This invention relates to a device for displaying objects, and is more particularly directed toward an easel comprising one or more ridges upon which devices to be displayed are hung or propped. The easel is constructed of material such a card board, plastic, or similar material which can be scored and folded into the desired configuration. Construction materials and manufacturing steps are relatively inexpensive. Various methods are disclosed to prevent the easel from collapsing under the weight of the displayed objects. The easel is also suitable for displaying articles of varying size and shape. Furthermore, the easel can be easily disassembled for storage or shipping.
