Kristen and Lindsey Archer of ARCHd have added height to their craft show display booth with these adjustable white metal shelf units from IKEA. You can buy extra shelves to add to the four that are included with the base unit. These are lightweight and can be changed up depending on what you are selling at each show! Slide on gold wire baskets for under-shelf storage—great for photos and art prints.

This smart and simple display from Meghan Makes Do utilizes IKEA’s popular pegboards, which are available in 3 sizes, for vertical displays. Hang the pegboards in a craft show tent using s-hooks or twine. Hooks can be added for hanging hats or handmade zipper pouches. The letter holder baskets can store greeting cards vertically.

Looking for display options for necklaces at craft shows? This IKEA IVAR side unit (pick up at least 4 at $12 each) was transformed into a folding screen with some simple hinges! (Get the tutorial at IKEA Hackers.) String on some jute for texture or add some white screening to hang your craft show items for display.

This clever A-frame jewelry display would also work for purses, winter hats, keychains, and more. The designer used inexpensive KOMPLEMENT shelves from IKEA and drilled holes to hang 25MM square hooks. Paint it with chalkboard paint to get an entirely different look! Get the tutorial for this jewelry display board at IKEA Hackers.

IKEA’s VARIERA bamboo silverware trays can be used in an unexpected way. Look how beautiful they look when used to display Sara’s wallets and zipper pouches? We love how visitors can flip through small handmade items more easily when they are displayed upright. Find more of her work at Sew & Tell Handmade.

This TOLSBY frame hack from IKEA Hackers offers a simple and inexpensive way to display earrings at a craft show booth. Just cut plastic cross-stitch canvas to size, and these stands are ready to work for you. Note: The TOLSBY frame is no longer available at IKEA’s website, but we’d love to see what crafters can do with plastic canvas and the 99 cent FIESTAD frame. Or perhaps you’d like to see what a larger picture frame would look like with window screen as an insert.

IKEA’s MULIG clothing rack works great for hanging craft vendor displays. This crafter at destashio used chandelier chain, s-hooks, and gutter screens to hang everything from wooden signs to wallets and framed art. When disassembled, this rack takes up very little room to transport! Check out more of their display hacks at destashio.

With a layer of soft felt and lots of individual compartments, this KOMPLEMENT tray insert from IKEA is ideal for an elegant display of rings, earrings, necklaces, watches, and more, as you can see from ana.wohnen on Instagram. And best of all, you can just stack up your display and go, with no need to reorganize them for every show. And remember: When you give your guests a luxurious display, it can be easier to command higher price points for your items.

This past weekend my family and I went to IKEA and I was blown away by how many amazing items they had that could be used for craft fairs. I have my first big craft show of the year coming up at the end of July so display ideas have been on my mind a lot lately. I just had to take a ton of pictures and share with you all the affordable craft fair display ideas I have. I"ve included links to all the items to make it easier for you to find. Items range from $2-$110 so there is something for every budget.

For me, one of the things I"m always trying to find new ideas for is taking up vertical space. I have a 10"X10" tent with three folding tables. I hate that most items end up being displayed flat on a table so when I saw these peg boards I knew that I could display some of my items vertically and really showcase all the amazing products I have.

These SKADIS pegboards come in three sizes and can easily be hung from your tent using s-hooks or twine. You can also purchase these letter holder attachments which are great for displaying pouches or hats. The regular hooks would be great for hanging jewelry, key chains or wristlets. So many possibilities with these. You could also easily create some kind of wooden stand that they could sit in and then they could be placed on a table or the ground. I purchased two square 22" peg boards at $13.99 each and 6 letter holders and two sets of regular hooks at $2 a piece. In total $44 bucks. Here"s a picture of how I plan to use them for my display.

Wandering through the living room area I found this adorable plant stand. The SATSUMAS will run you $45, but would look so good as a stand alone display for pouches, bags or baskets or set on top of a table to take up some vertical space. You could also use it for your plants during your off season.

Speaking of plants, take a look at these amazing BITTERGURKA hanging baskets. They are made from metal and wood and you can connect them together to create one large hanging display. I imagine using them to hold some cute little crocheted toys. I love that you can easily hand them from the bars of your tent and at $10 bucks each they won"t break the bank.

If you want some cheaper shelving options for your craft fair display then there are plenty to choose from, like this LAIVA book shelf. For $20 you can have a super cute shelf to display your products on. Just keep in mind you will have to assemble it at the show if you don"t have a large enough vehicle.

TheLACK book shelf will run you $60 bucks but has a really unique look to it. This one I would recommend attaching somehow to one of the poles of your tent if possible to provide some extra support. You could use this to display pouches, baskets or stuffed animals.

Utility carts are perfect for craft shows. They are easily movable and can be used as a stand along display for smaller items. The SUNNERSTA and the RASKOG are $30 and would make the perfect addition to your craft show display.

Side tables or night stands make great display pieces. You can set them on top of a table to add some height to your display. This NESNA side table for $15 would be great for holding baskets filled with toys, coffee cozies or hats. I couldn"t find the NESNA online, but the KNARRAVIK is similar.

The HJARTELIG is a bit more expensive at $40, but would be perfect as a vertical display. It"s great for displaying a hat on a mannequin or a basket filled with goodies.

Also for $40 is the LIERSKOGAN table. This one is amazing. The little basket and table top are adjustable! You can easily have a bunch of goodies in the little basket area while also having room on the table top to display a basket or bag. It would be great for displaying a hat on the table top and then having more hats down below in the basket.

The simple design of the GLADOM is perfect for any craft display. The metal tray is removable. It would look great sitting on top of a table with pouches or wallets laid out in a circular patter on the tray top. You could also easily fit a basket under the tray to cover the legs and display more items. At only $20 it"s an affordable addition to any display.

The HJARTELIG room divider is a bit of an investment at $99, but with a little construction can become a fun little shelving unit or hanging display. You can easily hang hangers from the slats to display scarves or shawls. Or take out a few of the slats and insert solid wood pieces from the lumber store to create shelves.

The VILTO towel ladder is perfect for displaying blankets and quilts at craft shows. It can easily be rested against a tent pole or even hung from the tent along one side. At $50 it"s a smaller investment that can also be used in your home during off season.

This DYNAN towel rack is perfect for displaying baskets, hats or even rolled up blankets or quilts. At only $20 it"s the perfect addition to your display. I love that it can stand on it"s own and is easy to assemble the day of your craft show.

Both the RAGRUND (left) and the MOLGER (right) are great shelving options. They are a bit more expensive, but can give your display a more rustic and homey feel. Just keep in mind you will have to transport them to and from your show so you will need a large enough vehicle to hold them or plan to assemble them at the show.

The STOCKHOLM 2017 ash and the STOCKHOLM 2017 walnut are great trays for displaying small items such as cup cozies, jewelry, headbands or wallets. They are perfect for setting on your tables to break up space or setting on top of upside down baskets to create vertical display space.

I love these simple little crates. I already use few similar ones in my current display, but you can"t beat the prices of these. The small size KNAGGLIG is $6 and the large size KNAGGLIG is $10. I love turning them on their sides to create a taller shelf or even stacking them to take up more vertical space.

TheBULLIGbaskets are a pretty and affordable option for your display. Great for holding pouches, hats, or rolled up blankets. Or lay them on their side to create a little mini shelf on your table. They are only $9 so you can get a few to create a cohesive display.

If you are looking at getting some affordable craft show display items then IKEA is a great resource. I hope you found a bit of inspriation here. Make sure to pin your favorite ideas to pinterest. You can follow me here. If you use any of the above mentioned items I"d love to see it. Share your pictures on social media and make sure to tag me @meghanmakesdo or use #meghanmakesdo.

You should start planning for the next festival on the last afternoon of your event while you are tearing down from the current show. While it is still fresh in your mind you should be able to make note of what items sold best, what displays provided the most sales, did you like how certain displays were set up, and what comments did customers make on your displays and how you can improve.

We find that part of the success of any festival is how the products are displayed. You know… you have been in the booth where every item is lined up in a row. How boring! Make your displays interesting. Since many of our items are primitives, country and vintage looking we like to used old found items for props in our displays.

Step ladders make interesting displays too. The steps become small shelves for a variety of items. You can also use the ladder to hang longer products. Old rung ladders are also work well for displaying longer items, simply drape over each step or hang down the length of the ladder.

Another one of our favorite display items is an old chippy paint door and old wood shutters we found. We have nails at different heights on the door. This allows us to display a variety of products. Doors not only give a great place to hang things from but also provides a break from any neighboring displays. The shutters also make wonderful display dividers and places to hang things from.

Be on the lookout for old items that normal people would easily discard. We have found great display items on Ebay, flea markets or even in the neighbors trash! People throw out the most interesting items… parts of old fences, worn and weathered doors, disregarded windows, and more. Most of all have fun with your display and as always learn from year to year how you can improve it for your next show.

If a shopper is looking at your display and thinking: why are these soaps sitting on cake stands? It looks cool but I don’t see the connection. Their attention is taken away from your products.

Each element of your display must make sense. If the vendor selling natural and organic soaps used baskets to house their soaps, the baskets should all have the same look and feel. They wouldn’t want a wicker basket on one side of the table and a blue-painted basket on the other.

If you imagine the card maker’s display with the cupcake stands; they wouldn’t want to add a wicker basket to the end of the table to house their wedding, graduation, and baby shower greeting cards. If they used white cake stands, balloons, and decorations, they’d want to add white recipe boxes to display other categories of greeting cards. Recipe boxes would be cohesive with the theme.

It might be a cool idea for the card maker to keep within the baking theme and use a whisk as a display prop; sticking cards between the wire loops. However, if the whisk kept rolling off the table or cards kept slipping out, it wouldn’t be a functional prop.

A smaller apothecary cabinet could sit on top of your craft show table. Open some of the drawers, which act as display space, and keep other drawers closed with overstock in them. You could even remove some drawers, creating cubbies for display space.

Smaller benches could sit on top of a table to add height and another layer of display space. You could also place a bench in front of your table for lower display space that expands towards the aisle.

If you have a bigger craft show booth or opt for a smaller table, or no table, you may be able to work a bookcase into your display. It gives you more height and shelf space to work with.

It would be a great prop for a vendor selling home goods such as art, candles, signs, stationery, vases or pottery, etc. But it could also work to display and stock items such as bath & body, knitted goods, etc.

Small vignettes could be created on each shelf to give the shopper an idea of how they might display the products in their home, as well as other home décor items they might pair them with.

These items can be used as risers, giving you display space on top. Or you could turn boxes and crates on their sides to create cubbies. You could group several together to create a shelving system that sits on top of your table.

I always like to suggest vendors dress the form when using a life-sized one to display items such as scarves. No one wears nothing but a scarf (hopefully not;) or a big wool scarf with a short-sleeved t-shirt. Help shoppers imagine what they might wear the scarf with (e.g. wool scarves would be worn with a winter jacket). Or, if using a bust form to display a top, show shoppers how they might layer or accessorize it.

A taller stool could sit in front of your table and display a product such as a handbag, stuffed animal, home décor item, etc. Smaller chairs and stools can sit on top of your table to add height and another display surface.

For a simple DIY project, you can use hinges to connect two doors and create a self-standing screen. Paint the doors to match your brand and add nails, hooks, shelves, etc. for display space within a larger booth or behind your table.

At smaller craft shows, shoppers at your table can sometimes see the back of the vendor’s table behind you. Adding a divider behind your table (as long as it doesn’t encroach on the other vendor’s space and there isn’t the risk of it falling over) visually cleans up your craft show display and removes visual distractions behind your table.

The top of the dresser can be used as display space, as well as the drawers if you stagger them opened and closed. Drawers that stay closed can house extra stock.

If there’s a way to hang items above your table you can use a hanging fruit basket, which gives you height and layers of baskets to display product in.

It could also work as a table alternative for a vendor selling items related to laundry/ironing. A clothing vendor could display stacks of folded t-shirts on top of the board. Or a vendor selling cleaning supplies could use it to display their products.

There are many ways you can use pegboard in your display if you’re willing to get crafty. It can be placed in frames to give you a surface to hook items to. You can create a larger structure that sits on top of your table or even a freestanding structure that replaces your table.

If your brand, theme, or product line is related to food or dining, you could create an entire place setting at your table. Instead of food on the plates, in the bowls, or inside serving dishes, you could display your hottest or yummiest new products.

I’ve seen shutters used a couple of ways. A solid piece of wood can be attached to the back and the unit positioned so the shutters are angling up. Then items such as art, cards, etc. can be slotted in, and each shutter acts as a pocket. Items can also be hooked onto each shutter to add hanging space to your display.

Vintage suitcases can be left open and stock displayed inside. The back of the lid can also be used to pin signage or products to. You could also keep suitcases closed and stack them on your table to create a platform and add height to your display.

Trays can be used on your table to add separation. You could also create a vignette within one. Imagine a stack of books sitting in a circular tray. A candle sits on top of the books, a boxed candle in front and a vase with a bouquet of flowers sits next to the books. Now the shopper can imagine how beautiful the vendor’s candles will look in their home and know exactly how to display them.

This could also be done with bathroom items to display bath & body products. An apothecary jar with cotton balls, a vintage mirror, and the bubble bath, soap, and bath bombs from a new product line.

A smaller vanity table could work in place of a table. You can use the tabletop for display space, as well as the drawers if one or two are opened. Or you could simply store extra stock in the drawers.

If you have a way to hang window frames or screens within your space, you can then hang items from the frames or hook them to the screen. Ornaments could be hung using fishing line and then tied to the top of a window frame.

Smaller wooden ladders can be placed on top of a table. Each step creates a small display shelf. Bigger wooden ladders could be used in place of a table. If you have a wall to lean it against, a blanket ladder could also be handy for hanging items.

If you have the tools, you can cut logs so they have flat surfaces on the top and bottom. You can carve a groove into a log to stand up signage or artwork, or simply use the flat surface of a log as display space.

These are the techniques the big dogs use (meaning retailers that make a lot of money). They don’t always have enough salespeople to help every shopper, so their displays must do the selling for them.

The right shelves need to be sturdy, portable, and flexible in design. If you find or DIY just the right system, shelves can be a fantastic, flexible option for displaying your crafts.

White backdrops are very popular, and do work most of the time, but this dark backdrop makes the white tableware look perfectly elegant and luxurious. Here"s a great example of a display that increases the perceived value of a product.

This booth display idea would work equally well in a portable booth as long as you had a sturdy vertical surface to support it if you buy the leaning style shown here.

You don"t notice the shelves at all, unless you"re examining booths for display ideas. And that"s exactly what you want in a display - something functional that vanishes into the background to let the product shine.

Next, we have a pair of bookcases used as display shelving.  This booth display idea is less portable than other options, so you may find it more appropriate for longer shows that allow you to leave your display set up for a few days. It"s not particularly practical for shorter shows.

I love the way the display creates a little piece of home in a booth. It allows you to imagine the beautiful mugs and bowls on display in your own kitchen.

Here"s another photo that doesn"t quite do the display justice (last one, I promise). But the shelves are so different from anything else I"ve seen, I wanted to share at least one photo of this booth.

Of course, breakable glass is not as practical for portable displays that need to move from show to show. However, it creates an airy effect that would be pretty if you were designing a more permanent display and didn"t need as much portability.

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Applied is the world’s largest maker of chip-making equipment and it also makes the machines that are used to craft flat-panel displays. Today, it is announcing new manufacturing tools that process the chemicals needed to create displays with extreme precision.

The company is announcing new physical vapor deposition (PVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition machines that deposit thin layers of chemicals to create displays. The machines can be used to make portable or large-screen TV displays. They can be specifically used to make thin-film transistor (TFT) screens, liquid crystal displays (LCD), and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens.

“The display industry is undergoing one of the most critical technical transitions in the last 20 years –  which is being driven by advances in TFT technology,” said Tom Edman, group vice president and general manager of Applied’s Display Business Group. “Applied Materials has developed a proven portfolio of systems to help our customers make the technical leap to implementing these new films. Customers have reported excellent results with our systems and we already have received multiple orders from major display manufacturers.”

The new system uses rotary cathode technology to deposit a new substance called Igzo, to create the transistors, or basic building blocks, in an electronic screen. The material can overcome “mura effects” that reduce the quality of the display. Screens made with the technology should be more beautiful and affordable. They can deposit films as thin as 1.6 millimeters on sheets of glass.

We don’t design our products to meet the standard; we design our products to exceed the standard. Covered by ISO9001 and ISO14001, Viewpointec"s engineers design LED displays to provide a consistent light output and light color for many years.

What kind of content will you display? Static images or moving ones? Will you have audio, video and news feeds? Will the content match the color scheme of your décor?

Where will you place the LED displays? Higher traffic areas will get more views. Don’t place them too high, making it difficult for viewers to see and interact with them.

That is the general rule of thumb, which is why you shouldn’t be tempted on going for that LED display discount on bulk purchasing. First know how you will manage your content because that is what people will be interacting with. Hence the hardware should support the software; not the other way around.

Your content should be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This will affect the wording and typography used and also the placement of LED displays within our manufacturing facility.

When these goals are displayed on LED screens in factory working areas, break rooms, cafeterias and other high traffic places, you can be assured that maximum number of people will see them.

Many manufacturing firms have visitors coming to their workshops. Display current news and information in your lobby to make it look fresh and modern. Share some of the internal LED display information to visitors as well so they have a perception that you are honest and on track.

In this situation you can also consider integrating way-finding into your LED signs so visitors can interact with the screens which will help them find their way around the facility. With advanced technology such as beacons, you can turn someone’s mobile into a digital sign and direct them all the way until they’ve reached the intended location.

While digital signage in your manufacturing facility can be used for reminding employees of safety rules and procedures, it can also be a part of your emergency alert system. Clear instructions can be given to staff and visitors regarding evacuation procedures and meeting points. Just one command is required to change the content on every LED screen in the network and warn everyone of the emergency. Because LED displays are placed in highly visible areas of an organization, triggering an alert system within your content management software is very much sensible.

Digital screens are now pretty much everywhere. Every person has access to either a mobile device, reads news on the web or is a part of a social networking platform. This trend can be enhanced by supporting it with a digital signage system. Your physical environment can be transformed into an information rich space for the factory workspace and the back office. By giving more information to people and delegating work, other resources are freed up, employees are empowered to participate and your audience is engaged throughout your workplace to build a friendly community. By adapting to digital signage, manufacturers today can solve many of their workplace issues. Communications can be improved, processes can be streamlined, employee engagement and morale can be increased, accidents can be reduced and there will be an overall savings of time and money within your facility.
