You've found the right place if you want to save a jigsaw in progress. This article will explain how to use Edges Only buttons to save your puzzle. Then, you'll find out how to mount it on a backing board and frame it, or use Mod Podge to preserve it.
Use the Edges Only button in order to save a puzzle.
When you're done solving a jigsaw puzzle, you can save it by clicking the 'Edges Only' button. This will display the edges and joins of the pieces. This feature can be used to save the puzzle at any moment. A timer will be displayed on the saved puzzle, which will show the amount of minutes, seconds and hours since the beginning of the puzzle.
You can also choose multiple pieces at once. This will highlight them, and save them as one. Another useful feature is the "Snap Indicator", which will appear when two puzzle pieces are close enough for them to snap together. You can save a puzzle by clicking the Snap Indicator but not by saving it. Instead, select the pieces one at a time.
Mounting a puzzle on a backingboard or frame
Mounting a saved puzzle involves several steps, including selecting a mounting board and choosing the frame. Once you have saved the puzzle, select a frame and then decide which size will work best for your puzzle. Most frames have catches at the back, which will hold the puzzle between glass and cardboard. You can find inexpensive frames at secondhand stores. Measure the length of your mounting boards.
Clear box frames are great for framing puzzles. These are often found in craft and framing stores. Another option is to use a non-glue mount board. You will need it to dry for at least 24 hours before it can be mounted.
You must attach the puzzle to the board after mounting it. As long as the piece is not larger than the backing board, you can use wax paper or foam. Also, ensure it has all pieces. Once the backing frame or frame is completed, place the puzzle pieces on it. It can be weighed down by placing items on top to make it more stable while it dries.

Mod Podge is a fun and effective way to preserve your jigsaw. It's a great glue, sealer, and finish. It can also be used to create shiny or matte effects for your puzzle. Mod Podge also comes with three different sheens.
A popular brand for crafts and decoupaging, Mod Podge is also excellent for preserving jigsaw puzzles. This glue uses adhesive and lacquer to produce a protective glossy finish. It is thicker and more durable than regular Mod Podge. However, it has the same clear finish. It's safe to be used on cardboard.
The glue is sold at all U.S. Walmart and craft shops. It can be used for medium to large puzzles. The product dries quickly and is non-toxic and water-base, making it an excellent option for puzzle preservation.

How To
How to begin gardening
Gardening is one of the oldest forms of agriculture. It requires patience, persistence, and determination. The first step to starting a garden is to pick a spot where you will grow food. It could be large land, or just your backyard. Next, decide what type of plants you want to grow. Do you prefer vegetables or flowers? Some people love to grow herbs, while others enjoy raising animals like rabbits. You should consider how much space you have available before deciding what types of crops you plan to plant. If you live in a region that experiences cold winters then it is possible to grow fruits and berries.
Once you have selected the plants you wish to plant, you should prepare your soil. Your plants' success or failure will depend on the soil they are placed in. Good quality soil contains organic matter that helps feed your plants' roots. Organic matter is made up of leaves, twigs grass clippings, manure and compost. After you have prepared the soil, you will need to add nutrients. You will need different amounts of nutrients depending on which type of plants are being grown. An online fertilizer calculator can help you calculate these values. There are many fertilizers available so be sure to know what you are purchasing.
Now you need to wait for the seeds to germinate. This process usually takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months, depending on the weather and the temperature in your area. After your seeds sprout, it is important to water them frequently. Too much or too little water can cause problems. Avoid overwatering your plants. Overwatering can lead to root rot and fungal diseases. Consider that plants generally need less water in the warmer months than they do in winter. Remember that some plants require drying out after being watered. Tomatoes, for example, need to be kept moist but not too wet. They are not happy to be in soggy soil. After plants finish flowering, they need to go dormant. When plants stop producing new growth, they go dormant and start storing energy for next season's harvest. Dormancy occurs when the plant stops sending signals that tell its roots to produce food. Throughout this period, the plant stores energy. Plants will soon die if they are exposed to too much or too cold temperatures.
Living in urban areas may restrict the types of plants you can plant. Urban areas tend to contain concrete sidewalks, roads, buildings, and parking lots that block sunlight from reaching the ground. Concrete absorbs sunlight and blocks the soil below from receiving adequate sun exposure. Because of this lack of sunlight, many plants cannot survive in cities. However, many plants can still thrive in urban environments. Many trees, shrubs and perennials can thrive in urban environments. In addition, many annuals can be grown indoors in containers. You can have fresh greenery all year round with container gardens.
Now you're ready to plant.
