Now, I like to have everything in it's place for quick, easy access during even the busiest parts of the show; so, my box has two tiers: one for setup and display items, the other for my own supplies.
The perfect contents of your Box may differ than those listed here. This is just a start to get you thinking about what you might need. Hopefully, you will see a few “ah-ha!” items here that you hadn’t considered, and maybe you can school us on a few nifty tools that were missed.

ReplyDeleteanother great list! now i need to go buy a toolbox for all of this stuff :)
ReplyDeleteEventhough I don't consider myself a craft show expert yet I can say that I've been pretty prepared in every one I have attended to. I also bring with me my hot glue gun (usually there's a power supply somewhere) in case I have to glue back something that it may break. On my last craft fair I helped a girl glue back the decoration of her shoe. She loved my products although she didn't buy anything from me, but I surely made a good impression to her and she gladly took my card.
ReplyDeleteWe always bring a reciept book, in case anyone wants or needs one, a sewing kit, fabric glue, and bottled water.
ReplyDeleteVery good points, thanks for adding to the list everyone!
ReplyDeleteOn the excellent note of water/food: I always have a separate bag that I load up with water and a couple of snacks. That way, I don't accidentally leave anything perishable in my supply bag between shows. Ick!
Thank You for these craft show notes!
