Abstract: A frame kit for the temporary or permanent assembly of picture puzzles or the like therein, comprises a plurality of frame components and a backing panel which may be temporarily or permanently assembled together. The backing panel includes an adhesive side with a removable overlay sheet. The overlay sheet may be left in place for the temporary assembly and later disassembly of picture puzzles thereon, or may be removed to expose the adhesive to provide for the permanent assembly of such a puzzle thereon for permanent display within the frame. The frame components may be formed of a variety of different materials and may utilize different assembly techniques. The disassembly of the components, as well as the folding configuration of the backing panel, result in a relatively compact kit for storage purposes. The frame and backing panel may be provided in various sizes to closely match the various sizes of completed picture puzzles.
