How Do You Display Your Dolls?

I think for wallpaper, it'd be best to cover the back piece before you install it in the shelf or else it might be hard to get into the shelf nicely; also if you used wallpaper glue it would be a lot more permanent than what I did which was double sided tape lol. But you could also get a really cool pattern that would meet up better than the craft paper does! Definitely something to consider.

 

These are all great ideas, I'm just getting started and was trying to figure out how to display them!

 

Mine are displayed among my orchids! They were my last obsession

 

@Katrynar
That must look so pretty! Orchids are so wonderful for doll displays!

I just keep mine in their boxes unfortunately, since I am always worried they'll break somehow when I am not looking. I would love to display my dolls in the future in a nice diorama.

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

The dolls I had growing up are either in plastic boxes or glass display cases at my mother’s place, but the dolls at my current place are mostly in their boxes. My 1/3 scale doll is currently sitting on my dresser since I’ve been wanting to look at her lately.

 

All their crap is on the shelves too

 

I can’t figure out how to add pics but the link is here: A7-F5-F3-C7-69-EF-46-FE-847-F-EA696-F53-EE0-F

 

I'm a newbie to collecting bjd so I bought a nice glass cabinet for them. It's kinda small but I try switching them every week or months if I remember.

 

I have three up in my room on various shelves, and four downstairs on shelves.

 

The orchids with the dolls are pretty!

 

Thank you! I can’t wait til they’re all blooming in a few months! They will be even better! I have some blooming ones but the shelves are too short to put them there

 

My dolls have a dedicated Ikea Pax wardrobe frame with two shelves added. It will eventually be three rooms, a living room for my big boys, a bedroom for my MSD's and a nursery.

 

That is so cool! Your dolls look so happy sitting amongst the flowers.

Just be careful where you place them in relationship to the lights. UV rays, sunlight and/or high heat can cause resin to "yellow" faster than it normally would. Resin will yellow/change color some anyways, its a natural part of anything resin, but I'm sure you don't want to speed up their color change any faster than they would otherwise.

Thanks for sharing!

I like to display mine in a big cabinet we got at IKEA I buy my dolls with the intention of them making me happy and being fun. So I like to see mine and prefer them to be easily accessible. It seems many are worried about yellowing and decrease in value, but yellowing is normal to a certain extend and I don’t mind it.

 

Ooo I didn’t even think about that ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️ thank you! I’ll move them to another orchid shelf that doesn’t have lights! Or better yet, get them their own shelf on an opposite wall

 

Mine were hanging out in the guest room during the Summer due to the humidity in my room being awful during the Summer, but now they're sitting on top of my dresser and I'm honestly happy they're back in my room

 

My bed is a side sleeper with a big thick sideboard with small shelves behind two sliding doors, I keep my dolls bjd and otherwise on the top of the headboard, there's a surprising amount of room. BJDs sit with their legs draped over the edge and if they fall they land on pillows and blankets, porcelain and fashion dolls stand.

 

If I can, I like to sit them around me at my desk. The faves get priority ofc and then the others will get displayed elsewhere in my room~

 

On a shelf , surrounded by shabby chic or vintage items. They have a little section just for them.
