Over 1000 Original Craft Booth Pictures, Plus Tips to Help You Create a Fabulous and Functional Booth for Your Next Craft Show

Whether you're designing a brand-new display booth or you're looking to make improvements on an existing craft show display, I have lots of photos, resources, and tips to help.

I've been collecting photos of wonderful display ideas for years, and I've complied a huge collection that's still growing! I hope my photos will help you create your own fantastic display that attracts customers, shows your work at its best and fits within your budget.

Creating your craft booth can be costly if you're not careful. Between tables, grid walls, lighting, risers, flooring, and table coverings, it all adds up pretty quickly.

Ideally, you should try to avoid as much trial and error as possible and get your booth right the first time to avoid wasting money on a design that doesn't work.

That just means you need to do some good research and planning before you start buying pieces for your display booth. The tips and photos below can help you do that!

On This Page

There's a massive amount of information about designing a craft display booth here.

You can access more than 1000 of my original craft booth photos from this page. You'll also find links to several articles about creating a great craft booth.

If you read through the whole page and follow all of the links, you'll know an awful lot about craft booths. :)

If you're in a hurry and don't have time to read the whole page, just click one of the links below to jump down to a specific topic that interests you.

The best way to really understand what works and what doesn't in a display booth is to look at as many booths as possible. When you check out examples, you'll see what effect different display choices will have on your own booth.

The point of studying the photos is not to copy someone else's fantastic booth, but to study it, find inspiration, understand what works, make good decisions about your own booth, and avoid costly mistakes.

I've organized the photos in three categories to make it easier for you to find what you need.

1. Parts of a Craft Booth: If you want to learn about a specific type of display furniture - gridwalls, flooring, lighting, pedestals, tables, etc. - click on the link above to jump to this section.

2. Type of Craft: Here's where you'll find pages of displays grouped by type of craft. If you specifically want jewelry booth photos, soap displays, clothing displays, accessory booths, etc., start with the link above.

3. Craft Display Best Practices: This section features collections of booth photos that demonstrate important concepts in merchandising and booth design. You'll find booths that make spectacular use of color, booths that effectively put products in the spotlight, and booths that break the rules. The link above will take you to this section.

When I went looking for portable craft tables for my booth, I couldn't find exactly what I wanted anywhere. I wanted a table that was a non-standard height and width, so I ended up making my own to get exactly what I wanted.

It was a surprisingly easy project, and I have no carpentry skills, so that's saying something!

If you've checked out commercially available folding craft tables, and you can't find the exact size you want, DIY foldable tables are a great option.
