Had this same idea! I’m missing pieces on a vintage puzzle, it’s a complicated image and I’m no artist. Using your phone and zooming in on the details is really helpful and id never have thought of it . 🙂
I had the same idea for fixing a missing piece in the puzzle I finished this week! It's fun that someone else has done it. Looks great, too! Also, I have that same fish puzzle! We did it last year, and it fortunately had all the pieces : )
Thank you so much! I was very sad when my puzzle was missing a piece as I bought it to later frame it and hang it and this has made me feel better as I have polymer clay already in my house! :)
I tried this with polymer clay from Kmart, but the clay stuck to the glass underneath it... put a layer of greaseproof paper on top of the glass, but it stuck to that too. Using a glass as a roller, it stuck to that as well!! 😫🤔 I sprinkled baking soda top and bottom, no more sticking 🥳. You could also use baby powder or corn starch.
If you put the whole thing into the refrigerator for a couple minutes to harden clay the pieces would come off a lot easier but thank you so much for this I’m going to use this
Thank you soooo much for this. I never in a million years would have though to use clay. As an alternative to painting, you may also be able to scan the box, size the missing piece, and print it out on shiny paper.
The pieces should be FACE DOWN on a hard flat surface. Tape them with scotch tape. Now stuff the hole with the putty. Wait a day. The surface will be automatically flat. And just flick away thin excess.
Beautiful job!! I slide a piece of cardboard under the "hole," trace around the missing piece, remove cardboard, color and cut out carefully. Not at all as perfect as yours but it's better than a missing piece.
Why don’t you just print a piece of the picture and glue it to the piece you just made? Maybe that will help those that don’t paint well. Thanks for the video.
When I did a new puzzle piece I did not worry about exact duplication of the image in that spot. I used acrilic and dabbed on a rough representation of the coloring in the area. and your eye could not perceive it from s few feet away. I had to look for that new piece.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for this video! Soon I’m going to try that. It seems that I will have a missing piece in the 2000 piece puzzle I’m working on.
Thanks for the video. I did not have putty, so I used chewing gum...of course after it was chewed and it worked perfect. Thanks for the idea!
This is fantastic! I will probably do this in the future. 👍
Great:) Thanks
WOW!!
Ravensburg puzzles don’t send replacement pieces I’m so sad !!! I lost 2 pieces to my 1550 puzzle . I’m going to try this method thanks !!
Haha I did it and it worked beautifully! Thank you so much for posting :)
😊It is nice to hear that😄☺ We are happy that we helped you💑

Super clever!!! Well done 👍thank you for sharing.😊
Thank you😊
thank you for this video... my puzzle 6000 pieces but i lost 1 piece... thanks for the idea...
6000 pieces and 1 is missing... that is so sad :(
Omg how long did it take to make a 6000 piece
Beautiful job!! I slide a piece of cardboard under the "hole," trace around the missing piece, remove cardboard, color and cut out carefully. Not at all as perfect as yours but it's better than a missing piece.
Thank you
Or you put it in bits by bits until its full
This is amazing, I'm going to try using plastic icing.

How long should you leave the puzzle pieces in the fridge before you disassemble it?
Until it gets hard so about 1 hour or you can check it in half an hour.
What kind of paint did you use?
He used acrylic paint from a craft store or walmart you can get any color that you need
We used Acrylic colors.
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻💕
Thank you💕😊
Hi there, what material are you using for it?? thxxx a lot in advance
It is a clay.
Awesome video!
Nice job
You cant even tell!
Why not just start with less than required and add more?
And most companies will send replacement pieces.
thanks, but i make the pieces with 3d printer, its very simple ( 200 euro 3d printer)
Wow, smart idea!
Very smart idea, great:)
@@DTSmileLove thank you!
We can't all afford a 3d printer. So this is a much more cost effective alternative for a quick fix.
@@makeupunderaminute521 yes sure, i just said my idea =))
Great video. Slightly different than the way I fixed my puzzle - ua-cam.com/video/UgeF7Kvg2Eo/v-deo.html
