Craft Show Tips & Display Ideas

By Kim Layton 14 Comments

Craft shows can be a profitable way to sell your handmade creations, and displays play a big part in getting a second look from relaxed shoppers strolling by.

Get their attention with a well designed booth that shares your work in the best light while giving them easy-to-understand pricing and selections.

Here are a few fabulous displays to spark your creativity…

This chalkboard ideas is super cute and easy to make!  It would get my attention from a distance and bring me in for a closer look.

Have you used chalkboard paint in your display?  If you haven’t, it might be time to give it a try!  You can even change the sign to meet your needs in seconds.

Got small items?  Try this fun display idea.  The fish bowls are a cute and the little price signs make it easy to shop.

Cover bricks with burlap or your favorite fabric for a beautiful jewelry display.  What a cleaver idea…I wish I thought of it!

Repurposed dressers and small cabinets are always cute!  Grab the next one you see by the dumpster and give it a new life. 🙂

I’ve been a fan of these Ginger Cake little owls for years!  This shelf lined with sweet little stuffed creatures is sure to attract customers for afar.  She also has everything clearly labeled for easy shopping.

Turn everyday items into great display props.  Shop around your house or you local thrift stores.  Look for items that will give your display a little height to keep it interesting.

    I love all the ideas I see for craft fairs. Except, I sell large items. Quilts, baby blankets, and tote bags. I never see any suggestions for larger items. Any suggestions would help! Thanks. Keep up the great work!

    I love these display ideas but I agree with Amy J as I have large items like quilts and totes and would LOVE to see some display ideas for these.

    First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which
    I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how
    you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
    I’ve had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
    I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to
    begin. Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!

    Have you ever considered writing an ebook or guest authoring
    on other sites? I have a blog centered on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my subscribers
    would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.
