The Instructables website is an amazing community of curious doers from around the world and is home to hundreds of thousands of DIY projects. We frequently repost projects that involve mannequins.

I have seen so many mannequins that have been decorated for home decor, but I was never lucky enough to find one. Until now, I found this one in a charity shop and snapped it up. Because I am steampunk mad at the moment it seemed fitting to give this sexy mannequin a steampunk makeover. I wanted the mannequin to look like patchwork metal in the front. And for the back, I wanted it to look like she had been unzipped to expose her inner mechanics.

The strategic use of the right prop can create a visual display that will make your product irresistible and it will sell faster. Mannequins can do this not only for clothing but for purses as well. Check out these examples:

1 This is one of my favorites, adding signage on the extended mannequin arm.

This window display captures the feeling of what it is like to see the purse, touch it and pick it up. We sell mannequin dress forms with arms like this here.

Many of our customers who purchase our used mannequins are buying them for art projects, especially mosaic. Actually the whole reason I am in the mannequin industry is because I was looking for a mannequin to mosaic and put in my garden and I ended up buying 50 mannequins on Craigslist. (That is a whole different story)

We created a board on Pinterest devoted to mosaic art on mannequins and here are some of our favorites.

Let’s start with mannequin heads.

This colorful head offers multiple layers of beads to create a dynamic mosaic head.
