Hunting for Jewelry Display Bargains

I am donating some of my jewelry to a fundraiser so I have to put together a small display.  I have never participated in art fairs, thus I have to start from scratch.

I went hunting for bargains... I thought the most difficult display to find would be one for earrings.  I hope I was wrong.  I bought some sink savers in black.  They looked nice and perfect for my earrings.  I might have to find an Easel for them, but I am confident that I will have a wall to lean them.  They cost only $1.49.

I think I can join them together so that they look like an open book.  That way one will support the other and I would not need to buy anything else to keep them in place.

I also bought some necklace displays like the one I posted a few days ago; a bracelet display and some small dishes and bowls to put bag charms and key chains in them.

I spent a less than $20, and if I follow some DIY instructions I might have a bigger display for a few dollars more.

Do It Yourself Jewelry Displays

I bought these great jewelry displays at Michael's at a great price and with a 10% discount coupon.  But they did not have any earring displays, which got me surfing for easy and economic display ideas.  Here is what I found:

Earring Displays
This one requires more skills and tools, but I think it can be made from a picture frame to save time.

This one is simpler, but not as formal, but instead of using safety pins, I might use some jewelry materials.  It is also a good idea that we can adapt.  Buy leatherette fabric and cardboard to make our own.
