So, as you all know, I’m madly preparing for the Brisbane Indie Designers Market next Saturday.
I have had some neat ideas for my displays, so I thought I’d share with you all and see what you thought!
First, I wanted some way to display a stack of my earrings and necklaces hanging… so I came up with this:
Know what it is? It’s a canvas! I’ve painted it black, and I’m going to attach some wood to the back to make a stand. I thought it was a neat way of displaying things without spending too much. Oh, and I’ve stuck those thumb pins in it to hang things on.
Second, I actually bought this cute little earring hanger at the Brisbane Stitches and Craft Show – I wasn’t convinced that I liked it until I actually filled it with earrings…
Third, I wanted something to catch people’s eyes from a distance – so I’ve printed out a stack of my product photos on glossy paper and made displays with them – oh, and my brand name, too. It looks a bit messy atm, because it was raining when I made them, and the card has warped a bit because of the moisture. I need to work out how to flatten them!
Last, I had a brainwave about how to display my Resin Candy necklaces… what do you think?
I’ve got them hanging on my candelabra! I can scoot this in next to my table, a voila!
I’m hoping my stall has a coherent ‘look’ – and that it looks stylish.. but we’ll have to wait and see until next weekend!
Oh, I’m also working on some new Resin Candy Earrings to compliment my necklaces – what do you think?
Right, signing off ’till tomorrow – hope I haven’t posted ya all out! Oh, and make sure to visit tomorrow – I’m very excited about the Artisan I’m featuring – with a $25 voucher up for grabs!

very cute displays!! have fun at the markets!
Jess, your candy jewellery looks really yummy! Great display ideas – good thinking with the canvas too! See you Sat! Ali 🙂
Your stall is going to look fantastic! I love all your ideas. I think the idea of using photographs of your work is a great idea and the use of a canvas is nifty.
In my first days of doing fairs, I used a canvas and it didn’t really work for me, firstly because I didn’t (couldn’t be bothered) figure out how to make a stand for it and secondly because I overloaded it with stuff. I in the end covered cork boards with fabric and hinged them together, and had ribbon to hang my jewellery off (attached to folded cards) and that works a treat as it’s quick to set up and pack away too. Your canvas isn’t overloaded and I like the black, and if you get a stand sorted it will work- unlike mine! Just a thought though, you could get some black or silver pins so that the white isn’t so prominent. I like the candelabra but I’d be worried that people might look right past the products on there, you might need a larger price sign (that clearly points out that it isn’t the stand that’s for sale!) for this and maybe dress it a little more to make it look more like a display. I hope you don’t mind me saying this, I have “lower intelligence” people come to my stand all the time thinking that the scrabble tiles I have used to spell the word “pendants” are actually pendants themselves and ask how they attach to a necklace- so you’ve gotta treat them like their IQ is much lower than yours unfortunately! Hope that helps!
Nice set ups Jess-Hope you had a good day 🙂
Thank you, Kerrie! Great feedback 🙂
I love the earring tree, the photos are great too, I did a photo thing for my stall, I got photos of my stuff printed on material at our local copy shop and made a banner, works well even in the rain. I also got them to print on some calico bags which i get lots of comments on
Make sure to take lots of pics when your display is up!! Love the earring holder and what you did with the candles!! Very cool.
Can’t wait to hear how it all works.
The new resin earrings are gorgeous. I love all the color!!
I am excited about it! I hope it all goes well 🙂
Your displays look great !
All so fabulous and professional looking! Particularly lovin that candelabra idea….
Looking good Jess.
I love the resin necklaces on the candelabra.
I also bought some canvases a while back but havent used them yet. I have seen people push the earrings straight through the canvas to hang them. Yours look great painted black.
Hope it all goes well for you.
Hi! I like the necklaces and the first display. I can’t figure out how to make flat things stand up.
I’ve just bought some from Michaels and FMG. Have to return some. Trying to find receipts and look cohesive too.
I tried hard for that cohesive look, too, Linda. With the canvas, we attached a piece of wood to the back to stand it up (kind of like a photo frame).
Great ideas! I guess this was a long time ago, but I’m sure it went well!
You look fabulous. I am one of the many people who follow this blog on the sly and stop short of cotonnmieg…nmt a good trait, I know. You remind me of my friend Carol who lives in Cambridge and has a fascinating sense of style as well. You too even look similar!This blog is one of the things I look forward to when I log in and it completely robs me of my sarcasm which I am usually known to employ when asked to comment on pages of lazy and unimaginative fashion bloggers. So, thank you.
