How can I decorate with my postcards?

Question

I have lotss of postcards from all over the world and they're really beautiful! I'd love to do something creative with them, but I'm a little out of ideas. Anything would be great! I don't want to frame them individually since I have so many, and I def want to display as many as possible.

Answer 1

Get a big black pin up board and make a calajs< kalash the thing were you pin them up on each other like their spread out where you can see all of them bbut connected and in different places and not centered on each other and put glitter glue between them, that be cool i hope you think the same, hope this helps.

1. If you have a coffee table, dining table, or desk you can have a piece of glass cut to fit. Put the postcards on the table (some upside down if they have good stamps and fun messages) randomly at different angles like they were just scattered there. Toss in some ticket stubs or other interesting flat things. Put the glass on top. Since you don't glue them down, you don't destroy the postcards.  Change when you feel like it. It's fun to make a theme -- a place, a country, plants, food, anything that makes the cards into a story.

You can also put down a map or decorative paper that speaks of the region the postcards come from as a background. Fold the extra edges under and flatten down with the side of a pen if you don't want to cut the map and put the post cards on top of that.

2. Get a large frame with glass and do the same thing for a wall picture.

3. Get stretcher strips at an art store and build a big frame. On the back, string rows of wire tightly and staple down. Hang postcards from tiny binder clips as a sort of gallery. Also changeable according to your whim and doesn't destroy the cards. You can paint or cover the stretchers with ribbon, staple down a fabric backing, whatever you like to make it decorative.

4. If you want to destroy the cards, you can get some decoupage glue and permanantly put them on furniture, suitcases, closet doors, any flat surface. But I like non-destructive ways as you can change the cards around.

You know how ppl put wall borders in their rooms?? You could do that. Ppl put them either close to the ceiling or closer to 1/2 way down the wall.. i guess like this..*about where the checkered stripe is at* http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategoriz...

then you could even frame several all together in longer frames like this * scroll down til you get after all the purses, then count down to the 4th picture after that to see for an idea( it has a tub in the pic)*
