To use this 1000 - piece puzzle, first spread out all the pieces on a flat surface. Start by sorting the edge pieces to form the frame of the picture. Then, look for distinct patterns or colors in the artwork to group the pieces. Work on different sections at the same time to make the process more interesting. When you're done, you can display it on a wall or just keep it as a beautiful memory. As for maintenance, keep the puzzle in a dry place to prevent the pieces from warping. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe the pieces with a soft, dry cloth. Be careful not to bend or break the pieces during handling.
