subject: A Few Ways To Display Decorative Dolls As Seasonal Decorations [print this page] Decorating the home for the holiday season is a great way to kick off the festivities. There are not very many things that can be done that will bring a sense of cheer and joy quite like seeing a lavishly decorated holiday display. Each year brings with it something new to behold, and every year families find great enjoyment in setting up their old favorites and newly acquired seasonal decorations throughout the home. One especially cheerful way to brighten up holiday decorations is the addition of decorative dolls.
Decorative dolls can be displayed in many ways for the holiday season. Placing them in realistic settings that correspond with the outfit the doll is wearing is always a hit. Creating a scene of Christmas joy is easy when the dolls are displayed in a snowy setting. They could be caroling outside a door, sledding down a snowy mountainside, or even unwrapping seasonal gifts under a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The possibilities are endless when they are put on display in holiday settings.
Another way to display decorative dolls is using stands specifically designed for their use and placing them in an area of the home reserved especially for them. A well-lit glass display case or hutch can be a great showcase for decorative dolls. Another positive side of this method is that they can be displayed all year long. There are a number of ways to arrange the dolls inside their case or on their shelf. They can be arranged by animal, color of the outfit, by value, or according to the personal taste of the collector. A light can be placed in the area, shining from above or below to further accentuate the setting.
Decorative dolls can be displayed yearlong throughout the home, as well. Adding them to display shelves that house knickknacks and other keepsakes will ensure that they become a part of the decor throughout the year. Themed dolls can be purchased that match the decor of the room in which the doll is to be displayed. A decorative doll wearing glasses in a school uniform can find its home on the bookshelf, while another with an apron or a chef's hat could easily find a home in the kitchen. Family members will always find a home for their favorites, but it can be a simple process for those who own one or two to display them in such a way that both adds to the ambiance of the room and respects the original intention of the doll itself.
