Funky Borders Obviously we are familiar with the straight cut, round cut and even shaped borders. If you take the border edges off these puzzle types, the image still looks kinda cool with the piece-shapes as the border. Have you ever done that in the past? You should try it for fun! But in this case, we are talking about really funky border cuts. I came across this Mega brand that has a complete series of beautiful images and then it includes an almost ‘royal’ border cut that truly enhances the puzzle once completed. The puzzle gets filled in completely as a square and using the pattern as shown in the article link, you will see the border pieces that get removed to create the pattern as shown. Not all the ‘border’ puzzles are cut like that but the Mega brand ‘Border’ series is. There are a plethora of wood shaped puzzles with funky borders out there too. But because you don’t get an ‘edge’ as a place to get started they tend to force the puzzler to rely on the image to get started. They also make wonderful gifts with such a beautiful enhancement of shaped borders and usually whimsy pieces in the inner area.
