How you display your wares is an
important part of your craft business.
Whether you have only a table or a whole tent to showcase your craft,
you can do so much to show your style and create an inviting ambiance that
says, “Come in and look!”
Here are a few displays
from the Hudson Valley Etsy Team and others who were in the Garrison Craft Fair
in August. You couldn’t find a
lovelier spot for a fair, on the Hudson opposite the stony edifices of West
Point, with the river only a few feet away from the tents.

Here is a very effective
display by Jess of
Knot by Gran’ma.
Her two tables are covered in black, and her boxes and baskets are
painted black. This gives great
cohesion and brings out the bright colors of her unique hand-crocheted monsters
and soft sculptures.

A black basket and child’s
chair adds to the charm!
Many of us are constrained to
keep our displays as light and simple as possible. Sarah-Maria of
Meerwiibli has two racks for her
dresses, two tables for her accessories, a mannequin and even a dressing room
for her customers of light and easily assembled materials. Her tablecloths, banners, and even her
hangers match the colors of her clothing designs, making a fun and enticing
display.
I loved the clean modern style
of
L&M Studio! It was like
stepping into a chic shop in NYC.
Her shelves are made from Ikea furniture and wire cables attached to her
tent frame hold up her wonderful birdhouses, lamps, and planters. Gorgeous work in a great setting!
More displays from the
Garrison Craft Fair coming soon!
