If you’re a crochet business owner looking to try out craft shows, I’ve got some exciting news for you! You don’t have to break the bank on expensive display items! In fact, some of the best display ideas can be found right in your own home. So, let’s dive into five display ideas that you probably already have!
Frames
Frames aren’t just for photos and artwork; they can be a game-changer for your craft show displays too! Use them as pricing signs by inserting a printed card with the price of each item. You can also utilize frames to showcase or hang small items like jewelry or accessories. Hang your lovely crocheted earrings or display your delicate necklaces in a creative and eye-catching way.
Baskets
Oh, the versatility of baskets! These can be used in countless ways to organize and display your products. Separate different-colored scrunchies or other small items into baskets to keep them organized and easily accessible. Line up your crocheted beanies or group them together by color or size in larger baskets. And here’s a bonus tip: try flipping some baskets upside down to create more vertical interest. You can stack products or even place other displays on top for a visually dynamic setup.
Cake or Cupcake Stands
Who doesn’t love a good vertical display? Anything that draws your customers’ eyes upward is a win for your craft show booth. So, if you have a cake or cupcake stand lying around, put it to use! If you’re a baking enthusiast, you might already have one, or perhaps a friend of yours does! These stands can beautifully showcase your crocheted items, adding height and visual appeal to your booth. And hey, even if you don’t have one, you can find super affordable options out there that will do the trick just fine.
Mug Tree
Now, I must admit, I have a bit of a weakness for mugs. Recently, I stumbled upon a PINK HELLO KITTY MUG at T.J. Maxx, and I just couldn’t resist (it was the last one!). Little did I know that mug trees, typically used for kitchen organization, could be so versatile in a craft show setup. Hang scrunchies, keychains, or even matching pairs of baby booties or mittens from the branches. It’s a practical way to showcase your smaller items!
Bowls
Prepare to be surprised by the creative possibilities of bowls in your craft show booth. Opt for a pretty glass bowl to add a touch of elegance or use a wire basket for a more rustic vibe. You can even place promotional materials like business cards or stickers in bowls for easy access by your customers. Just remember, if you’re traveling with delicate glass bowls, take extra care to protect them. I personally love my trusty wire bowl, which adds a touch of charm to my setup.
Using items you already own to create a craft show display is not only a smart strategy but also a cost-effective one. It allows you to repurpose items and create a cohesive look for your booth without breaking the bank. Plus, it adds a personal touch to your display, making it stand out from the crowd. So, give these ideas a try, and let your creativity shine at your next craft show!
