The Best Way to Store Figurines

Many people enjoy brightening up their homes or purchasing mementos of special occasions. While figurines are typically made of glazed ceramic and come in boxes of their own, most people like to display them so that others can view the figurines. With a few preparations, you can display or store your figurines in order to keep them in their best possible shape.

Things You'll Need

Curio cabinet or china cabinet
Tissue paper or bubble wrap

Instructions

- 1
  Purchase a china or curio cabinet.
- 2
  Place your cabinet in a location where direct sunlight doesn't shine on your figurines. This can damage them and make their colors fade prematurely. Keep the doors to the cabinet shut to avoid accidents and only take the figurines out on special occasions.
- 3
  Place the cabinet in a room that never becomes too hot or too cold. A temperate climate, without humidity or extreme temperature, will keep your figurines in optimal condition.
- 4
  Store the figurines you don't wish to display in their original boxes. The box should come with cardboard or paper to wrap around the figurine. You should then store the figurines in the box, either together or separately. Separate is preferable, but you can place the figurines in the same box, provided each one is well wrapped.
- 5
  Wrap your figurines in tissue paper or bubble wrap if you do not have the original box. Storing them in newspaper might cause the newsprint to rub off onto the figurines.
