Christmas Craft Shows Display Ideas

Christmas Craft Shows Display Ideas<br /><br />Christmas craft shows attract both professional full time business owners and seasonal vendors who do work at craft fairs year round. Seasonal craftspeople are equally talented but less likely to have acquired art show tents and necessary booth set ups of their year round counterparts. During the season they must utilize artful and sometimes inexpensive ways to complete and showcase their wares.<br /><br />Christmas Craft ShowsMany Christmas craft fairs are held indoors to avoid the predicable inclement weather. Schools and churches often hold them in gyms and church basements and charge vendors a relatively small fee.<br /><br />These events may be smaller than others, but the potential to make money while getting exposure is there. While producers of smaller, indoor events often allot a length of table 10 feet, for example, vendors would be foolish to simply place items on the table.<br /><br />Christmas Craft DisplayEvery vendor is supplied a 10 foot long table and a folding chair. The rest of the display is up to the craftsperson. First, set aside a small part of the table to sit behind, either in the middle or on one side.<br /><br />Height. Bring items for sale up closer to customer eye level. To do so, purchase inexpensive tabletop shelving units. Purchase three or four identical, plain tablecloths and use one to cover the table. It must reach the floor. Cut up the remaining tablecloths into pieces that will drape over and cover shelving units. Take a piece of plywood or cardboard and cover it with one of the tablecloths. The board must be tall enough to reach from the floor to top of the display units, and not so wide as to prevent vendor from sitting at the table.<br /><br />If there is access to electricity, string Christmas lights around the edge of the table. It is more difficult but possible to string lights in front of the tablecloth in a pleasant patten.
