1) Bath & body craft show display with stacked crates

Use several crates and configure them in different ways to create height in your craft show display.

 

2) Scrunchie craft show display adding hooks to a crate

I purchased some screw-in hooks, pre-drilled holes into the back of a wood crate and then twisted the hooks in. I hung scrunchies from these hooks, but you could hang a variety of smaller items such as jewelry, sticker packs, bookmarks, etc.

 

3) Lotion displayed in crates with other wood fixtures

The wood tray, tiered fruit stand and shelf work well together to create cohesion in this craft show display.

 

4) Bag craft show display using crates and a shelf

A wood shelf is placed on top of two creates to create a shelf and display space above and below for bags.

 

5) Crates stacked vertically and foam core shelf added

These crates are stacked high to create height on the craft show table and additional display space. Foam core is used in the bottom two crates to create an additional shelf.

 

6) Crates stacked next to a craft show display for a checkout stand

Secure 3 crates and stack them next to your craft show table to create a checkout stand that can store all your checkout items (e.g. shopping bags, tissue paper, cashbox, calculator, etc.).

 

7) Crates turned into a tower for a Christmas craft show display

These crates are stacked and secured together to create a Christmas tree shape. It makes a statement and gives lots of display space for products.

8) Crates turned into a hanging bar for a craft show display

Securing a wood post to each end and adding a dowel from one wood post to the other creates hanging space on your craft show table. 

 

9) Crates turned into a clothesline for a craft show display

This display also uses two wood posts secured to the side of each crate and a string tied to each post to create a clotheline and interesting display.

 

10) Crates stacked to create a mult-sided display on a craft show table

Crates can be stacked on a table or on the floor to create a circular tower that allows craft show shoppers to browse at different angles. 

 

I hope these ideas inspire your next craft show display!
