this I'm scared to ruin my puzzle and it's literally been sitting on my floor since September
If I can do it, anyone can! Best of luck gluing your puzzle.
Thank you, dear ladies. We are going to glue our first puzzle and your video is very helpful!
You are most welcome! Have fun with your project! I still have to get our puzzle framed.
I glue my puzzles all the time and at the store I couldn’t find the puzzle glue i normally get so i had to get mod podge and you were the only video i could find so thank you 😊
Our puzzles are still holding strong with the mod podge. It works great!
Thank you so much for sharing this will be my first time gluing a puzzle together. I appreciate you ladies.😊❤
You are very welcome!
Thanks! Great video! Also, your dog is adorable!
Thank you for leaving a kind comment! Biscuit thanks you too!
Great video momma! Very insightful and I will be doing these to my puzzles :-)
Wonderful! Thank you! So glad you found the video insightful!
That was awesome 👍 your the best Mom. After watching some of your other videos I bet you could make your own frame. I hope you and your family are healthy and well. I'm hoping we can get back to normal soon but it's not looking pretty out there ☹️. Soon! Let's be positive. 😁 I'm going to subscribe I enjoy your videos and learn a lot. Thanks for sharing
Great jobon the puzzle looked nice. I put a puzzle together couple years back of Elvis. My Dad was a super fan & I also did restoration. I added the puzzle on top of a side table. My dad loved it, turned out fantastic!
That's a great idea!
Biscuit is adorable. 😄
Awe! Thanks! We love him so much!
We pretty much did the same technique but I use an old credit card to scrape the extra clue after I applied it. It came out smooth. We also opted to use a lawn size trash bag underneath the puzzle while working on it. So when I was time to glue it. It wouldn’t get our card table dirty
That is a great technique that you are describing. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for mentioning a trash bag! I have loads of trash bags to use and was just thinking I’d have to spend a few extra dollars on a shower curtain, so yay one less thing I have to buy!!
I loved the introduction.
Thanks for the tips
Glad it was helpful!
I am working on a puzzle right now. I got the Modpodge already and my foam brush. It'll probably take me forever to get it done, but I plan to glue and frame. Thanks for showing us how you completed it.
Excelente bonito trabajo!!!
Thank you for watching!
Finally going to glue this yoda puzzle that’s been rolled up under my bed for a year and a half. Thank you for this great video!
Good luck!
Thanks for the info! Been doing puzzles for years, but never kept one together! I’m gonna give it a go and see what happens !
Good luck!
Thank you great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this!! Subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Thankyou. Just came across Mod-Podge product today. Could you pls show us how to tape the back end of the puzzle ? What tape is used ?
Hi Bethany....your videos are very informative and you do it in a way that keeps my attention, so thanks for all your help. During these times I’ve done every project I can think of around my house. The latest one, I’ve put contact paper on my old Formica kitchen countertops. It’s black marble with whiteish veins. I want to put a topcoat on it to seal the seams and give it a glossier look. Do you have any advice on which topcoat to use? My first thought was epoxy....scary....then I thought about Polycrylic..today I was thinking maybe Mod Podge. Then I came across your videos and thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask you!! Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!!
Hi Paula!!!! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos! I think it's great people are being creative and knocking off their DIY projects around the house. In regards to your kitchen counter tops...how did you adhere the contact paper to your counter tops? You probably already know this but whatever top coat you choose needs to be extremely durable. Epoxy would be a smart choice but it's expensive and takes some time to learn how to work with it. I've only done small crafts with epoxy. Polycrylic while water based isn't the best option for extreme durability. For example, on all my coffee table tops, dresser tops and kitchen table tops I would not recommend Polycrylic. While it does offer good protection it's not the best choice for high traffic surfaces like those. That's why I sand/stain those areas and use an oil based poly instead. I would look into a polyurethane of some sort. You said the contact paper is black with white marble correct? The only con to applying a polyurethane product it may yellow those white marble areas. I know you don't want that happening. I may have to research this some more.
Madeline Jean Antiques & Restoration, LLC The contact paper was self adhesive, so that’s all I used to adhere them to the countertops. They adhered just fine, but I did have some seams that I want to be sure stay down. I would like a glossier finish, but that’s second to making sure the seams stay down. I’m very nervous about the epoxy application, but that is the way I’d like them to look. I painted the countertops several years ago, and just applied the contact paper over that. The painted countertops did great. I’m very careful and never damaged the painted countertops, however, I had a fire and they needed to be upgraded. So I went with the contact paper instead of paint again. I’ve researched google for weeks trying to find out which way I should go and when I found your videos, for the first time I could see light at the end of the tunnel....if you come up with any other ideas, I’d certainly appreciate your thoughts!!! Looks like you and your family are keeping busy while still having fun. God bless you all and stay safe.
informative, got a really big map muzzle
now I know what to do
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for your video. I am curious for glue a puzzle is better to use now podge or clear glue? Thank you
You are welcome! Mod podge is better than glue. Decoupage mediums have more ingredients than ordinary white glue, including sealers and different varnishes, making them better for long lasting projects.
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
Can you explain what type of tape and how tape is placed at the bottom? I would love to try to do this. Also, how long did it actually take to glue it together (sans the speed up) Thanks!!
Yes, I don’t remember her saying she applied tape then there was tape when she flipped it over 🤔
Ordinary clear Packing tape
But when and how did you apply the tape? Did you apply it after the front side with the mod podge was dry? Thanks!
I love the way you did your guy's puzzle with a shower cutting. How did you get the tape on the back of it so nicely his you would of should that being done!!!
Hi Amanda! We have done another puzzle since this one in the video. This time I used parchment paper under the puzzle first. So once the puzzle was done on our table I tore off enough parchment paper plus an extra few inches on each side. Then I wiggled the parchment paper under the entire puzzle. This took a little bit of patience but I was able to pull the parchment paper from one side of the puzzle to the other side. Once I had the parchment paper under the puzzle I applied the mod podge to the front side of the puzzle. Once that dried I was able to flip the entire puzzle on to the shower curtain and applied the mod podge to the back side. SUPER EASY and no clean up!
So, did I miss something? How did you get the packing tape on the back? You put it on before the Mod Podge, it seems. How do you apply it evenly when the puzzle pieces can separate? I'm lost here:-(
Sorry for the confusion. Yes her dad put on the packing tape before hand. Since this video my daughter and I did another puzzle and this is how we managed to apply the Mod Podge to BOTH sides. Take parchment paper and cut off enough paper to go under your puzzle. Make sure to cut off extra paper on both ends by a few inches. You will need to glide the parchment paper under the back side of your puzzle and pull it out to the to the other side. This will take some time and patience. I had to jiggle the paper a little bit back and forth to get it to move and slide under the puzzle. Once you pull the parchment paper thoroughly under your puzzle you can apply the mod podge over the front side of your puzzle. The puzzle won't stick to the parchment paper. Once the puzzle dries you can flip it onto the shower curtain and then apply the mod podge to the back side of your puzzle.
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 Thank you!!
Im currently doing a Looney Tunes puzzle and I wanted to do this so i looked up how and this video was a very great example of how i can do it!!
Glad you found it helpful!
I get how you put the modpod, varnish, all good, But how do you put the tape in the other side before you varnish? will the pieces come undone?
My dad helped me with it we used cardboard and we aligned it with the table then pushed the puzzle on the cardboard. we used another one to put on top of the puzzle so we can flip it.
Koliko ova slika ima komada za složiti i koliko košta lijepilo za puzzle?
So do you use the mod podge matte? Because I have the puzzle saver and I’m wondering what gives the best lacquer the best luster because I have seen on RUclips that people use regular school glue and I feel like it dims the shine
I used a satin finish sheen. You are correct regular glue does dim the shine. Mod Podge or other decoupage mediums are far superior to white glue recipes. Decoupage mediums have more ingredients than ordinary white glue, including sealers and different varnishes, making them better for long lasting projects.
How did you get it from the table to the plastic with out it coming apart
If you go Joann’s for framing, you can always find a coupon.
Great thinking! Michael's I believe always has coupons as well.
Biscuit is so cute!!
Shelly LaRue Oh thank you! He’s so spoiled! We love him dearly.
She needs to explain how she got the piece of shower curtain underneath the unglued puzzle. Also how to stick the packing tape under the back of the unglued puzzle.
Hi , witch mod podge do you use ? The matte or thé gloss ? Thanks in advance
She used the gloss one (based off of the color of the jar- gloss is reddish orange and matte is yellow). Either one would work for a puzzle, it’s all personal choice! If you want a glossy finish use the glossy one, if you want a matte look use the matte! Hope this helped! 😊
Can you please explain how you taped the puzzle? That wasn’t mentioned.
Other than the ease of getting the puzzle into the frame all at once, is it necessary to glue the puzzle together before framing? Also, how did he get the tape on the back??
Sarah Brisebois I plan on bringing our glued puzzles to Hobby Lobby to get them framed. I just figured it’s easier this way. We just glued our second puzzle the other day. This is what I did different this go round. I slide parchment paper under the puzzle first. This took some patience but I was able to manage it myself. Just have to shimmy the parchment paper. I would not recommend wax paper. The puzzle will stick to wax paper. Use parchment paper. Then I applied the Mod Podge. Once dried I flipped the puzzle over on to the shower curtain and applied Mod Podge on the back side. Super easy! No sticking whatsoever.
I've done 15 puzzles and used a sponge to spread the glue.
Good suggestion!
"modge podge" 😂 that was cute. Honestly sounds better than Mod Podge so whatever!!!! 🖤
Haha! Whenever I learn a word wrong it’s so hard to pronounce it the right way.
I’ve colored my puzzle by myself
And now i dont know if wil be admixed with glue or it’ll be like other puzzles
Can you give me advice?
I guess it depends what you colored your puzzle with and how long you have let it dry. Maybe seal it with a clear coat spray before you glue it. That way the color gets sealed in before you apply the glue. Just a thought.
Would Saran wrap work well instead of a curtain?
Saran wrap would be too thin of a material.
I am just curious as to why you are on the floor and doing this on carpet. Why not the kitchen table or kitchen counter since you have protection under it? It seems to me it would be more of a stable and flat surface. The technique looks very easy.
This room was my make shift workshop. The carpet is scrap carpet from Lowes. No worries if we spill anything. Also, this house was a rental and the kitchen was infested with mice. Not kidding. I had to call the building inspector in town. I was never able to use the kitchen cabinets because they were full of mice poop and we could hear them.
Wish i saw this during the start of quarantine my puzzles are missing some pieces now :(
Oh noooooo! That's the worst!
Does clear Elmers glue work better or does the white Elmers glue work better?
I have no idea. I've only used Mod Podge to glue our puzzles together and it works fantastic!
Madeline Jean Antiques & Restoration, LLC with Mod Podge do you add some to both sides or just 1 side? And how many coats of it do you use? And since I’m trying to glue it to a foam board do you suggest using Mod Podge to glue them together?
What kind of modge podge did you use? Everyone is out of puzzle modge podge. I was gonna get the matte.
Wendy Cronin I always use just regular mod podge when gluing puzzles. Works just fine 😁
Try the dollar tree
How did you tape the back?
I"m not entirely sure how my ex managed to tape the back. I did glue another puzzle and this is how we tackled it. I took parchment paper ( found in the baking section at most grocery stores or near the zip loc bags). I tore off a large piece of the parchment paper. I made sure the parchment paper I selected was longer than the puzzle I would be gluing. So if my puzzle was 24 inches in length I cut off a 30 inch piece long of parchment paper. You want it longer than your puzzle. I then took the parchment paper and glided it under my finished puzzle. This takes some patience. Just wiggle it back and forth and shimmy it until it comes out on the other side of your finished puzzle. It will I promise. After the parchment paper is completely under your puzzle you can then apply your first coat of the Mod Podge on the front of your puzzle. Once that side is dry, then you should be able to easily flip the puzzle onto the shower curtain and then apply Mod Podge to the back of your puzzle. I hope this made sense.
How could you do that I’m so surprise I can’t believe what you areDoing it❤😮😮🎉🎉
I had received a puzzle made from a photo for Christmas this year. I have finished it and plan on saving it. I'm thinking, ModPodge the front and flip it over. At THAT time, put packing tape on it.
Hei, can you share the product name . My son liked it and we want to search for it. Thanks.
The link to order the Mod Podge is right below the video :)
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074thank you. He liked the puzzle and we wanted to order the same one.
Perfect, I also did a puzzle 🧩
Katerina Pavlou Good for you! What was your puzzle? We are on to our third puzzle! My daughter just completed that 1,000 piece donut puzzle.
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 Wow, you guys are fast! I had a puzzle on 1500 pieces 🧩
What type of mod podge did you use ?
Just regular Mod Podge.
I did a xmas 2000 piece puzzle. Trying to figure out how to save it to put up during the holidays, bc I put it together on my rug w out anything under.
nyahmanis mommy Get parchment paper and slide it under the puzzle. I did that with our last puzzle because I couldn’t get the shower curtain under the puzzle because it was on this table with edging. Basically it wouldn’t work. Definitely don’t use wax paper because the puzzle will stick and you’ll spend a lot of time picking the wax paper off. Use parchment paper. Wiggle it from one end to the next THEN apply your first coat of mod podge. Once dried carefully flip over onto a clear shower curtain and apply the mod podge to the back.
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074
Thanks. took me an hour to slide 3 big pieces of parchment paper under to cover evenly w out destroying the puzzle. Getting some mod podge tomorrow 🤞 tfs.
Nice to meet you "Hi" i mean madeline
I try to glue it so I can pick it up but I’ve only been able to do it with one and it’s really it’s round so I can spin it and everything
I did a round one too! Of the moon!
@@alisoncole3211 mines hard to explain it’s like a cat with peace signs and many colors
What kind of tape is on the back?
Just regular packing tape.
How was it taped on the back of puzzle? Entirely or strips?🤔
I like the taping in back. Why use glue?
Can I use any white glue?
Technically you can but Mod Podge combines an adhesive with a lacquer. It not only holds the puzzle together it provides a protective gloss finish that dries clear. Regular glue may dry cloudy.
@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074
Thank you very much
I love nh
Did you use a gloss or matte mod podge ?
This was a matte finish. Looks glossy when you apply it but dries matte.
What kind of tape do you use on the back? Did you say 'packing' tape in the video?
Yes her dad placed packing tape on the back. I don't normally do that. I wiggle wax paper underneath and apply Mod Podge to both sides.
Biscuit 💙
Biscuit usually makes an appearance of some sort! haha
Wouldn’t it be better to use a small paint roller to prevent streaks?
Once dried there were no streaks.
Hi Biscuit!
*Woof!
Somehow I missed how they were able to move the puzzle to the floor without it breaking apart. Can anyone help?
I think when Madeline did the puzzle at her dad's, they used tape on the back of the puzzle.
Do you think clear glue works too?
Yes I've heard it works but isn't as strong.
You have a Korean food table
How did you tape the back though?

Shout out to Biscuit!!! Next up.... a video on how you hang it
Good idea!!
I think we’ve already lost our minds...
I have about fifteen thousand old puzzles in my house just taking up space, a little extra money and time on my hands. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
There ya go!
How do you put the duct tape at the back?
Hi Gela! We have done another puzzle since this one in the video. This time I used parchment paper under the puzzle first.

thanks for the video...too bad they don't sell a product that does the same job, but dries with a matt finish...
I agree! Maybe they do?? I should look into it.
Quality time with you children is essential & therefore always awesome to see.
If I may suggest. Two preferred options I'd advise to go with are epoxy resin or craft glue.
1- Epoxy Resin. Glue puzzle to back support (hard wood, cardboard). Keep leveled, raise puzzle & pour resin, it will self level, allow to cure & just like that. Amazing preserved puzzle you can mount.
2- Craft glue. Glue puzzle to back support (hard wood, cardboard or not, it's not absolutely necessary). Use an old credit card, i.d. or any flat edge item to trial the glue over the whole puzzle. Allow to cure & it's as strong for you to store or display as you want.
**Not saying your approach was bad or wrong. Just that these two methods have been proven, that's all. Other specific "puzzle glues" don't hold up or cure with as good of a result. These processes & prices are friendly as well.**
Great job though. Happy New Year! Be blessed 😊
Thank you for the added suggestions! Never thought of those methods as well. So far the mod podge is holding up. We even moved into a new house since this video and had to move the puzzle. It held up even in a move so I was pleasantly pleased with that. I appreciate you comment and sharing your knowledge. Happy New Year to you as well! :)
I thought the resin would cause yellowing on the paper?
Where did you get your first puzzle?
At the Goodwill for $3.00! Couldn’t believe it!
Parchment paper?
It’s found in the cooking section in most stores OR near the aluminum foil.
Roberta athony
Well now I feel naive here I am measuring and gluing down the frame alone and here y'all are just taping it up like I swear I wish I'd have seen this first. I succeeded but that looked way easier.
This method is so easy! I wish you saw it earlier too.
I find using Elmers school glue works the exact same as that expensive watered down glue
If that works for you great. I haven't had much success with it. Elmer's glue isn't quite the same as Mod Podge, it's just glue, and while Mod Podge is a type of glue, it's also a sealant and this has important consequences for durability.
You are beautiful!
Oh thank you!
What? What do you mean tapped? Ugh..how did you put the puzzle on the tape? Its like if you used the tape, why would you even use mod podge?
I expected the dog to roll on it.
HAHAHA! Knowing Biscuit I'm surprised it didn't happen.
I really like the woodglut plans.
No doubt that is durable. I saw a lady just use two coats of glue on both sides. A glue that dries clear.
We've had repeated success with using ModPodge on every puzzle we glue. Dries clear too.
You totally over did this project.
Learning to replace carpet is also a good use of time.
Oh I've never embarked on replacing carpet. That sounds stressful!
Replacing carpet is construction , not crafting.😅 Plus much more expensive.
🤣😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀☠
MOD PODGE not MODGE PODGE. 😢
I'm aware you are like the 100th person to point it out.
MOD Podge....... Please say it correctly. 😬
I'm one of those people if I hear a word wrong (I have some hearing loss and slight stuttering) and I start to pronounce it wrong I have a hard time correcting myself. I knew after I recorded this video I pronounced it wrong throughout. I was hoping people could overlook it.
That floor is so dirty, yikes.
Yikes. It's my workshop floor. It's okay that it's dirty.
Your puzzle is mad mid cuh
Poop
I would consult a doctor about your problem.
