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!

ETSY Seller ~ Homegrown Creativity

I'm so excited to share one of my new favorite ETSY sellers with you.  I recently purchased new jewelry and business cards from Homegrown Creativity.  Here is a link to their shop, run by Marie and Heidi:    Homegrown Creativity

I bought plastic backs lips in their shop which I used to hang my earrings on my new display.  They stick on to the back of the earring cards for hanging.  Pretty cool, huh?  

You'll find a a variety of business cards, tags, jewelry cards and stickers in many pretty designs and cardstock options.  My experience with these ladies was fantastic - a great product and fast turnaround.  I love how my new cards turned out!

Thanks Marie and Heidi!

Craft Show ~ Jewelry Display Tips

First,  a disclaimer:  I only do a few shows a year and they are all inside where I have one table.  I'm definitely not an expert, but have put together a few display tips to share. 

• Have a consistent theme and look.  For me, this begins with the earring card holders and price tags.  I recently purchased ones from a new favorite seller on Etsy.  I'll be posting a separate topic on this!

• Use a nice table cover.  This doesn't have to be expensive!  I purchased a few yards of a suede-like fabric from Joann Fabrics when I had a 50% off coupon.  For my jewelry, a nice solid color works best as a backdrop.  Anything with a print would be too busy and distracting.  Other options for a table cover are sheets or blankets... be creative!

• Vary the height of your display.  I had a couple photo storage boxes that I placed on the table, with a fabric napkin over them.  I would have liked something a bit higher, but didn't have the time to come up with something.  I apologize for the clutter behind the tables.... everyone was still setting up!

• Search the internet for ideas.  Here's just a few of favorite discussions of displays I found:
• etsy
• softflexgirl blog
• everything etsy 

• Group 'like' items together.  I had bracelets and necklaces in pretty shades of blue.  I grouped those together along with several pair of matching items.  That way potential buyers can see the whole collection together and buy the whole set.

• People love looking through my bargain bin!  I always have a bowl with earrings under $10.  Most often people would find something in there first, then pick out something else too.

• Think outside the box when it comes to displays.  Buying displays can get expensive, and for someone like me that doesn't do a lot of shows, it's not feasible.  If you google 'jewelry displays' you'll come up with lots of ideas - people are so creative!  I made a new earring display for this past show.  DIY instructions coming soon!

I hope you find these helpful!  I'm always looking for new tips and would love for you to share yours!
