Jewelry Craft Show Displays

I don't do many shows, so the displays I use are usually home-made and inexpensive.  Since we are in the middle of show season, I thought I'd re-post my DIY earring display.  Here is the original post.

The earring cards and hangers were a great investment.  Each card has a little plastic back 'hook' so I was able to hang them on ribbon.

The hooks are adhesive and attach right to the back of the card you want to hang:

I purchased the hangers from the Homegrown Gems shop on ETSY.  The shop has a lot of great jewelry cards and tags along with accessories.

I've also found that baseball trading card stands make great earring displays.   I found these on EBAY: 

They're the perfect size to display earrings as well as my business cards:

Good luck in all of your shows!

DIY Craft Show Earring Display

A couple weeks ago I posted a few tips for selling at a craft show.  You'll find that post here.  I needed something to display my earrings on and didn't want to spend a lot of money.  I wanted to make sure that my display didn't distract too much from earrings themselves.  I also needed something that had some height to it.  After searching and not finding anything I liked, I decided to make my own. 

Supplies:

• 2 framed cork boards.  Mine were 11x17 inches  (I purchased them at Joann Fabrics.  With a 50% coupon, it was less than $6 for both)
• 2 sets of hinges
• ribbon (mine was 1/2 inch)
• staple gun

 (1)  Attach the 2 boards with the hinges.  Make sure you decide how you want the boards to fold before attaching the hinges.

(2)  Cut strips of ribbon and decide how far apart you want them.  I measured the space between the ribbon and taped them temporarily to the boards.

(3)  Use a staple gun to attach the ribbon to the boards. 

Here is the board lying flat. 

The nice thing is that it can be folded for travel and storage.  I kept the background as the corkboard, but you could cover it with paper or fabric before putting on the ribbon if you want a different background. 

The finished display:

And here's the final display at my show!  It's the perfect display to use with my new earring cards.

This was a quick project and something I can use again!
