Vintage Hankies Handkerchiefs Display Ideas - What Can You Do With Them?

Vintage ladies handkerchiefs make a wonderful collectible, and they are still quite affordable. People often ask me though...

What do you do with them? How can you display them?

Here are a few ideas for you.

• You can display them framed in clear acrylic clip frames
• Use them as doilies on tables & nightstands
• Show then off under glass on a coffee table
• Sew into quilts, pillows, sachets, tablecloths, or potholders
• Make a valance by clipping them onto top of curtain with clothespins
• Display them in a vase or hang them from a towel bar
• Wrap small gifts with them
• Sew a monogrammed hankie onto the front of a little girls bib overalls
• Use them to line your Longerberger baskets (or others)
• Trim the edges with beads & make a "cozy" for your teacups
• Tie them onto your ponytail, belt loop, or purse
• Tuck them into birthday, get well or any holiday card
• Use monogrammed handkerchiefs for the "something old or something blue" for a bride to be
• Give as gift to bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of bride or groom
• Display them hung by little wooden clothespins on a vintage indoor clothesline, or satin ribbon
• A customer gave me this idea to pass along. She is giving a monogrammed hankie to her son's girlfriend as a small gift for her prom night. A nice tradition to start!
• Another customer idea! They look lovely draped over a nitelight for soft romantic lighting
• Use any type of vintage rack for display
