Subject: Re: Puppet Storage


Thinking about the retailers who display quantities of puppets....  They use
a POST display or POST TREE set up.  You could make a single tree style with
a six foot 2" closet pole attached to a base, then drill 1/2 " holes in it
at a 45 degree angle and insert 1/2"  dowells that are the length you need
for the puppets.   Make the lengths slightly less than the total length of
the puppets, so the dowell end won't poke the inside of the head.  A single
tree set up might hold 10 puppets.

 You could make as many as you need.  After they've aired out and dried you
could easily slip a plastic bag to keep off dust.
