Calling all Angels - Here's How I Display My Angels

by Cangel

I make and sell crafts that have to do with angels. I make angel pins, angel ornaments, and cross stitch angels.

When I set up my display I hang up a white t-shirt with a number of angel pins of various colors.

I also lay out my angel pins like I would lay out jewelry. I put them against a contrasting background so they stand out.

I do not lay out a lot of the same color combinations. If people are interested I can always get more of the same from behind the table.

Last winter I picked up a beautiful gold tree at an after Christmas sale. It is not a Christmas tree so, while it displays my ornament, it does not say 'Christmas only'. I also have a few other trees made of pastel colors. This shows that my angels are 'all year' ornaments.

I also went to an auto salvage place and bought a rear view mirror. I hang an angel from it to show another way and place to hand the angels.

I also have a sample fan pull with and angel attached.

My large cross stitch angels I display on a peg board behind me. I hang them so they can be easily removed for close viewing and then easily re-hung. The smaller pieces I display in frames. I just put out a few to get the attention of the viewer. The rest are in binders in plastic envelopes.

I also do this with my bookmarks. I bought a few small photo albums and put the bookmarks in the photo pockets. I put a tag with the price on the pocket so no one has to peel off the tag.

I always get to craft fairs early so I have plenty of time to set up my display. I also take the time to look at other displays to get ideas on how to improve my own.
