Craft show #2

Thanks for sharing Lucinda!
I’m always looking for suggestions in booth displays too.

Only a suggestion; I prefer mixing it up a bit.
Like the small black display in front of your bullitin board, I like the way you have alternate designs placed on it…. shorter design, then a longer one etc… On your big board there a many of similar design and I find it a bit more difficult to have my eye drawn to each piece.
Does that make any sense?
I really like your display on the other table with busts of your necklaces! Maybe you could continue on that theme?
Keep working on it! You’ll figure it out. Your pieces are beautiful! I love all your crosses!

Nice set-up for your second try!I also used a cork board for my necklaces-try spray painting your cork board to match the rest of your display-it will give it less of the “cork board” look. Also the tallest riser on your other table-does it put the jewelry out of easy reach for your customers?-I might bring it down a little. I do really like the black-makes your things show really well.

I found some vintage mirrored perfume trays at a local antique store that were VERY affordable. The trim on the trays is filigree, so I looped some matching ribbon through the filigree and hung my jewelry on the ribbon. The jewelry looks amazing on a mirrored tray!! I received so much positive feedback on my display. Another tip that someone gave me was to add 1 or 2 lamps on your table, assuming they allow electricity…..people always tend to head towards the brighter tables.

Your set up is beautiful by the way…great job!!

lucinda i use a bulletin board as well when i do my shows. i purchased fabric large enough to cover the corkboard part of it-i just used a butter knife to press the edges of the fabric within the frame. i change the fabric to match the style,event, or just what looks well with new pieces. at the fabric store i always ask to look at the bolt end pieces which are always at a great price. you are have a nice display to just be starting up!!! best of luck to you

Hi Lucinda, your jewellery looks great!i love the vibrant colours so it looks great against black, maybe just plain black would be better than the stripes, it just drew my eye naturally to the background first. i think if you group items together it would be better than scattering them about, people like the display to be as simple and self explainable as possible.hope that helps a little, good work!

I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF WAYS TO PUT OUT MY JEWELRY I HAVE TONS MADE TO DEMO HOWEVER THY DO NOT ALL FIT ON THE TABLE I WENT TO JOB LOT,WALKED AROUND AND JUST KEPT LOOKING ,I FOUND A 2 SHELF EXPANDING SHOE RACK. I BOUGHT 3 OF THEM AND NOW I FIT MOST OF MY NECKLACES ON. AND I DRESS IT UP ON A BLCK TABLE CLOTH AND SOME PRETTY FLOWERS IT REALLY LOOKS NICE. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE TELL ME I HAVE A GREAT PRESENTATION ON MY JEWELRY.

I like the multi-level display, but agree that less background pattern is better. If it is fairly easy to do, you might try staggering the hanging display so that they are not in a straight line across the top. That might help people see the individual pieces a little better, than in a very linear display. The eye needs a place to rest, and too many pieces- no matter how lovely- all in one line gets overwhelming.
