Quick answer
Display your acrylic stands and button pins together by mixing heights, using tiered shelves, and repurposing everyday items like cork boards or small boxes to create an eye-catching collection.
Why combine acrylic stands and button pins?
Acrylic stands are great for showing off full character art, while button pins add a tactile, wearable element. Displaying them together creates depth and variety, making your collection feel more complete. The Shantae Acrylic Stand (11 cm tall) stands out on a desk or shelf, while Shantae button pins (2.25 inches) can be pinned nearby for a layered look.
What to watch out for
Acrylic stands can scratch if stacked or rubbed together. Button pins with safety-pin backs may leave marks on painted surfaces. Avoid direct sunlight for both—it can fade the print over time. Also, button pins are small and can be a choking hazard around pets or small children.
Creative display steps
- 1. Choose a stable base: Place your acrylic stand on a flat, clean surface. A small acrylic base or a piece of felt can prevent scratches. If using a shelf, make sure it's level so the stand doesn't tip. Avoid stacking multiple stands directly on top of each other—they can scratch or fall.
- 2. Add a backdrop or tier: Use a small box, a book, or a riser to elevate the acrylic stand behind a row of button pins. This creates visual depth. A cork board or magnetic board works well for pinning buttons at different heights. Test the stability of your riser before placing the stand—an unstable base can cause the stand to topple.
- 3. Pin buttons safely nearby: Attach button pins to a cork board, fabric-covered frame, or even a thick ribbon hung on the wall. Position them so they don't touch the acrylic stand's surface. Rotate pins occasionally to avoid creasing the fabric. Avoid pinning directly into the acrylic stand—the pin can scratch or leave a permanent mark.
- 4. Group by theme or color: Arrange your Shantae acrylic stand and button pins together to tell a story. Grouping by character or color scheme makes the display feel intentional and cohesive. If you have multiple button pins, space them at least an inch apart so each one is visible.
- 5. Protect from dust and light: Dust the stand gently with a soft cloth. Keep the display out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. A glass dome or a clear acrylic box can protect both items if you want extra care. Never use harsh cleaners on acrylic—they can cloud the surface. A damp microfiber cloth is enough.
