Trying to Get Creative with my Displays...

My friend Candace of Chicky Girls Hair Bows invited me to showcase my crafts with her at a recent play-date meetup of her Mom's group. I jumped at the chance, thinking it would be a good way to get some local exposure and hopefully a few sales. It also gave me the opportunity to design some sort of display for all my products. My mom had an old bi-fold shutter door lying around, so I had my hubby cut it in half to make a display for my tins. I spray painted it and painted "Embellished Bayou" across the top of one. Here's how the door looked before:

I had a 6 foot table and a card table to work with. In the future I think I will need at least one more table so everything doesn't look so cluttered. Here's how the displays turned out:





I'll also need a table cloth for the card table, more risers (I just used a couple boxes this time) and a cute holder for my business cards.

Overall, I think it turned out nice. And I got a couple orders for the larger frames....which I can't take credit for since they were my best friend's design! I thought I would have a little more interest in the painted tins, but no takers so far! A couple moms who are expecting said they may order one of the triple tins for their nursery, so hopefully I'll get more orders in the future. If business picks up, I am considering doing a local craft show this fall, so this was a good "trial run". If anyone has any craft show tips, feel free to post them in the comments!

  1. I think your tins are so pretty! You are totally on the right track display wise. The bifold door looks great!
