We've been working on this jigsaw puzzle on and off since Christmas. The 750 pieces had been sorted, the border was together, parts of the center were assembled, but it was time to take the puzzle down.
I used blue masking tape to keep the puzzle together. First I tore off a short section of tape. Next I pressed the tape against my jeans in order to dull the stickiness of the tape with a touch of cotton lint. Then I put the tape on the glossy surface of the pieces. The borders are stored in one box, the center in another and the yet-to-be-assembled pieces are in a third box.
When we get the puzzle out next winter, we will hope that the blue tape strategy works.
