Flocked figures act like dust magnets. Leaving them exposed on open bookshelves dulls their fur and attracts household oils. Managing a growing collection requires smart storage and sealed display strategies.
Michaels carries deep shadow box display cases that serve as dust-free dioramas. The Belmont and Studio Décor lines offer cases measuring 8x10 to 16x20 inches with an internal depth of 2 to 2.5 inches. This depth accommodates an adult figure standing on a wooden floor runner alongside miniature furniture. Line the interior backing with scrapbook paper resembling vintage wallpaper to create an instant room box.
For non-display organizing, visit the bead and embroidery floss sections. Clear plastic tackle boxes with adjustable dividers keep small accessories, baby bottles, plates, baked goods, and shoes, sorted by category. Line the bottom of each compartment with acid-free tissue paper or thin felt to prevent plastic accessories from scratching flocking during transit.
When staging figures inside display cases, skip standard sticky tack, which leaves greasy residue on flocking. Secure figures using museum wax applied strictly to the plastic soles of their feet, or craft transparent figure stands using narrow acrylic strips and clear hair elastics.
