How To Properly Store Your Crown
The number one way to store your pageant crown is in an airtight space. This can be a crown box like shown in the video above or a glass display. One of my pageant sisters has all of her crowns in a glass display and it is not only beautiful but it’s a great way to keep them tarnish free.
I like to keep my crown in hat boxes and acrylic clear cases. They serve as a cute carrying case when I’m using them during my reign as well as protective storage cases once I’ve passed down my title to the next queen.
The goal is to keep them from direct sunlight as well as from dust and dirt.
I hope this post has helped you maintain your beautiful crowns from years to come. You earned them so now it’s time to keep your headpieces in tip top shape. And FYI, this is also the same way I clean my pageant heels.
