Pick Up Sticks – New Booth Design

We’ve already said it in a previous post - January 2011 was a month for the record books as far as wintry weather goes – Atlanta and New York both received FIVE times as much snow as they usually do – and we were right in the middle of it during show season.  

We know that meant some of you were unable to get to market to see our new booth design (special thanks to booth designer Raymond Kaiser from Toronto, Canada).  So, here it is! 

We received great feedback – everyone seemed to like the new look, especially those cute little white stools.  Judy fit right in – in fact, she was the belle of the ball wearing her black and silver.  And we had lots of people ask about the new display boards in the white frames.  So many, in fact, that we decided to use this post to give you directions for creating your own boards.

We bought picture frames from IKEA ($19.99 each)  and removed the glass.  We then replaced the frame’s backer board with fabric-covered foam core board (we used spray glue to get the black fabric to adhere to the foam core board).   Once you have foam core board in the frame, you can use u-pins( http://bit.ly/egU8op) to display the charms on the foam core.  

If your store has a specific color scheme, choose a coordinating color fabric, hang the frame on the wall and you have a great jewelry display that matches the décor of your store!
