What is a cool way to display collected postcards?

Answer 1

Make a collage of your favourite ones. If you don't mind not reading them anymore use glue, or pop a bit of blu-tak on the back and put them on your favourite coloured backgroung and put in a frame and hang on the wall. Using the blu-tak means years to come or whenever you like, you can still read them and they're not permantly stuck to the paper

Answer 2

I collect antique postcards and display mine in one of those large frames (11x14 or 16x20). Get a matboard cut with the correct size openings and place them in there. Use acid free mat board. It is a great way to display them on the wall and it also protects them from dust, etc. Try not to hang them on a wall that gets a lot of sun, as this will fade the colors. You can also paint the frame, crackle it, etc. to match your decor.

Answer 3

mount and frame a grouping of them.
keep in postcard album and keep out on coffeetable for browsers with pages open.
with windowbox display endtables display postcards with other souvenirs from places traveled.

Answer 4

Staple fabric around a piece of board, or paint a piece of MDF, and add criss-crossed ribbon or elastic braid. Stick a few postcards in and change them out every so often so it always looks new to you.

Answer 5

Display them on strands of fishing line that run the heighth of a wall. Laminate the cards, put tiny holes in, and thread the line through, knotting it after the bottom hole to prevent sliding, then thread the next. You can attach the line ends to transparent thumbtacks, and arrange more than one line of cards next to one another.

You may want to consider photocopying them and keeping them in a binder to keep them safe. Then use the photocopies for display: use a coffee table with glass- just pick up the glass, arrange your copies, and replace the glass. Simple.
