Cheapest Display Ever!

I don't think I can credit myself with coming up with this idea. I've seen this before. But,I wanted to tell everyone else about it too.

One of the cheapest ,coolest,simplest displays you can ever have or make yourself.

You can make as many as you want,in any color or pattern you like. It's utterly limitless in the possibilities!

How to make these: Take a sheet of heavy cardstock paper (make sure it's cardstock,light paper won't work) in whatever color you want for a display. Using a paper cutter for a straight edge,cut the paper in half long ways. Now take one long peice of what you cut and fold it in half.(You should have a rectangular peice of paper folded in half now).Unfold it so you can see the crease. Now take one edge (on the short side ) and fold it about 1/2". Now fold the other short side over 1". Now you should have three creases in your paper. Fold the peice in half at your middle crease so it makes something like a tipee. Now tape the other two folded sections on the bottom of it together with the 1" overlapping the 1/2" fold. Use the side view picture to see what it should look like.

Now you should have a tilted paper display that is cheap,and can easily display rings,earrings,necklaces,and whatever else you want.

**For those of you who don't do jewelry,you can use them to display tags,magnets,hair accesories,cellphone charms,headbands..basically a plethora of small lightweight items.

If you're afraid of them tipping over,simply weigh them down with a rock or antoher heavy object.

You can paint these or leave them as is. Or you can decorate them with stamps and stickers too.

Cut vertical slits in the top to hold necklaces and bracelets. Cut a horizontal slice on the top to hold your earring cards.

I've made several of these for my next craft fair.Sometimes when you can't afford a small army of little displays,you have to get innovative.

I hope you enjoy making your own creative paper displays..the sky's the limit!
