I have my first craft show coming up next friday. I was wondering how others have displayed the ornaments they made for the shows. I have packaged each one in a small clear plastic bag. Should I spread them out on a table or maybe stand them on edge in a tray. The last 4 weeks have just been a buzz trying to prepare for this.

I found a 3 foot Christmas tree in the alley a few years ago. Cleaned it off last year and put all my ornaments on it.

There re many things you can do. I am asuming you have multiples of many. They can be kept handy in a box. I like to have seperate boxes with a photo of what is in them. Then for displaying purposes I like to have a small Chrsitmas tree with a few hanging and have it on a lazy susan set-up so it can be spun around. Also you can hang them on a piece of pegboard not sure how big your space is but you can make this so it leans against a wall or have a back brace on it. Instead of a tree you can make a pole with dowels sticking out and hang them on it. You see these alot with jewlery people they hang chain and necklaces. Hope this gives you some ideas. You can always just lay them on the table. People want to touch so make them so they are accessible. Good luck with the show and let us know how you did. Like to start getting a feeling as to the climate of shows this year. I have my first in 3 weeks. Not selling any ornamates this year. Did not make any. Hope that was not a mistake.

Thanks for the input guys. I have somewhere between 3-4 dozen different designs and anywhere from 3 up to 12 of each one.
