Fanatsy and Legend

Hi guys I have just started making puzzles from Judy and Dave Peterson's pattern book Fantasy and Legend and can't make up my mind the best way to package the one's for sale at craft fairs , how do you guys do it ? Mal UK

What I do is this. I always have one or two puzzles laid out with some of the pieces not connected so when people come by and look most of them always try to put the pieces back together. The rest of the puzzles I wrap in saran wrap just to keep them together. It works good if you have a puzzle laid out there that appeals to a child. Although they're wrapped you can still tell what they are. With the open puzzle laid out you can tell real fast if someone is interested. Works more times than not. Anyway, that's what I do. Good luck with yours, David

Hi there I think it may be some thing we call clingfilm but not sure???Mal UK

That may be what it's called in your area. Anyway, it does a good job. David

Works for me too but make sure you use a brand that really, really sticks to itself or else you have to tape the package shut. It also works for tray puzzles if you pull it tight enough. I have been trying to find shrink wrap but haven't had any luck yet. Another option that I have used it to put them into zippered food storage bags. The gallon sized ones seem to hold most puzzles.

I do use shrink wrap for my tray puzzles and the animal puzzles that I make.

George I get my shrink wrap form here

All I use is a hair dryer to shrink the wrap and a soldering iron to seal the bag.
