How to Display Your Crafts at a Show

Accessories

Next, let’s discuss how to display accessories like scarves, headbands, bracelets, and earrings at a craft show! You want to make each piece stand out, but because you have limited space in your booth, this can be difficult to achieve. Displays that help shoppers imagine the accessory on themselves can be incredibly effective. So, in the spirit of space saving, we recommend using one prominent display to showcase a particular necklace, scarf, or hat - then below or next to that display, lay out the rest of the color options and styles you offer for customers to browse.

Greeting Cards & Postcards

Craft fairs are also a great place for displaying custom greeting cards and postcards! Local artists, graphic designers, or print shops all revel at the opportunity to showcase their DIY designs in front of craft-loving enthusiasts. By using the right displays for your greeting cards, you bridge the gap between browsing customers and buying customers. Here are some perfect options:

Spinning Card Racks
Hold More Cards for Your Buck

Use Small Postcard Pockets
for Tabletop Displays

Fill a Light Cardboard Display
w/ 100's of Cards

These are just a few of the common craft show conundrums DIYers frequently experience. Essentially, if it’s a craft and you want to display it at a show, we promise you, there’s a display out there for you! The most important thing to remember is your craft fair display should showcase your products’ best features while making them stand out from the crowd!

Holiday Crafts

The holidays are a magical time in the world of crafts. Any fair around Christmastime is sure to be just brimming with holiday cheer; full of wreaths, ornaments, garlands, stockings, quilts, and more! However, some of these holiday decorations can be difficult to display, to say the least. With wreaths, for example, you are just not doing them any justice by laying them flat on a table. Wreaths are meant to be hung up in all their glory! Same thing with ornaments - shoppers need to imagine them twinkling on their trees. So, here are our tried and true suggestions for displaying wreaths & ornaments at craft shows:

Gridwall Stands w/
Hooks for Wreaths

Try Spinning Racks
for Ornaments

Clip Strips Easily
Hold Stockings
