Cheap way to display Jewellery at bootsale

We are doing a bootsale on the May bank hols weekend. I have some jewellery that I made a long while ago that I want to sell. I don't think i will really be making any more so don't want to invest in someting expensive to display so wondered if you have any ideas of a cheap way to display earrings and some bracelets without spending too much

    A friend of mine uses a simple cork board and pins the jewellery to that, but her stuff she sells is a sort of ethnic/hippy look so the cork board is ideal.

    You could cover the cork board in material and would look a bit nicer! Mug trees are ideal for displaying necklaces.
    A cardboard tube (like the ones used to send posters etc) are good to display elastic bracelets, also you could cover it in something to make it lok nicer.

    Hi, I used to make and sell jewellery at craft shows and bought a few jewellery trees from Ikea. They cost about £1 and come in a few different colours, you can fold them down flat for easy storage and transport and they hold loads of necklaces!

    We've used pin boards before at boot sales. Careful to keep your eye on them though... perhaps have one of each ear-ring on display so none go walkies.... ? :o

    Never thought of that great idea think i will put one of each earing out xx

    Pin boards are your best bet, but only display 1 earring just incase.

  • A stack of boxes covered in material - something opulent and eye-catching, like a wine red or royal blue - gives you something to pin jewellery on and "cascade" down it.

    If you can get long black evening gloves, stuff them (old tights.. the ME way!) - and they can be used to display bracelets..
