Hello! I have been doing shows for 15 years and have collected lots of display pieces. My style is casual cottage style like my home so some of my home decor things can work well for my craft shows.
- I use vintage handmade quilts on my table, which seems to draw women in.
Some people swear by white or neutral color tablecloths so you have to decide what shows off your jewelry the best.
- I have lots of baskets lined with white handmade doilies. Baskets are great - you can arrange the items in them at home, pull them out of the big plastic tote, and set on the table - makes for a quick set-up. I also store everything in the baskets on shelves at home.
- I have different kinds of wrought iron stands and wooden boxes I have picked up at thrift shops or the Goodwill so they are very inexpensive. You want to have some vertical display pieces to add interest, not just have everything laying flat on the table. If you search for "jewelry displays" here on Etsy, you can find all kinds of things and get some ideas.
- I make sure I use a couple of common colors in the whole display so everything ties together. I use different quilts depending on the season, and I make my signs with prices for different groupings (necklaces, bracelets, pins, pendants, ornaments etc) with construction paper in a matching color - for example, pink in the spring, orange in the fall, red/green at Christmas.
- Adding something seasonal is pretty such as a vase with pink silk roses in the spring, some silk autumn leaves in the fall intertwined around your whole display, some Christmas balls for Dec. shows, etc.
I hope that will give you some ideas and best wishes with your show!
