Gifts for Postcard Lovers

I love seeing postcards used for arts and crafts items. That's why I originally started collecting them - to use them in art projects (and to "save" them) and now I just collect them. Although I do still have many ideas all the time of projects to do - just little time.

Here are some neat things I have seen online that uses postcards. Maybe it will inspire you for a gift for the postcard lover in your life (and it's okay if that's you).


a post a plate from justnoey




A lovely way to keep your favorite postcards or love letters from Tuuni





There are lots of pendants on Etsy made from vintage postcards. I love that this one has the postmark on it, too. From Smokinmudproductions




Here is a pretty garland made from copies of old postcards. This is something you could make yourself or get from VintageScraps



This is an interesting way to use your vintage postcards. As a divider for a diy calendar. See more about this project on DesignSponge

Hope that gets you inspired. It totally gets me inspired. If you have any neat ideas for postcard crafts or postcard related gifts, please let me know. And if you need postcards or some unique stocking stuffers, please check out the shop. Thanks!

  3. These are all great ideas, although I have to work on that involuntary twitch I get when it comes to cutting up postcards or punching holes in them. The pendant idea is particularly good if you're dealing with a damaged card that wouldn't be of much use otherwise.
