Need ideas for displaying crib sheets

[Former_Member]

Hello! I have my first craft show (outdoors) coming up in a few weeks, and I'm looking for ideas to display crib sheets. The booth is a 10x10 tent - not sure if it's a good use of space to have a crib set up. I thought I would hang the sheets, but I want people to be able to tell what they are from a distance. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi Laura. Love your items! What kind of show will you be attending...if it is not a baby show, a crib might be a good idea if you can easily transport it. That would tell people from a distance that your items are baby related. 10x10 space is good, but getting people to come to your booth is more important.

That's a great point! It's a general show, so you're right, that would be a good way to let people know what type of items I'm selling from a distance. And it's close to home, so multiple trips is no big deal. Thanks!

You could also take a nice color photo of one of your sheets in use on a crib, and put it in a frame and display it by the sheets. A single crib rail on it's own could be converted to make an interesting display for the sheets. People are getting rid of their old cribs all the time because of changes in safety regulations, so you may be able to get one of these old cribs for free.

What about a ladder? Or maybe paint a wooden ladder some sort of baby colors. Then hang a sheet on each rung of the ladder. I think a crib would also be cute, but maybe just set up one side of the crib instead of the entire thing, and hang some sheets off the side of that.

I would decorate my booth sort of like a nursery. Baby, baby, baby! That will attract your targeted customers. Maybe you could find a miniature crib to display on a table and make a tiny little sheet to fit it? Or even get a little used cradle (I have seen these at the resale shop for around $40), make a sheet for the cradle, or even use it to display your sheets.

A doll crib or doll cradle may do the trick, as well!

Some really great ideas! Thank you so much for taking the time to give this some thought!!

I was thinking of doll crib and cradles as well, but was concerned that it would confuse customers, and they would think your items were for dolls.

I thought immediately of wash lines with clothes pins, maybe as "walls" for your tent. The sheets could be folded and pinned up, so they wouldn't take up too much room.
