DIY $10 Market Display Stand Tutorial 🌸 How I display my art prints and products at art shows

- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- I've been using these foam core stands for the last 6+ months without any problems! They're lightweight, sturdy, and really affordable to make. I tried to make this tutorial really clear (especially for number challenged artists like myself) and you can adapt it to whatever materials you can find. The pattern is pretty straightforward!
I've used these stands for my art prints, greeting cards, and other stationery products without any issues. You can easily clip or tape on signs and other decorative elements if you want to make them fancy.
🌸 Materials:
- 2 sheets of foam core (20 x 30 inches each)
- hot glue gun and glue sticks (I used 3)
- exacto knife
- ruler, yard stick, measuring tape, whatever you have
- markers or pencils
- painter's tape (optional but helpful)

Just made 3 of these for my market! A tip for people, you can get a poster print for 20x30 at Walgreens. They run photo deals often. Got one for $12 and glued it to my board and cut it to be an organic shape. Worked a LOT better than my home printer and didn’t have to get it to line up perfectly
I absolutely love how much care you put into your videos and making sure every type of learner is covered!
This is fantastic and SO well explained. Thank you! I'm going in 4 days to my very first art fair and after panicking about how I will display my work I finally found something I like, I can afford and I feel confident I can make myself. Big love from Buenos Aires.
You are a genuis!!! I’m doing my first art market here soon and I am on a strict budget. This is a life saver and so cool!!! Thank you so much for making this, you made this look so pretty too.
I am so happy you found it helpful! 🥰 Good luck with your first market, I am sure you're gonna do amazing. Let me know how it goes & if you used my display design in the end!
Thank you Rebecca, this really helped! I have greetings cards, so needed it smaller. I basically put your sizes into cm, so that was easy ( less math!) and then I had to add 40% to every cm measurement and it fits large square cards and 4 regular sized cards, with 3 levels. I can fit 4 cards deep, including their plastic protective bags. I have 55 greetings cards in this little stand! I made mine in cardboard as I have tons of it and used the best quality box that was shipped to me with a large craft supplies order. Hope this helps if anyone wants to resize. Going to use my cricut to decorate and used large wooden dowels for the little stoppers at the front. They just slide into little holes to keep cards from falling forward.😁😁
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It saved me from spending over $100 on premade stands!
Yay I am so glad it helped!! Hope you have a great event! ☺️
FANTASTIC video! your instructions were very clear and I can't wait to try this. I have been struggling for a way to display my greeting cards and this will be perfect!
This is so helpful!!! Just starting to do markets with my art so this is a great cheap way for me to display prints and get going at a lower cost but definitely like that they’re light and I don’t have to cut/lug around a plywood stand. Will definitely be making a sign too, so professional!
Yay I am so happy you found this helpful!! That's exactly why I made the tutorial, I was totally in your shoes. I hope the shelves work out perfectly for you and good luck with the markets! ☺️
These are fantastic! You're so kind to share these!!! ❤❤❤
It’s a great tutorial! I honestly never thought of making my own displays! I’m in the very beginning stages on wanting to work towards vender events so thank you so much for making this video!
What a fun video! I actually had a bunch of foam board that I bought over a year ago at $1.99 each and both sides are shiny!! Love this project and how easy and economical it is! Thanks so much!
This video is exactly what I was looking for! 🥺 thank you for saving me so much time and money! 🙌🏻
I am so glad I could help!! Thanks for watching 😊
You just saved me so much money! I made one, threw it down my stairs, and it held up! lol It was the best way my daughter could think of to see how sturdy it would be. We are going to use these for now on for all of our booths. Thank you so much!
Omg, I'm so glad it held up! Happy I could help! :D
I'm so glad I found your video! I was just about to buy acrylic display pieces that weren't quite right! This could be made in wood quite easily, as we have the tools! But before I hit my husband with it, I will definitely put one of the foam core ones together!
I need to display cards and fabric traveler's journals , plus other things
Thanks so much!😂
I'm so glad it was helpful! I think it would be a great piece made of wood, I would love to see it if you ever go that route in the future :)
@luckysprout Thanks so much! Right now I have him drilling holes in glass blocks...I will be working heavily on my display pieces all through September!
Our 9 day event begins September 26th. It is our first major event!
Where I am in Ontario , Canada these foam boards cost $1.50 for white and $2.00 for black. I made a white one then today I bought some black foam boards and cut out the pieces and will glue it together tomorrow. Can't wait to see how the black looks!
You are amazingly creative and funny. I just love learning from you! Thank you
A super easy way to weight down light items like this is to tape a couple of tabs on the back side that you can place sand bags on.
Sandbags are easy to make using packing tape and ziplock bags - I like the 1 gallon bags. Just cover the bag in the packing tape for reinforcement and durability, fill the bag with sand, and place on whatever needs holding down. If you want to get really fancy, cover the bags with fabric. Either plain or covered, the bags tend to lay flat for packing, and can be stored under your car seat between shows.
I use the rice heating pads that you can microwave. You can use anything from fabric to a long gym sock or a fabric wine bottle gift bag. Fill it with rice or beans from the bulk section at your supermarket. This makes them really economical and dual-use.
Wow, Rebecca, it's amazing to see that you handmade your marketing display. As a factory that mainly targets building marketing displays, I know how hard it is to make it by yourself. After seeing your display, I would like to share with you some tips that I have acquired during my 20 years in the display industry.
Firstly, in order to make it more stable and stronger, as you will take it to shows once a week and it needs to fit in your car, there are two things you can do. You can add a few PVC clips to the display edge or use your glue to cover the edge. This will protect the display from moving and also prevent your fingers from getting cut.
Secondly, you can use the "mortise and tenon joint structure" to make the boards connect to each other. It will have more stronger structure.
In addition to foam board, you can also use cardboard and rubber bands to create a pop-up display that can be folded flat. When you need it, you can simply unfold it and it will pop up as usual.
If you're interested in learning more, please feel free to contact me, I can give you the diagram (without telling my boss, just kidding)🤣
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. Just made one & it is super.
Beautifully done.
SUPER inspiring. I need to do this today! Thank you!!
😮 this is the video I needed!!
I'm so glad I could help!!
Such a helpful tutorial, thank you for sharing!!!
I've been looking for a way to display my handmade ear crystals (seeds with crystals on top)... I'm an acupuncturist and design these to be worn for health and as jewelry. Foam board is perfect for my project and I'm so grateful to you for taking the time to walk us through the steps. I'll need to modify dimensions to fit my little boxes. Thanks so much!
Just what I need to display my greeting cards and not have to spend a lot of money!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the video. I'm grateful for your instructions. I'm doing my first art market. I'm so happy that I didn't have to go out and purchase a lot of materials.
That's great! I hope your first market is a big success! 🎉
I have been searching for a display option that wasn't $100 and i can do this thank you. Tutorial was easy to follow and the diagram was a great touch
Aw I'm so glad it was helpful! Good luck at your events! ☺️
Wonderful Rebecca! I made 2 and they turned out great!! Thanks for the great instructions and demo :)
Yay I'm so happy it worked for you! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so much. I’m getting ready for my first market. And this is amazing. No words to thank.❤
Thank you! This is a really great project to use up the foam core I already had available. My first art show is coming up & I don't want to invest too much yet. Very detailed which is sometimes the part that is missing from other videos.
Thank you for this!! I make engravings and have always struggled with positioning them behind everything. This will allow me to easily display them behind my crafts and they will no longer be hidden! :)
Stop worrying you are doing a fantastic job there. You should be proud of yourself. I defo need to do this. Thank you ❤
Brilliant!!! Thank you so much for sharing! This could be modified and used for so many different items! I sale handmade leather goods and plan to use this stand for the passport holders and porfolios that I make instead of purchasing high price stands. For outdoors, one could make a bottom tray on the backside and add some weighted material such as sand in containers to keep it stable.
Thanks for the tutorial! I had some trouble with which way to score the ladder part of the piece. The second one I made came out perfect however with my bungled one as a guide. These are going to be great to display my cards. So cheap to make but look really nice. I appreciate that you were able to figure it out for me !!
This is brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm getting ready for my first art show tent and this is so helpful!
This is fantastic! You’re a great teacher.
Don't worry, you're doing fine! I need to use this for something - thanks!
Fantastic Rebecca. I’ve been looking for a way to display my art prints for ages. Thanks so much ❤😊
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad it was helpful! :)
absolute genius DIY.. thank you soo much for sharing this.. i will definitely be trying this....THANK YOUUUUUU
Thanks so much for this tutorial!! I've been looking to make something exactly like this for my art displays. Inexpensive, lightweight and functional...thank you!!
I am so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 😊
Exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks very Much
I'm so glad it helped! :) Thanks for watching
I am also preparing for a stationery market event soon. It is a very cool display stand.❤❤
Thanks so much. Purchasing racks are very expensive. I'll certainly give this a try. Great job!
Oh wow, such a simple design, but so perfect for display!
Just a quick suggestion about the long lines. You can use the edge of your second piece to join the "dots" :) and when it comes to the second piece just use the leftover bit of the piece from which you cut the sides!
You're so right! Sometimes the giant obvious answer is hard to see right in front of you 😂
Dude, THANK YOU for this amazing tutorial, in addition to the explanation of how you made your sign topper! I was curious about that lol and I was just gonna draw mine, but was worried about the laminate messing up my inks. 😅 I have been trying to find displays for my prints and greeting cards, and this will be so perfect and way more cost effective! Thank you for explaining it so well and giving multiple types of visual aids and tips on how to do this. I also have issues with numbers and seeing the diagram really helped. I’m off to the dollar store for foam core, gonna try making this at work today ❤
I am so glad you found it helpful! I hope you were able to make something awesome and functional 🥰
Thank you for showing this, I was looking for a way to make one. You made it very clear and I loved how you made me laugh. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much for your time and detail.
Thanks Rebecca, this tutorial was great , well done!!! I used it for a Makers Market to disblay my Sea Glass art
I'm so glad it was helpful! Hope the event was a success!
Great job. Looks like exactly what I need for a card display. Thanks for sharing
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching! ☺️
THIS is amazing!!! I need this! I've been procrastinating getting a step display because they're so expensive or people's reviews say they arrived in broken pieces -___-
Just built my own print display from watching your video. Thank you so much for putting this video together! Looking forward to seeing how my art market sales are after changing up my display. Hoping a vertical display rather than a basket will help, lol.
Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you found this video helpful! I do both this display plus a basket people can flip through - bestsellers go on the display. People seem to like the interactive element as well 😊 hope your markets go well!!
You are incredible. May God bless you and prosper your business. A very helpful video. - Blessings 🙏 from USA Pennsylvania
So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Very well done I am going to try this! Thanks for the video Tutorial !
Genius!
Thank you so much! 🥰
This is the best tutorial I have seen in a while!! You are so natural, and pleasant! A terrific design and cheap and easy to do! Thank you so much!!!! Sue
This is the best thing ever. Great tutorial, thank you so much!!!
I had alll of this at home. Thank you!!
Thank you Rebecca, this was perfect. I’m looking for a stable shelf display for my cards and this should be perfect. Your measurements and the diagrams the way they are laid out make it easy to scale down. I was also thinking of doing slightly more than a right angle, so the displays angle back on a slight slope. I was also wondering about adding an extra panel, cut in the stepped design, to glue to each side on the inside back for reinforcement. Not sure if I’ve explained it well. If I do that, I will tag you on instagram so you can see it.
Just made one and it was so easy! thank you!!
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you so much, it all made perfect sense!! 🤗
Your explanations are incredible! Thank you!
Thank you Rebecca good job

That's so kind of you, thanks! I am very glad you've found my videos helpful. Appreciate it :)
I wish I had this tutorial when I started doing markets a year ago. No worries since its so budget friendly I think I'll make some anyway and change my set up again😂😂😂
lol I can't tell you how many times I've changed mine!!! Hope it turns out great!
This was a great video! Thank you
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Thanks for your useful video ❤😊
Excellent video tutorial.
Many thanks!
Can you create a video showing how to design, cut, and attach(assemble) Foam or PVC or Cardboard End Gondola displays/ floor displays/ retail display/ pop display?
and Branding Stickers?
There's a shortage of such content on UA-cam, and I'm eager to learn the process.
I love those ideas but don't know how to do any of them 😅 thanks for the suggestions though, if I ever do find a reason to build those kinds of things i'll definitely film the process!
Thanks for doing this video. Where did you get that cute couch? I love the pattern on it.
Thank you! It's a hand-me-down so I don't know where it came from originally, sorry! I like it too though :)
amazing tutorial! I'm a jewelry maker but do you think this material works for a jewelry display too?
There is a significant difference in Art supply store foam core vs dollar store foam core. If you want it to last a while invest in the better product.
Thanks for the tip!
Love
Hi Rebecca. I´m trying to figure out what ´foam core´ is in German. I´ve never seen this material here in Germany. Perhaps I can built it with MDF wood. Looks good.
Hi! I tried looking it up too but couldn't figure it out! I think the most likely places you could ask would be art supply stores or office supply stores... it's often used for presentation boards or as a base for mounting images. But certainly you could use other materials like wood! It would definitely be more wind-proof that way. Thanks for watching :)
Where to buy sheet please send link
How would you weigh it down on your stall so it doesn't blow away?
You could add an extra piece to the bottom that you could weigh down with other items from the back, or use binder clips on the edges and tie them down to your table... Pretty much any variation of these ideas!
Is there another material i can use? I've only been able to find a3 and a4 sizes of foam core where I live in Australia
Hmmm maybe you could improvise using corrugate and paint it a solid colour after? Office supply stores sometimes have presentation boards that are similar too you could try
I used cardboard and wooden dowls to keep the cards in place. I decorated it with vinyl on the top with my logo. It will be covered by your prints or cards, so you only see the sides. You could paint it or use washi tape on edges. Hope this helps

This looks amazing, just a little to fast for me.
I like your video, I do. But for me there is far too much talking and some explanations were unclear and did not make sense. I'm really trying to follow what you are saying and doing. My display did not come out right the first time but I'm going to try again. 💛
This was super useful. Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 🥰
