Looking to spice up your craft fair booth this year? Check out these creative and positively Christmas-y craft fair booths.
1. Garland can do wonders for you booth – and you don’t even need lights! This is a great option to give your booth a Christmas feel even if you aren’t selling Christmas items. I recommend using a garland to help people think about Christmas when entering your booth – especially if you have items that make great gifts.
2. Bring out the lights! We love metal shelving that is open and airy – and probably not too cumbersome to tote around. These shelves will give your booth/table height which is great when you have a small area to work with. The string lights seem to call people into your booth while still being magical.
3. Now, I didn’t say these were all “practical” ideas, but I couldn’t help but be inspired by this booth! A LOT of time and effort must have gone into this display – and I realize that not all crafters have the time, space, or resources for such a grand booth. However, let’s pick some aspects that you can try on a smaller scale. The giant candy can be easily made with plastic wrap and styrofoam and can be displayed on the walls of your booth or even the tables for a sweet display. You could also make a mini gingerbread house out of cardboard and collage clay and incorporate it into a display as well.
4. The floating element of this booth is simply wonderful. Whether you’re selling ornaments or just using some dollar store ornaments to liven up your display, hanging them from varying lengths of fishing line will give your booth a magical feeling. Just be sure that your ornaments are high enough to not bump heads.
5. Let’s just take a moment and enjoy the beauty of this entrance. Okay, now that we all realize that this is beautiful, we can all realize how expensive this must be. But it sure is pretty to look at.
6. What I love about this booth is that everything is so well coordinated and pretty to look at. The banners and all of the different items share the same color scheme. This can help your booth not look too cluttered or too “loud.” I suggest coming up with a plan when making items for Christmas fairs and see if a color theme will help you focus your goods and create a unified booth.
7. Last but not least, let’s just throw a full blown Christmas tree in the middle of a booth. Because why not right? A mini fake tree in a corner of a booth could also work. I love the layout of different sized tables around the tree as well.

This year at the Louisa Christmas Festival I used a 6 foot tree as a display rack, I bought (on sale) a 6 ft tree that was branches sprayed white with berries and lights instead of a pine tree. Since the Festival is outside, I “anchored” the tree in a silver bucket filled with gallon plastic bags filled with white gravel for easy clean up. I sprinkled some loose gravel on the top to cover the bags. My vendor booth was on a corner so I placed the tree on the corner to attract traffic coming both ways. I decorated the tree with small items for dolls — necklaces, purses, hand knit sweaters, etc. Everyone commented on the tree and how the necklaces sparkled in the sun (thank goodness because last year it rained!!) My sale tree was a hit!. I look for after season sales for display items. Great prices and some great ideas.
The Craft Bazaars that I did in November didn’t have any Christmas decorations on it.I live in Columbus, Ohio and we’re having seasonably warm weather right now. People were not in the Christmas spirit. I did use some ideas that I had seen on other craft tables that you had shown weeks ago. I believe they helped a lot. I design and create
Fused Glass Pendants and Earrings. I used shoe boxes to create an extra shelf and covered them with a pretty table cloth. I put more velvet and burlap cardboard hangers for the necklaces on the shoe boxes. I have various sizes of jewelry boxes that I use because my pendants look different on different colors. I also bought some plain white square plates that I had propped up on candle holders. I have lots of chains that I did not put out. But I’ve decided the next time I am getting some tree branches, spraying them gold, put in a vase with flower foam to stick the branches.I can hang my chains on this, but I can put some kind of roping around the branches to make it festive with whatever the season might be.
If you have some other ideas for me I’d love to hear from you.
