Create An Easy Display Piece For Vendor Booths
Operating a vintage and upcycled shop inside an antique mall has stretched my imagination, thinking skills and creativity. When it came time to display the vintage flashcards I make (you can also purchase the vintage flashcards online!) I perused Pinterest and searched in the googler for inspiration. A vintage seed packet store display kept catching my attention. So using my imagination and creativity along with my thinking skills I chose to make my own. I’ll walk you through my process so you too can create an easy display piece for vendor booths, markets, or shops you may have.

How I Created An Easy Display Piece For Vendor Booths
In the supplies list above I included the wooden circle I used for behind the three tiered stand. I thrifted mine for ninety-nine cents, upcycling or “fifth sparrow-ing no more” at its finest! My letters spelling “Vintage Flashcards” were from my friend Charity at the blog Mornings On Macedonia. She cut them on her xTool P2 machine. I absolutely love the font and adding it to the top of my display stand was the perfect final touch!
Step One Of Creating The Vendor Booth Display Piece
I started by drawing a level line on my circle so I could attach the stand to it straight. I made sure my letters fit on the partial circle and moved on to attach the two pieces together.
Step Two Of Creating The Vendor Booth Display Piece
I used three screws to attach the two pieces together. Drill pilot holes first to keep the wood from splitting. Use wood screws, one in the middle and two on either side at the top of the display stand.
Step Three Of Creating The Vendor Booth Display Piece
Once the stand and the circle are attached together paint the display piece the color of your choice. After the paint dried I used a brown glaze and then a topcoat to seal in the paint.
Step Four Of Creating The Vendor Booth Display Piece
The letters were painted with white paint.
After those were left to dry I adhered them to the display stand with titebond glue.
