Preparing for a craft show!

Craft shows are a lot of work and preparation. The display should be thought out ahead of time to fit on the table via a trial run at home.
************
The cloth must fit very well without too much draping on the ground that customers might trip on and pull your displays off the table!

My German twig tree was photographed
by the local press before I was finished filling it!

Provide various height to give interest. Try stacking boxes or crates. Have little nooks to showcase a special item you have made. Keep small items up higher if possible.

I try to keep product in a container of some sort rather than just laid on the table. This is important for smaller items such as individual ornaments.
Larger items may sit by themselves of course.
**************
I like to use interesting containers such as a scoop, box, basket, crate or bowl. Some of these you may wish to add a liner.
**************
If the container is too big, then use some sort of filler covered with a cloth to conceal and add your product on top. Nothing is worse for sales than a large bin with something way in the bottom unseen.
