Link Roundup - DIY Displays

My long post for Wednesday is going to be how I made some pretty displays for my art show booth. So to lead up to that here are some links to other ways to make your own displays.

Indie Craft Shows - DIY Displays: An ongoing series of posts with display ideas such as a greeting card earring display, DIT display risers, and using a vintage truck to make a jewelry display.
Ring Display - Using a wooden tray, soft foam, and fabric.
Pendant Display - Cute idea using pieces of tile
Wire Earing Display - Made larger and with hooks rather than loops it could be used for bracelets, necklaces, etc.

And a few quick ideas for re-purposing objects as displays I've come up with:
  • Use terra-cotta pots as risers.
  • Lazy susans make nice displays that people can rotate
  • Small wire trashcans can be flipped upside down and used to hang earrings, ornaments, etc.tura
  • Large sea shells can be used to hold business cards or small items (I use this one)
  • Branches can be used to hang items like necklaces
  • Baskets come in so many sizes you can find them to hold almost anything from small jewelry items to large prints.
  • Connect 3 old doors together with hinges (think folding screen) and use for hanging paintings, frames photos, etc. I got this idea from the Shy, Novice, and Closeted Art Show

  1. Thanks for linking to my copper wire earring displays! They are super easy and can be made very inexpensively.
