My husband and I worked on a new display last night and I'm really happy with how it turned out. So I thought I'd share pictures!! Plus here's a couple pictures of my table top display boards as well.

Now I just have to work on more stock!! LOL

Thanks for looking!!

Love your displays and it's cool that your hubby helped you out. Where in IL are you from? I was born in Harvey (I think it has now been annexed into Chicago) my grandparents used to live in Calumet City also really close to Chicago.

Love em! Great job! What did you make your black bow boards out of? And what contraption did you use to get them to stand up? Lol, I ask everyone that last ques. b/c I'm trying to figure out how to do that one, myself!

We got some plywood and covered it in black fabric then used strips of ribbon to attach the bows to. As for the contraption on the back of them....LOL yes it really is a contraption!! My husband used a scrap piece of plywood, a hinge and some fishing line and basically made it stand up like a picture frame. It looks REALLY generic but hey, it does the job!! I'm sure you could use something else to make the boards out of though. The plywood is VERY heavy especially when you have 6 boards to haul around!! But honestly, I love them! I wouldn't have it any other way because there's plenty of room for all of my stuff and that's the most important thing!!

You could also get some easels to display the boards on as well.

I have a few of them too!!

Is your free standing peg board held together with zip ties? I kept looking for hinges and didn't see them and then noticed something that looked like a zip tie connecting them. If so, that's genius! Do they fold down flat?

Looks great!!! If you ever travel toward my area (NW suburbs of Chicago) to do a craft fair, I'd love to come stop by!! I've never been to a craft fair so it'd give a good excuse to check one out

very neat displays and cool idea about the stands..yea i can imagine plywood being pretty heavy and having to haul 6 LOL

That is what I use. A three way folding peg board wall. I would not trade it for anything. Mine is like 6 feet tall!!

Just an FYI. Slide some corner protectors on the corners of the pegboard. The corners will get bent if you don't.
