I’m certainly jealous. One reason I quit all the craft shows was the time and hours of set-up. But at the time when I was starting out, it was all hand-made, so quite inexpensive. I like the whole streamlining thing, though. Now I could take it all in my coupe out-fo-state if I wanted to!

Thanks!

@Jane,

What a great idea!

I think the original project you mentioned is Carolina Gonzalez’s How to Make a Necklace Bust.

I’ve sent you an email. )

@Rachel,

Thanks so much for your kind feedback! I think you’ll really enjoy having a faster, more streamlined display system.

For me, it’s made a world of difference in how I feel about doing shows – and in how I feel when I get home from them too!

Best of luck with yours.

I saw a posting on this site a while back, with a picture of a jeweler’s handmade necklace display – a cardboard cut-out of a lady from a 19th century painting. I took that idea and ran with it. At my last show, I had almost life-sized cut-outs(chest and up) of Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor, all wearing my jewelry, of course! I did them in black and white, for a vintage look, and to highlight the jewelry, which was brightly colored. They were a real eye catcher. I got alot of compliments on my display, which also included a large vintage mirror I got at a thrift shop.
If I could see a way to include a picture here, I would.

What a fantastic display system! I am going to have to try something similar because my current display takes *forever* to set up and break down (and I am still not even completely happy will how it looks)!

Thank you for another valuable tip!
