How to display dog collars and leashes at craft shows

[KarensK9Designs]

I am currently using rotating stands with pegs that my dad made for me to display my dog collars at craft shows. These stands sit on top of the table and the collars tend to fall off when rotated. My inventory has also expanded so I can't hang as many. Any ideas what I can use to display the dog collars and also my leashes? Thanks....

Pegboard stands might make a good display.

You could put a collar and leash on a plush dog as a display.

You could make a dog bed from an upside down end table with a cushion to put another plush dog in wearing your collar. The kids would love it.

You could also get a metal wire rabbit cage and clip your collars to it with a plush dog inside.

You could paint a couple of bookcases from Goodwill in a dalmation pattern and put your collars in colorful wire baskets and hang your leashes on the sides.

Look on Pinterest and see if you can get other ideas.

I use grid wall. I have pictures on my FB fan page you can look at...I think there is only one. But I'll post a couple more for you to see...

I've also used old ladders, painted off white and antiqued. Or whatever you call that. I ran out of room fast with those, but if you have some ladders laying around, it could be a good alternative till you can get some grid wall. The grid wall isn't expensive new, but it is costly if you have to ship it. I found mine on craigslist.

I have a medium sized stuffed dog that I use occasionally.

These are all great ideas, thanks! So when you use the grid wall, you just buckle the collar into the grid? Do you find people unclasping the buckles all the time and worry about them wearing out?

Thanks

Yes, I just buckle it onto the grid wall. People will take them down and look at them and adjust them. But your using quality hardware, I doubt they will wear out :)

Could you use a cardboard cutout of a dog silhouette - a big one, life size or larger - and use it as a display on the front of your table? Then attach a collar to the silhouette - or use something like that, with hooks added, to display lots of collars?

[WilderNorthDog]

If you wanted to get a silhouette like that. I know a seller on here that is awesome, and very reasonably priced :)

He made a boxer for me to use with my display. I'll put either a collar with a bow tie or a bandana on it at shows.

I will think about the silhouette...thanks for the idea!
