Have fun displaying your collections of Christmas figurines, plates and other items creating a beautiful setting for you and your family to enjoy. My displays occupy my entertainment center shelves. Santa figurines, plates, colorful tins and boxes all add interest to your displays. Add sparkle by using glitter snow, angel hair and greenery to your displays.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Tins and/or boxes- varying colors and sizes
  • Angel hair
  • Snow glitter
  • Favorite figurines, ornaments, plates, snowglobes etc.
  1. Step 1

    Choose boxes or tins with varying heights to display your items. I used some striped boxes to raise some of the Santa figurines and other items so they could be easily viewed. I used stacking gift boxes and a crystal Christmas tree, snowman and snow woman with purse for this display. In this display, I also added gold basket stuffing in addition to the snow glitter.

  2. Step 2

    Add angel hair to give the effect of swirling snow and soften your display.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be sure the tins or boxes are large enough to support the complete base of your figurine etc to prevent them from falling.
