quietgirl2004 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 What do most of you who do craft shows use for displays? Crates, risers, ? and where do you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I use a riser box kind of thing that my dh made, it holds 50 soap, I have 3 of them. They look like this. I love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBKD Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I use a couple of "Desserts and More" multi-level servers from Wilton. I have soaps from a couple of sizes of molds, so the bars are different shapes. I group the soaps on the plates in stacks of five or six of each scent. If I have time, I will take a couple of pics at this Saturday's show. I like to use a lot of different levels in my display - it makes people look around at your stuff.

Georgia Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have a couple of wooden crates from Michael's (with 40% off coupon) that I painted. They are double duty - haul pillars to the show and display them on the table. I also have some cardboard risers that I got so long ago I don't remember...but they have held up remarkably well. Oh! They came from Gershel which is also where I got my table top spinner for clamshell melts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 kitn thats awesome your DH made those for you!!I use crates I bought from JoAnns, I used 50%off coupons on them and got them for SUPER cheap.. I like being able to re-arrange them.There are a few big ones, then small ones butted up. The small ones are CD crates! The other bonus of them is that they double as storage to get the soaps there They also stack neatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnkthailand Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Luminous - what an awesome display you have. Very - VERY - good usage of all of your space. We also have crates - old "repurposed" apple crates we got from a antique dealer for $6 each. Took them out - scrubbed them down with soap, water & pressure washer and they look so awesome. We just added cardboard risers which we purchased from Collector's House - which is where we also get our fitted table covers.You should also look in your yellow pages - alot of bigger cities have display houses that buy old/used displays when places go out of business or remodel and you can get some nice displays for over half price of retail. Normally in good shape.Just a few more ideas....:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shewill5 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Luminous and Chrisin.....those look gorgeous! Very well done and laid out....they make me want to touch which is half the battle in getting people engaged to conversate and buy. I hope to be half that good very very soon! Thanks to both of you.

Maggie Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 chrisinpa...your fall/Halloween display is awesome. I definitely would be drawn to your booth...to sniff your candles. lolI used to do a 2 day Christmas show at a community center. They closed their doors and I just found out why today. The treasure had embezzled $11,000. over a 3 year period. GRRRRRRR!!! Anyway...one vendor had the most awesome display that took her hours to set up and tear down...but man did she do the business.

RichardLOZ Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Here are 2 pics of our display.The first is from the first ever market we did years ago and the second is from about 12 months ago and shows to a degree what our current display looks like. Its amazing how it morphs over time.Both unfortunately were a little cramped. We now generally display over 3 tables, sometimes 4.Also shows the product and packaging changing over time as well. Quite interesting to look back on Edited November 18, 2010 by RichardLOZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Unfortunately I get the dreaded boxes with the red X Richard....no pictures.Hopefully it isn't just my computer because I LOVE looking at other chandler's displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I use Gershel (sp?) Brothers cardboard risers. Those things are amazing!! I can load them up with product and they are sturdy as can be!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietgirl2004 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Are those the ones that have like one piece of plywood type material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillenal Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 The cardboard risers are simply cardboard that come apart and fold down flat. I have been using a set for 4 years and they aren;'t worn out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlenutz Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Great display pics!! I have been looking for something to display my clamshell tartz on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-tangerine Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I bought some wooden shelves from Canadian Tire here when they were on sale. They have 3 shelves and sit on the table. The sides fold in and the shelves fold up for easy transport and they look quite nice. A lot of the shows I do I get 1 8foot table and it gets harder to find room for all my stuff. This is nice because it goes up. I also use hat boxes from winners ( your TJ Max) to raise up off the table. I'll see if I can find a picture later. My last show I had some gift sets for the first time, in a pinch I took one of my 4 inch deep containers and covered it with some extra netting, put it upside down and had a nice surface.
