Tulip Twist Puzzle (decor/flower styled helix puzzle gift)

A puzzle hidden as a small flower-decor-print? YES! And it might be more challenging than you think   A fun print to do for yourself or as a gift - flowers AND fun puzzle all-in-one

Overview

The puzzle is made of the following parts.

• 1, 2 or 3 Flowers
  • Stem (x)
  • Flower ()
  • Root 1, 2 and 3
• Box and ground (for the specific amount of flowers)
  • Box
  • Ground 1
  • Ground 2
  • Ground 3

Note that the roots and grounds are different - important for the puzzle. Also note that some parts you need to print multiple of.

Assembly

To assemble the flowers, simply screw the Flower onto the Stem, and the Stem onto the Root. (The thread it mirrored to avoid getting loose while dragging up the flowers from the ground. If still too loose - use a little glue - optional)

Solution

This is the fun part. And it’s simple: put the ground pieces in the box and ‘plant’ the flowers. That’s it Well with the pieces there are A LOT of combinations - so it might take you a little to find the correct way. But studying the pieces will help you along the way. Enjoy and have fun!
