Puzzle piece photo frame in plywood, ready to paint

A favourite photo tucked away in a drawer deserves a place that's as personal as the picture itself. That's exactly what this puzzle photo frame in natural plywood is made for: a photo frame shaped like a puzzle piece that you can paint, decorate and design just the way you like. It turns a simple photo into a little keepsake – made for your photo wall.

What changes for you

• You design your frame yourself – because the wood is untreated, you can paint it, stick things on it, varnish it or oil it, with no preparation needed.
• Your photo won't hang alone: several puzzle photo frames are designed to interlock, so bit by bit a collage of puzzle pieces grows.
• Your frame is ready in no time – place the front with the picture opening onto the solid back, glue them together with a little craft or wood glue, pop your photo in, done.
• You give a homemade gift that you have painted or designed yourself. Sizes range from a small passport photo of 3.5 x 4.5 cm to a 13 x 18 cm photo, each in portrait or landscape format.
• You get neat, careful finishing from our own small production. Every frame is made by Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this puzzle photo frame makes a difference every day

An ordinary frame shows a picture. A puzzle-shaped frame also tells a little story. The shape invites you to keep collecting. Every new photo gets its own piece. Over time, a picture of your family, your friendships or your travels takes shape on the wall. The light, untreated wood has a subtle colour. So it fits in with almost any interior style.

Material & finish

The frame is made from 3 mm plywood and laser cut, which gives it smooth edges with the typical brown rim that gives the puzzle piece its character. The wood is untreated – neither varnished nor glazed – so it takes paint, glue and oils well. As a purely natural material, every piece is unique: the grain may be lighter or darker, and small knots may occur – which is exactly what makes your frame one of a kind. Please note: the frame is not borderless, and the edge of the photo is slightly covered at the front.

How to use the puzzle photo frame

• On a crafting afternoon: the children paint their own puzzle piece – and afterwards the result hangs proudly in their bedroom, with a photo in the middle.
• For a wedding or anniversary: each guest decorates a piece, and put together, the puzzle piece frames create a shared keepsake picture for the couple.
• As a family wall: grandma, grandpa, parents, children – every family member gets their own piece, and the collage keeps growing with every new photo.
• At nursery or primary school: each child decorates their puzzle piece with a passport photo – together they make a picture of the whole group on the group wall, quick to hang up and easy to extend.
• As a personal gift: pop in a 10 x 15 cm photo, decorate the frame to suit the occasion – and you'll be giving something truly one of a kind.

Good to know about puzzles

The puzzle piece has always stood for individual pieces only forming a whole together. That's exactly why the puzzle photo frame is such a popular choice for families, classes, clubs and weddings: each piece shows one person – and put together, they show what connects everyone.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply wipe off dust with a dry, soft cloth. As the wood is untreated, it doesn't like moisture – hung or displayed somewhere dry, the frame will keep its natural look for a long time. If you paint or oil it, the surface becomes even more resistant.

Frequently asked questions

How do I assemble the frame? Glue the front with the picture opening to the solid back using a little craft or wood glue, then insert your photo – that's all there is to it.

Is a glass pane included? No, the frame comes without a glass pane – the photo sits directly in the frame.

Can I paint or decorate the frame? Yes, the plywood is untreated and ideal for painting, decorating, varnishing or oiling.

Do several frames fit together? Yes, the puzzle pieces are designed so that several frames interlock and can be joined into a collage.

Why are the edges brown? The frames are laser cut – this creates smooth edges with the typical brown rim that is part of the frame's character.
