To use this puzzle, just spread out the pieces on a flat surface and start looking for the edge pieces to begin building the frame. Then, sort the pieces by color and pattern to make it easier to find the ones you need. Take your time and enjoy the process of putting the picture together. When you're done, you can display it on a wall or table to show off your work. As for maintenance, keep the puzzle in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Be careful not to bend or damage the pieces, and store them in the box when not in use.
