The thing is, directly drawing on an uneven surface like that isn't very convenient, it's easier to send your art to a company that makes puzzles with custom pictures, it'd have the proper finish that way too. A lot of photo printing businesses do that for example. But, of course you could also directly draw on one if you really wanted to, it might have a cool handmade feel to it
You kids are so quick to start a petition for something. How about you use another word that ends -ion.. commission. Pay somebody to make the thing you want instead of starting an asinine petition
part of my job at an antique-flipping ebay company was sitting at a table and putting together vintage puzzles to see if any of the pieces were missing or damaged. was quite fun! this reminded me of that lol
@@usernameisusernam aw man, i wish it still existed. it was called estate auctions inc., but i’m pretty sure the company shut down (plus the boss wasn’t that nice 😬 they were not very smart with how much they spent on items they flipped). i did odd jobs around the warehouse, the puzzles but also organizing books and magazines, cleaning tobacco residue off of furniture, repairing broken items, polishing silver, fixing together old letters (we got one in from alexander hamilton one time!), reframing paintings, etc. was a cool job and i recommend finding auction houses local to you if you’re interested in similar! edit: OH! my job was doing all of that, but my mom worked at the same company and her job was to research artists and historical items to gauge their value and write descriptions for the items. so if you ever wonder who does that and how those descs and price tags come about, that’s a cool job too :)
My mother used to manage a thrift shop. She had a regular customer who would buy puzzles, do them, and then re-donate them back to the shop after she was done. Once my mum realised what she was doing, she stopped charging the lady for the puzzles. Said the lady could just take them and return them when she's done. It worked out well, because she was then able to tell my mum if any pieces were missing or damaged. It was just a nice little system that benefited everyone
The dollar tree sells 500 piece puzzles so if you really want to draw on a puzzle you can for $1.25. Plus you get a cozy afternoon putting together a puzzle in addition to drawing on the back and putting it together again backwards.
The 350 piece puzzles they sell are better quality and have a variety of piece shapes instead of all standard. Puzzlebug Deluxe 350, they're genuinely awesome for $1.25.
No one said it was printed on both sides. Shes saying they printed it on "the wrong side". Meaning they printed it on the flat part of the cardboard not the part that its usually printed on. Where did you get that its printed on both sides from?
@@anastasialove4184 "I managed to flip it over and now we have a perfect jigsaw puzze blank with no like paper glued to the top" all what the person said was that all the puzzles in their country were blank on the back side.
Yeah, all puzzles are blank on the back. But what she means is that the factory accidentally printed it on the wrong side of the cardboard. The back of a puzzle is usually flatter than the front, so it can sit better on the table. This puzzle was accidentally printed on the "wrong" side, so that it's blank if you flip it over to the correct side.
My sister-in-law prepared a surprise date with my brother, where the first step was to put together a puzzle, and she had written a message for him on the back. I think it is a lovely idea for hopeless romantic puzzle lovers 😊
I've got a Disney puzzle with the same image on both sides but one is sideways from the other; one of those collage pics of the characters in one pose repeated over and over. With the basic grid cut the pieces could fit in multiple places. It took months to put it together so both pics were perfect.
As somebody who has a lot of old vintage puzzles from my grandmother. that is just what the cardboard on Old puzzles looks like it is not printed backwards
reminds me of the time i made a puzzle for my thenboyfriend nowhusband for a birthday presnt bought a super cheap hellokitty puzzle assembled it, painted over it then broke it apart and threw it back into repainted box
Valuable for only as long as you are alive, if you don’t plan to sell it now then enjoy life and draw on it!!!! You only live once. Memories are meant to be made. ❤
Not printed, just after the printed sheet glued to the cardboard, they die cutted from the non printed side. Maybe you have a rare accident and a very very expensive set from this! Be careful before ruin it!
Pretty sure she knows how puzzles work, she literally produced two of them 😂 I think she means printed like patterned, not that they print the picture on afterwards
@@sianmilne4879 The company I work for makes puzzles and board games. @tilitoli is right, they in fact just put the puzzle in the wrong way, resulting in the picture being "on the bottom" of the puzzle.
I wonder if this copy was actually a misfeed in the cutting machine. If the puzzle was fed in upside down, that could make this example all the more valuable.
Because of the way puzzles are cut the pieces are usually rounded on the front and flat on the back. On this puzzle this case they put the image on and then cut it on the wrong side. so the picture is on the flat side not the rounded side. So the image is printed on the “back” of the puzzle.
Vintage Puzzle Tip: You can keep your puzzle safe and never lose any piece by simply writing your name, address, phone number on the back of each piece. You are welcome. 😎👍
The back and the front of a jigsaw puzzle are different textures. The pieces are sort of pillow shaped on the front side and flatter on the back, so this is printed on the flat side.
If 2023 has tought me anything its there is no point in keeping things that are money valuable! Do what you want with them (if they're yours to keep) and make them to valuable to you not to other people!
I have never seen a puzzle printed on both sides. Ever. Are you really serious? That puzzle is not valuable. If you want to use it for crafting do it. Don’t let internet strangers tell you what you can do with your things. Realistically most puzzles end up in landfills.
Uh, most puzzles are blank on the backside, that's been the basic for a long time, unless the company specifically says it on the box that it's a flip puzzle.
Yeah that's not what she's saying. The tops of puzzle pieces are like glossy and the underneath is like construction paper feel. The bottom with no picture was the side that was glossy and the side with the picture had the construction paper feel. So it was printed on the wrong side
@@jennacyanide4872 Oh, 😲 Then yea, that's an oppsie. I've had cheap puzzles that I had to coat the top side before. Top coat nail polish, can work fine, but unless someone wants to hang it up, then spray on clear gloss would be perfect. 🥰 Now there's a glittery, well shimmery type clear gloss spray.
So who wants to petition a puzzle company to put out blank puzzles, for artists and crafters? Because this is very cool!
Pretty sure those already exist but in smaller sizes as craft kits basically.

@@cakesyouth yeah i used to make those all the time as a kid
Just look up "milk puzzle" it's a white puzzle, usually in the shape of a milj spill

@@sarahpanther that’s lovely!
Im actually shocked that so many people have never noticed the different textures of jigsaw pieces...
Who gets inspired when we see her doing puzzels
I started puzzling again after watching Karen for a couple years. It's been so fun to get back into. All thanks to our great Karen.

I thought all puzzles were blank on the other side in my country at least
Same here. I live in America and never seen a puzzle printed on both sides.
No one said it was printed on both sides. Shes saying they printed it on "the wrong side". Meaning they printed it on the flat part of the cardboard not the part that its usually printed on. Where did you get that its printed on both sides from?

Wouldn't they print the puzzle first before cutting it therefore they didn't print on the back They printed on one side and then cut it from the back.
"Please don't do that, this is valuable."
Me: *dumps several buckets of paint on top*
So freaking satisfying

This would be perfect for me! I love doing blank puzzles lol

now i wanna release my own “make your puzzle” toys that would be cheap in price and range from 10 to 2000 pieces while also varying in types
reminds me of the time i made a puzzle for my thenboyfriend nowhusband for a birthday presnt
bought a super cheap hellokitty puzzle
assembled it, painted over it
then broke it apart and threw it back into repainted box
Well that's one crushed dream for the New Year...
You could do it again as a solid colored puzzle.
She just
Flipped it
Like a sheet of leather
People need to make double sided puzzles
a famous arrest could defo do that. it would add value
Time to make the puzzle again, but from the wrong side!
I'm latina and that's literally all the puzzles i have a ever seen
Every puzzle I've ever had is the exact same way idk why this is supposed to be special
I used to make my own puzzles all the time with cardboard sheets lmao
All of all of the puzzles I've ever had was like that
You have such interesting puzzles. Our collection is small right now, but maybe we'll get lucky and find a vintage puzzle too. :) Keep inspiring.
I kinda wish it wasn’t valuable because it looks so fun to put together
Looks exactly the same as the back of. Normal quality puzzles
I would absolutely do that! What's the point in having a toy you can't play with? Unless it has situation changing value I say go for it.
At my old school we only had these types!
Love your accent, peace from England.
...my local public library always has puzzles for sale in the area where they sell old books and CDs
You can buy blank puzzles to make your own
Valuable for only as long as you are alive, if you don’t plan to sell it now then enjoy life and draw on it!!!! You only live once. Memories are meant to be made. ❤
I will definitely be doing that 😂
When I was like 5 a somehow built a puzzle upside down and didn't realize it until I finished it🤣
Its technically not printed on the back, it was cut upside down for a cleaner fit lol
You could just trace the peace’s of a puzzle on to paper and the cut it out onto card bord or wood to paint your own puzzle 🧩
Looks like a brownie yummmm🤤
Oh my gosh, she's too cute!
You know that hasn't stopped people from destroying vintage items that turn them into new classic shit all the time
Life is short. Draw on the puzzle if you want to.
My sister, who's an artist, wants to draw on it anyways.

.... how rare and how vintage we talking?
I'll buy 2......one to keep it as it is and 2nd one for creativity
What do you suppose pops more on rare vintage puzzles, Sharpie or Marks-a-lot?
I could never flip a puzzle like that without all the peices flying everywhere unless it had glue
Some puzzles are more sturdy lol
Draw your own. Make it unique. The third Karen Puzzle
There are companies that will make any picture you want into a 1000 piece (or less) jigsaw puzzle for around $50.
I ordered one of those that had only 2 die cuts and letters on the backs. I tried putting it together several times with no success 😢
I wonder if this copy was actually a misfeed in the cutting machine. If the puzzle was fed in upside down, that could make this example all the more valuable.
A lot of puzzles are like that
Pfft id put the same design in the other side to mess with people 😂
I would still draw on it though
I can't tell if the part about the back being a blank puzzle is a joke or not...
Because of the way puzzles are cut the pieces are usually rounded on the front and flat on the back. On this puzzle this case they put the image on and then cut it on the wrong side. so the picture is on the flat side not the rounded side. So the image is printed on the “back” of the puzzle.
The artist in me really wants to paint on it tho 😅
CVS Pharmacy once offered to make you a puzzle of your favorite photo.
Vintage Puzzle Tip: You can keep your puzzle safe and never lose any piece by simply writing your name, address, phone number on the back of each piece. You are welcome. 😎👍
That's cool
I don’t understand the people that have trouble understanding this.
IM GONNA DO IT
So what if it's rare, paint a unique picture for a unique puzzle on the back and it will be even more rare.
Bro the back side of all puzzles are blank
Put a layer of mod podge on the back so it lasts longers
im preety sure u can buy blank puzzles
Zeeee-ee~
"remember-"
*gurly i dont even know who you are*
-my sis
Me flipping puzzles
Oof
Wait dont all puzzles have the blank side?
You put tape in the back then the front 😭
Isn’t all the backs like that I’m confused
The back and the front of a jigsaw puzzle are different textures. The pieces are sort of pillow shaped on the front side and flatter on the back, so this is printed on the flat side.

lol you're wrong in every part of this comment
Ive never seen someone flip a puzzle bare handed. HUH??????

I get it now
I would still paint over it even though it's vintage. A convas is a canvas to my art mind.
Things only have value if you make them have value… Would you tell Picasso not to draw on the back of a “valuable puzzle“
Umm, every single puzzle I have ever done is made like that. The picture isn't on the back, the picture is the front. 🤔🤨
Take a picture, scan it, print it, use it as a template!!!
You can make your own puzzles and order them online
I dont see why this was uploaded
Love❤❤❤
Blank puzzles to draw on or print on in your printer already exist.
I’m so shocked
I have no idea what you mean by it was printed on the back of the puzzle is the backside supposed to have something
It is because the top of puzzle pieces should be rounded slightly, the back is flat because of the way it was stamped
@@granny184 ahh thank you for sharing your knowledge
how do u know it’s on the back side? there is no back side if the printing is on one side it’s the top side now
i would do it
Ummmmm but does Micheals or somewhere HAVE a blank puzzle? Cuz I wanna try so bad now! 😅
There are 1 solid color puzzles
Why is it valuable...? Isn't it one of the millions old puzzles out there in the world?
I don’t understand? It just looks like the back of every puzzle I’ve ever seen.
Ive seen a lot of those ive ownd a few for like 5.99 and i was born 2009
You sound like foot doc dana
WOW
Wait, so it's defective but it's priceless?? Seems like quality control isn't good at that place 😂😂
Wait. Aren't all jigsaw puzzles like this? Idk man I grew up only having this kind 😂😅
The back of the puzzle is completely flat and the top is rounded lol
Am i missing something cuz this seems normal...
The back of the puzzle is completely flat while the front is rounded
Don't all puzzles have a blank side?
Please, someone tell me how to do a puzzle that has only 2 die cuts
