Solving puzzles, large and small, can be a satisfying way to pass the time. It's a great activity to do with other people or on your own. Puzzles with one hundred pieces vary in size but are generally slightly more than a foot wide and a foot long.
In this article, we’ll discuss the factors that can affect the size of a puzzle, the time it takes to solve a puzzle, and what age for a one hundred-piece puzzle is ideal. Plus, discover where to find a custom one hundred-piece jigsaw puzzle maker and how to mount a one hundred-piece puzzle.
Different Puzzle Sizes
If you've ever gone puzzle shopping, you know they come in various sizes. You can find puzzles with only a few pieces or thousands of pieces.
The size of the pieces in the puzzle will determine how big a one hundred-piece puzzle will be when it's finished. Wooden puzzle pieces or foam pieces are often large and can take up a lot of space. However, one hundred traditional-sized jigsaw pieces aren't going to create a huge puzzle.
A one hundred-piece puzzle from MakeYourPuzzles is 14 inches by 19.25 inches. Each piece is 1-7/8 x 1-7/16 inches. The puzzles are also made from premium puzzle boards that are eco-friendly.
How Long It Takes to Solve a One Hundred-Piece Puzzle
You can spend days working on a larger puzzle before completing it. However, the more, the merrier–and a few people working on a puzzle at the same time can get the job done more quickly.
The other factor you have to consider is the age of the person solving the puzzle. Younger children will take longer, while a puzzle pro can complete one quickly.
The image on the puzzle can also make solving it more challenging. Landscapes or puzzles with similar colors or patterns on many of the pieces can be hard to piece together.
How to Make a One Hundred-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
Creating a custom puzzle can turn an average one hundred-piece puzzle into a cherished keepsake. MakeYourPuzzles allows you to place your image on a puzzle size of your choice.
First, select from a forty-eight to a thousand-piece puzzle. Next, upload your favorite picture to be printed on your jigsaw puzzle. You can select one photo or several to make a collage. Choose the image orientation (portrait or landscape) for your photo.
You can also customize your puzzle further by adding text or other elements, or try using graphics from the MakeYourPuzzles clip-art library. Finish by customizing the puzzle box–there are more than thirty puzzle box designs to choose from. You can add text, images, and clip art to your box, too.
How to Mount a One Hundred-Piece Puzzle
Your new custom puzzle doesn't have to stay hidden in a box. A one hundred-piece puzzle is the perfect size to mount as a work of art. This is a relatively simple process that only requires a few materials:
-
Step 1: Complete the puzzle and flip it over.
-
Step 2: Apply a thin layer of glue to the back of the puzzle.
-
Step 3: Place a foam board over the back of the puzzle and gently press down. Allow the puzzle to dry before flipping it back over.
-
Step 4: Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the front of the puzzle and allow it to dry.
-
Step 5: Trim any excess foam board and place your puzzle into a frame.
-
Step 6: Hang the puzzle on your wall–and you're done!
The best part about the smaller size of a one hundred-piece puzzle is that it won’t take up a lot of space, so you can create an entire gallery wall of puzzles!
