How do you display sea ponies without shells/floats?
« on: June 22, 2012, 08:07:33 AM »
I have 8 sea ponies, 3 adults and 5 babies, and I only have one shell and one float. They're on my shelf, leaning towards other ponies/the wall, but they fall very easily and it doesn't look very nice, imo. So how do you display yours?

I see a lot of people putting them in egg cups and it looks very nice! Or you could set them up in an empty aquarium which is my favorite way to display them :)

I've seen the Aquarium ones, I want to do that for one I have when I finish getting her cleaned up :)

Yes egg cups seems to be a popular and super clever way of displaying them - someone also had the babies in little glasses and in the bottom they had stones and sand to help hold them up right.

I don't have mine on display, unfortunately.  No room=(  One of these days, though!

I actually came up with a great solution to the floatless baby sea pony display problem. These are for sale on my website, if you're interested, or you can always make your own;) Their combs/brushes and stickers can easily fit in the sand with them, so it's a really effecient display that keeps all of their accessories with them.

Oh, thanks for the suggestions! I think I'll go with egg cups for now. It's the only stuff I have home.

Yours looks really nice, okapishomapi and Eskara1862!

I use doll stands.  You can pick them up for a $1-2 each at the hobby store.  :)

One of the neatest displays I saw was someone had filled Paradise Estate's pool with blue glass beads and placed her sea ponies in it:)

With mine I have floats for all my babies and balance the floats across Dream Castle's walk ways. I have 4 adult seaponies and two shells so they have to double up:P
