Craft Ideas: Display Stands
Just a few questions to start off with:
Are you a crafter?
Do you make greeting cards; either handmade or printed with your artworks on them?
Do you attend craft fairs or are you planning on going to some craft/art fairs?
Have you gotten your cards ready and all of a sudden realized you do not have a stand to display them on?
If you answered 'YES' to any of the above questions then I have a simple message for you:
I have written several blog posts on how to make 3 different types of greeting card display stands using easily available materials.
My 1st article was written in 2009 and has been on the 1st page of google search results for the search term "How To Make A Greeting Card Display Stand" for a while now.
You can use any material you are comfortable working with e.g paper, wood. On this page is the 4 Tier greeting card display stand I made recently for one of the Craft Fairs I attended.
At the end of the page, I have included pictures and links to the other 2, showing you how you can vary your designs.
This greeting card stand has a wooden effect because I used a wooden effect sticky decorative paper.
This paper can be gotten from major stores. I got mine from the LIDL supermarket where it was on sale. See the sketch and specifications you could use to make your own stand.

A simple sketch with specifications of the Greeting Card Display Stand to help you.
HOPE YOU WOULD ENJOY MAKING YOUR GREETING CARD STAND. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GET ON.
All the best.

Check out this patterned 3 Tier greeting card display stand perfect for anyone thinking of booking a table/space at a Local Craft Fair and selling their handmade cards or printed greeting cards. Comes with a FREE demonstration of how to make it.
I particularly loved taking part in this year's Mudeford Arts Festival . It was family themed and was held at the Mudeford Quay in Christchurch. There was a wide variety of artists and works on display and the weather was brilliant.
It is always interesting seeing how a painting affects people and how people react to it. In the last few months I have taken it to Sherborne, Christchurch and Winchester where the interest it generates has only but intensified.
My Art is currently on display at Pop Up Poole and would be there till the 23rd of May. Below are some pictures.
This is a free very well illustrated step by step guide you need for making your own greeting card display stand just in time for that craft fair.
They're 100% handmade. Made with thick embossed paper, fabric and Acrylic Paint. Thus they are made from mixed media. The inside is empty, all you have to do is to write in it using your own words...telling him/her the very thing he/she loves hearing.
