Craft Booth

LearningAsIGo · #1 Sep 17, 2007, 07:26 AM

I'm taking a creative leap and I've signed up for a table at our company's craft sale. Its just a small event for employees only, but I want to stand out above the rest. I will be selling beaded jewelry (lanyards, bracelets, earrrings, necklaces).

As a buyer, what would grab your attention so you'd come visit my table?

As a seller, what tips can you share to display jewelry?

I have a very limited budget, so I'd appreciate creative ways to display without spending much. This will be indoors, so I won't have a tent or be able to hang anything from the ceiling.

Quality....and shine. Good luck, this is just great!
EDIT::::: I forgot about display as well.....
One more thing, my mother in law has a nice antique store. She had her friends bring up the jewelry they made. She has it hung on a small tree. no leaves, just branches, she painted it brown and stuck the trunk part in a piece of wieghted wood. It is absolutely beautiful. The tree limbs are bare, they hae little lims on them for bracelets and such...just beautiful

The tree idea start gave is a good one.

How about a (clothes) rack of jewellery.

Or a glass bottles with your beadwork around its neck and body.

Or picture frames with your work hanging inside/over it.

Or a Pot of beadwork.

Or glasses of beadwork.

You could have a theme like a picnic, with baskets and cups and plates of beadwork.
Or maybe an indoor theme like a feast of beadwork,with your work arranged as a table layout for a feast.

I am so glad it helped.

Find some plastic twigs or even better copper wire, then wrap green coloured twine and real flowers on it.And add the jewellery, create a pretty garden.

Remember to post a pic after your done, I am sure whichever you choose,it will be beautiful.
