Displaying cards for sale

[catbyte1]

I will be in a small craft show next month and am wondering how to display my cards. Right now I have an easel with a large black satin covered board with several rows of black sewing elastic stretched around it and I slip the cards onto that elastic. I was kind of looking for something a little more professional looking but something that won't break the bank or I could make. Suggestions? :???:
Thanks.

I use a picture holder from The Container Store to hold the cards I sell at the office. Here's a link: The Container Store > Desktop FotoFalls Display Stand by Umbra�

I'll have to look for something like that around here. Don't have The Container Store here <sigh> but that at least gives me an idea. Thanks for the infor

Maybe you can get some ideas from my craft show table last year:

Thank you for the pictures. It was a nice looking setup. I have been thinking of using baskets. Are the ones with flowers on them actually boxes that you made?

I have pics in my gallery of my craft show set up (sorry dont know how to get them on here)
I got card spinners on craigslist from a store going out of business. The whole thing was actually 4 spinners each 5 ft tall. I took them apart and made small spinners for the table top. I did keep 2 tall to take to large fairs
You could also put them in the tins like I have my other things, maybe by theme

Lucky you finding those card spinners! Yes, your displays look really nice. I like the little tin tubs.

I have found lots of great stuff on craigslist..I look under business and see if there are any stores closing or people clearing out a closed one...I have also used chip racks..lots of little clips down in lines

Thank you The ones with flowers are wood crates I bought on clearance at Joann's. I just painted them black and added the flowers to go with my color scheme. A2 cards fit perfectly in them.

I'll have to check our Joanne's...they are in the middle of reorganizing and everything so maybe I'll find some deals!
