I’m so excited about my newest craft fair booth display piece!
Last week, I shared with you all my folding checkout stand.
I love the idea of having a designated area to ring up purchases and package gifts. Craft fairs can get really busy and your booth can fill up with people fast! So, a checkout area can act as a way to, well… get out of the way! 😉
This “thanks for visiting!” box will hold all of our essentials – pens and a newsletter sign up sheet, business cards, and some peppermints.
While we are packing a gift, customers can sign up for our newsletter, grab a peppermint, and a business card!
This box cost me $0 to make. I just used free pallet wood and some leftover scrapbook paper with my handy Cricut writing tool.
If you have a craft business or another side job , you may want to make a box yourself to treat your customers and keep all your promotional essentials organized!
Craft Fair Booth Display: Thanks for Visiting Box
Materials:
Pallet Wood
Scrapbook Paper
Cricut machine with marker
Tools:
Miter Saw
Tape Measure
Nail gun and nails
Directions:
- Cut 6 pieces of pallet wood 20″ long.
- Since pallet wood can be different widths, you will want to place 4 of your 20″ pieces together to form the bottom of the box. Then, nail your 2 20″ side pieces on top of the end pieces (nail from the bottom up). Measure the length between the 2 side pieces and cut 2 pallet pieces to that length to form the other sides.
- Nail the bottom and sides together.
- Measure the length from the inside of one short side piece to the other, and cut a piece of pallet wood to that length. Should be about 18″. Place that piece inside your box and adjust to fit as needed.
- Measure from the side of that piece to the inside of the long side piece. Cut 4 pieces of pallet wood to that length. These are the divider pieces. Mine are about 4″.
- Place your divider pieces inside your box, adjust to fit as needed, and nail everything in place.
- Sand the rough edges. Stain if preferred, but I just left mine natural.
- Use your Cricut writing tool to write Thanks for visiting! or whatever phrase you prefer and hot glue your scrapbook paper to the box.
- Fill with promotional products, business cards, flyers, peppermints, etc.
What I really love about this box is it’s variety of uses. If I have a special flyer or coupon, I can easily stick that in the box, and add things as needed.
You could even use this box as a craft display if you sell smaller items!
I can’t wait for our craft shows so we can set up our new folding checkout stand and this “Thanks for visiting!” box!
Update:
Our checkout box has been so great for holding business cards (especially when it gets windy at the outdoor shows), peppermints for a little treat, pens for quick notes or orders, and our newsletter sign up sheet!
I think our customers will love it!
