Sandwich the best cards between glass in floating picture frames. Arrange the frames in a grouping on a shelf or bookcase for the strongest visual impact.

Group wall frames to display your favorite alphabet flash cards. Oversized flash cards, such as 8-inch-by-10-inch versions, work best for this method.

4
Create a temporary flash-card collage on a magnet board or cork board, then swap out the cards whenever you wish. This allows you to create seasonal flash-card displays, such as "W is for witch" at Halloween and "G is for gift" at Christmas.

Mix in a few other alphabet items with your cards on a shelf. Examples include wooden alphabet blocks, bookends shaped like single letters of the alphabet or a framed swatch of ABC fabric.

Tips & Warnings
If your cards are too thick to fit inside a frame, prop them on plate stands instead.
When you display alphabet flash cards, you'll probably see only one side of the card. That's why the best flash cards for display have a single letter and a related picture on the same side of the card.
