Annie Thornton Especially with figurines and others small detailed collectibles, the detail and quality of the collection can be better appreciated if they are not overwhelmed with volume. I, myself, have a collection of over 40 Madam Alexander Dolls, and they tend to get lost in the crowd if I have them all out at once. I recommend selecting your favorite pieces to display prominently. If they are fragile, secure them down with an adhesive like museum wax that won't damage the piece but will help prevent breakage. If you are using tables to display your collection, use risers such as stacked books or cake stands to stagger the height. A way to also avoid the grandmother look that can come with collections, integrate the pieces with everyday pieces in your home. Rely on textures and colors to display the beauty.

Will museum wax avoid damage to walls? My teenage daughter loves to apply her paper collage art to her bedroom walls...

4. Vintage tins. This collection's display really works for me since the shelves are a little distressed themselves, matching the "vintage" feel of the tins.

Colorful vintage tins...another beautiful, whimsical collection that makes a wonderful display and proves you don't have to spend a fortune to add interest and decorative touches to your home.

13. Pretty packaging. Putting your thoughtful, waste-conscious gift in a reusable container like these vintage tins will make your present that much more sustainable. Meanwhile the tin itself makes a great gift! Baskets — especially ones with lids — are also a fun option.MoreDress Up Your Mantel for Fall and ThanksgivingSimple Pleasures: Savoring the Season of Warmth and Light
