Calling All Your Artistic Types

[DoubleC]

Ok, what about this? Burlap attached to poster board with a picture frame type stand off the back. Sisal rope hot glued around the edge. U-shaped pins. Simple, light, and can be done on a shoe string. (spray the burlap with fabreze) Stencil your silhouette logo on the top in black paint.

Attaching your items with u-shaped pins should be easy and won't damage the items.

Sylvia, we obviously wear different size shoes I know what you're saying IS inexpensive, probably 15 bucks to get it all and make up some, but I don't have it right now. I don't have a glue gun, burlap, poster board, sisal rope, or those back thingys, and I don't even know what U shaped pin is?

And how would I stencil my silhouette?

Next month I could do that and have a ball. This month, a couple decorated 25 cent lampshades is looking very good.

Ok....

Find the burlap sacks at the barn or use any linen or burlap style fabric you have. even old cloth flour sacks would work.

Use baling twine from hay at the barn.

You would stencil by printing your logo and cutting it out tracing and filling it in if you have to.

As for the "board" you could use some nice sturdy cardboard from decent boxes. (or go ask for refrigerator boxes from the appliance store) That should be enough to make at least 10

As for as the "Stand" ... come on girl I know you've seen them before.

As far as "u-shaped pins" Think hair pins.

Oh, ok I got it (about the pins). Syl, feed hasn't come in burlap in 30 years, nor does flour come in cloth. I WISH. I used to collect those, but they're all in ohio. And cut out my logo? LOL, I haven't used any of that acrylic, it's still right here waiting to be sent to you. Staple a business card to it, maybe. And I knew what you meant about the backs, but I'm really starting to get embarrassed here, I can't afford the pins, much less anything else. and I'd like to not have to repeat that

I've seen oats here in Burlap a year ago. Maybe back east they don't do that anymore at all? Any yardage would work actually. I just like the burlap idea because it would give it a rustic chic look. Just plain white sheets cut to fit would work... you could even dye (stain) them with good strong coffee or tea to make them more antique looking. Even old doilies and doodahs can give it a vintage look. Maybe even old cut up faded jeans?? White glue would work as long as you can pin, clamp, or otherwise keep it held in place until the glue dries.

It doesn't need to be that kind of pins, you can just tie your things on with ribbons, or bits of leather thong. Or use small safety pins if you have them. Think woman think! lol

A business card might work temporarily. But eventually you'll want to make your logo prominent and permanent.

I like this kind of "marketing" I did it for years... window dressing, signage, all kinds of artsy fartsy display stuff.

I like your ideas....yeah burlap and sisal would be perfect, but I do have a ton of bailing twine here so it would work. Lots of old denim, every pair i own, LOL.

ooooo if you use denim jeans.... the back pocket of a pair could be your business card holder for the display! Just sew a line on the pocket so they stick up a bit and is easy to take.

OK, now that's way cool. My 'case' started out as denim pants cut off, a killer pair of wrangler carpenters, so denim it shall be!

[DoubleC]

I'm going to put the whole back part on the board and use the belt loops for hanging :-) I knew you guys would come through for me!

[DoubleC]

Well this is what I came up with last night. Be brutal guys because the barn I'm going to is going to be. Thanks so much, Cheryl

Well, Hmmm...

If you are planning to use the stool as a display then I think the background fabric is too busy. It takes away from the items you want to sell. In fact when I first saw it I didn't even see the pendants.

The denim in the basket is interesting but I think you would find the mare stare and eye of the horse thing would be better suited to that display. I really like the little bit of brown gingham.

Not sure what to think about the tin I can't see it all that well.
