The greatest thing about making an DIY puzzle board is that they're easy to construct and can get everyone engaged.

We'll walk you through each step of making your own DIY puzzle jigsaw.

Find the necessary items you need

The supplies required for this project include an item of plywood (which can be swapped out with mat board or poster board) scissors, glue stick, utility knife, brush ruler, pencil, and tape to measure.

It is possible to choose the kind of plywood that you would like to use, or substitute it with something like corkboard or mat board (which are often used for puzzle boards) But make sure you select a quality piece. This will be the base of your puzzle, and will come in contact with the pieces themselves. When putting together puzzle pieces, good materials should be solid, flat and free of particles. One thing to bear in mind when selecting the right material is what your final dimensions of the finished product should be. The general rule is that the greater the surface area that you have for cutting up into pieces, depending on the number of jigsaw puzzles that you're planning to complete simultaneously the better.

A piece of mat board or poster board is needed to cut the puzzle boards to size on it. Scissors, glue sticks and brushes are needed to cut and glue down tiles. A knife for utility is required for cutting the mat board into size.

A power drill is just one of the tools required to create the DIY puzzle board.

Cut and cut your piece

Once you've cut the piece of plywood (or any other surface you're working on) sketch out the location the pieces will be placed using a pencil. If you have to alter the size of the pieces you've chosen, it's simpler to do it on paper than to move them once they've been cut. It's best to draw the boundaries of each jigsaw puzzle, and also include an area where all pieces are mixed together. This ensures there are very few repetitions within a single space. For example, picture a normal rectangular shape underneath. This could be done with a rectangle that is divided into fours and eights. The idea is that every piece of a puzzle is in its own space, whilst the spaces in between are spaces for pieces that are part of other puzzles. Once you've set your boundaries, it is time to begin.
