This page shows some Custom Puzzles which have been cut to customers’ requirements.

You can check into having a jigsaw puzzle made from your own picture by emailing to sales@turtleteasers.com.

Due to the special nature of custom puzzles, each will be quoted for individually. However, the table below gives a ballpark estimate of the price for the standard large format print sizes available from Shutterfly,com. These prices do not include any printing or shipping charges, which will be passed on at cost.

Each custom puzzle is supplied unassembled in a sturdy wooden box with sliding lid.  A guide photo is not normally supplied, but can be by arrangement.

For custom puzzles, a 50% pre-payment is required before work starts, the remainder is due when the puzzle is ready to ship.

Class Photo (#369)

A friend asked if I would donate a puzzle to her daughter’s pre-school fundraising auction.  Her husband took the photo and Shutterfly.com printed it.

It raised $300.00!

Kindergarten Drawing Class Project (#462)

This is another fund-raising item conceived by an innovative kindergarten teacher who had recently taught her students to draw themselves. She made a collage of the individual drawings, then took a photo which was printed as an enlargement.

As a result of the school auction (see above), I received a number of further orders, including this one, also printed by Shutterfly.com (this is the largest size that they offer). I also made two smaller puzzles for the grandparents.

8” x 10” -  179 pieces

This puzzle was made for one of my cycling buddies.  She had the photo taken in a studio, and, in order to get a  colorful and interesting background, she took along a shower curtain! Clever girl!

She also bought smaller, simpler versions to give to the grandparents.

13.8” x 7.2” - 217 pieces

This puzzle was commissioned for a Christmas present to be given to a friend of the customer who had just moved away from the neighborhood.  A jpeg file was taken with a digital camera and sent off to Shutterfly.com who printed the superb enlargement.
