Solving large and small puzzles 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 a one-hundred-piece puzzle is ideal. 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 or foam puzzle pieces are often large and can take up a lot of space. However, more than one hundred traditional-sized jigsaw pieces are needed to create a vast 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, eco-friendly puzzle boards.
How Long It Takes to Solve a One Hundred-Piece Puzzle
You can spend days working on a giant puzzle before completing it. However, the more, the merrier–and a few people working on a puzzle simultaneously can get the job done more quickly.
The other factor you must 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 pieces can be challenging 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 customize your puzzle further by adding text or other elements or using graphics from the MakeYourPuzzles clip-art library. Finish by customizing the puzzle box–there are over thirty designs. Add text, images, and clip art to your box.
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 Mod Podge layer to the puzzle's front 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 will only take up a little space so that you can create an entire gallery wall of puzzles!
The Perfect Puzzle
The perfect puzzle might be one you can complete in an afternoon. For example, a 100-piece puzzle takes 1 to 2 hours to solve. It's also tiny, meaning you won't need much space, will be easy to preserve, and will make a great art piece that you can hang just about anywhere.
