What are some tips for doing a 1000 piece puzzle? my first one. details inside.?

so last night i did a 100 piece puzzle and i wanted more of a challenege so i went and bought a 1000 piece puzzle. im looking at the pieces and im completely overwhelmed. a few tips would be greatly apreciated. i am doing a 1000 piece Ravensburger Puzzle of Mona Lisa. thank you.

Whenever I start on a puzzle this large, I always go through the entire box and get all the edge pieces. They’re always the easist to spot. While I’m sorting through, I usually find a few pieces that are already put together (usually only two pieces that just weren’t broken apart). I go ahead and pull these out, too, and set them to the side. As I’m looking at all these pieces, I start to notice pieces that look the same (i.e. flowers, sky, wood, trees, etc.). After I sort through everything to get the edge pieces, I put all that together. Then, I try to start working from the outside in. For example, if I’m doing a puzzle of a barn with flowers, trees, and the sky, I might start on the sky first because I’ve already got the outside section that has the sky on it finished. So, go back to your box and pull out the sky pieces. It probably sounds like a long process, but I’ve been doing it this way for a long time, and I’ve found it to be the most thorough as opposed to just pushing the pieces around hoping to find what you need.

Hope that helps!!! I bet your puzzle will look wonderful when you’ve finished it!! )
