Quick Answer

Display Doomlings pins on a fabric-covered pin board or in a shadow box to keep them visible and scratch-free. For medallions, use a small acrylic stand or a dedicated shelf where the enamel and metal details can catch the light without rubbing against other items.

Choosing the Right Display Surface

Pins have sharp posts that can scratch painted or wooden surfaces, so avoid sticking them directly into walls or furniture. A fabric pin board or cork board gives you a soft backing that holds the pin securely without damaging the enamel. For medallions, a smooth acrylic or glass shelf works well because the ridged edges and metallic finish stand out without risk of tarnishing from contact with rough materials.

Grouping Your Collection

Grouping pins and medallions by theme or color creates a cohesive look. For example, you can arrange all rainbow-themed items together or separate limited editions like the Pip 1st Player Medallion. Avoid overcrowding the display — leaving a small gap between each piece prevents accidental scratches when you reach for a specific item.

Protecting Enamel and Metal Finishes

Soft enamel and zinc bases, like those used in Doomlings medallions, can dull if exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. Place your display away from windows or use UV-protective glass in a shadow box. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the colors bright and the infused metals glistening.

Step-by-Step Display Guide

  1. Step 1: Choose Your Base: Select a fabric pin board for pins or a small acrylic stand for medallions. Clean the surface with a dry cloth before placing any item. Checkpoint: Make sure the base is larger than the item so nothing hangs off the edge.
  2. Step 2: Arrange Your Layout: Lay out pins and medallions on a flat surface first to plan spacing. Keep limited editions like the Pip Medallion in a central or elevated spot. Common mistake: Crowding pieces together can cause scratches. Leave at least half an inch between items.
  3. Step 3: Secure Pins and Position Medallions: Push pin posts firmly into the board at a slight angle for stability. For medallions, place them on a stand or shelf so the enamel side faces forward. Checkpoint: Gently wiggle each piece to ensure it won't fall off. If it moves, adjust the angle or use a thicker board.
  4. Step 4: Add a Label or Sticker: If you want to brand your display, apply the Doomlings Logo Sticker to the back of the board or on a small sign nearby. Clean the surface first to avoid bubbles. Common mistake: Applying a sticker to a dusty surface causes bubbles and peeling. Wipe with a lint-free cloth first.
  5. Step 5: Maintain Your Display: Dust pins and medallions weekly with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid direct sunlight to preserve enamel colors and metal finishes. Next step: Rotate featured pieces every few months to keep the display fresh and reduce wear on any single item.
