rose m: What are some ideas of how to put a puzzle on the wall without framing it?
Frames are expensive and hard to find for such strange puzzle sizes so can anyone help me find a creative way of hanging a puzzle without a frame. PS. I have already glued the puzzles and everything.

glue it to a board and put one of those adhesive picture hooks onto the back.
I did it that to a puzzle I made years ago and then I simply put small holes in the corners and ran fishing line through them and hung it on a nail. Worked like a charm 🙂 If you use a needle to poke the holes you cant even tell they’re thereAnswer by Dunbar Pappy ÏŸÏŸ
A piece of thin, clear Lexan, cut to fit past the puzzle edges by 1/2″ or so; then drill and screw that into the wall should provide stability.
Lexan is pretty cheap…find @ Home Depot etc.Answer by Luby Loo
I would glue the puzzle to a canvas, then hang the canvas. You can find really cheap ones at wal-mart or even the dollar store!! Hope this helps!Answer by c_kayak_fun
Art supply stores sell a set of bracket clamps that attach top and bottom to a sandwich you make with your art (the puzzle) in the middle and a piece of cardboard behind and a piece of glass in front. The clamps keep them tight together and have a hanging slot in the top bracket to fit over a nail or picture hanging hook on the wall. They used to be called “gallery brackets” and we used them to hang our drawings for gallery shows when I was in art school. You can get glass cut to order very cheaply at a hardware store or just look for ugly cheap frames in a thrift store that have the right size glass — buy the frame, take out the glass to use for your art and throw the frame away.
But then maybe you can find a frame at a Goodwill or yard sale that you could use for the puzzle too. A paint job can do wonders for an old frame.
