  1. 2 ideas. 1) decopoge them to a painters canvas.2) take a painters canvas wrap it in batting and material then take ribbons back and forth over in criss cross pattern and at the corners of the ribbons put something decorative. then the postcards can slide into there and you can change them out.


  2. blu tack

  3. Perhaps wrapping them in a piece of saran and tapping the loose sides together, or possibly laminating the postcards, should preserve them for a while or however long you want them taped to the wall  

  4. Get some painter's tape (that blue masking tape stuff). Take about a 1-inch strip and roll it into a loop, sticky side out. Now make one for each corner of the postcard and stick it to the wall. This will prevent the postcard corners from curling in.

    Painter's tape, unlike masking or Scotch tape, is designed to release without leaving a residue. It can also be peeled carefully off the back of the postcard later without damaging it.

    Keep in mind, though, that eventually the postcard will fade and get weathered if it's not in a frame. If you want to keep it in decent shape, you're better off using a frame with a glass or plastic front.
