I've been doing craft venues for about 12 years now and offer a few tips. Most events I've been to where tents are required, they limit the size of the tent to a 10x10 size. I made a checkout station out of a folding bookcase, but still didn't feel comfortable with a cash box that could easily be picked up and walked away with. So I made a 4 pocket apron which held cash, my phone and my credit card reader. When starting out most have a tight budget and have to improvise with a lot. I bought the single, full flat sheets from Walmart for tablecloths and boxed the sides via safety pins, which still allow me to pull extra stock from underneath but was unseen. Books, boxes, cigar boxes with fabric draped over them make great risers, just as fabric, wallpaper of shelf paper covered boxes, vintage suitcases, baskets and crates make great display options. The cheaper options for setting up your booths is unlimited. The DollarTree, Dollar General and Family Dollar has lots of options for displays as well. Just rethink an items use for you.

[@EclipseBotanica]

I really love all these ideas! I found a lot of thrift stores but deffinetly making new uses out of things you already have is a great idea. 🤍

[@WomanUnfiltered]

@@EclipseBotanica Oddly enough, even though I build my own risers, I still use a lot of what I started with. It's easier to pack up most of what you're selling in the things you use to display or risers. It sure makes hauling it all fit better if you don't have a huge vehicle to do so. Lol

[@fmliberatore599]

Thank you so much for the tips!

[@Dwinn10055]

Thank you for the great tips … I needed some guidance!😊

[@franceshenry6299]

I have the same cash box! LOVE IT! I use the cable that came with it to lock it to my table so if anyone thinks of stealing it they are taking a 6’ table with all my product on top also! Lol

[@EclipseBotanica]

Omg that’s genius 😂😂😂

[@msanng1107]

I love Edison style bulbs I had bought them for my patio but they weren’t long enough didn’t think about using them with my canopy! Thanks for the idea

[@EclipseBotanica]

Ofcourse! 😊

[@laurasmith9726]

You can use baby bed bottom sheets for tables work great! Been doing vendor events for years but I learned a couple th8ngs just from this video

[@EclipseBotanica]

Oh that’s smart! Thank you for the tip!

[@deborahbeatty]

As a veteran vendor myself, I recommend getting a 10x10 canopy since that's the most common booth sizes. I am also leaning toward an 8x8 for smaller spaces, too. Also, I never use a cashbox, even if they lock, they can be easily picked up and stuffed into a bag. I actually use a bamboo prep station with 3 drawers I got from Walmart and it goes as a bottom layer under one of my displays. Nobody can tell it's where the cash is.

[@EclipseBotanica]

That’s very smart!

[@robynwhitney5295]

Do you have a link for the bamboo station?

[@BlackAmethyst2]

Thank you for this! I'm preparing for my first vendor event. Many of these things, I didn't even think of!

[@EclipseBotanica]

You got this!

[@lindaramachandran6145]

What a phenomenal presentation you did! I am 72 years old and seriously thinking about doing farmers markets. all the suggestions you had were fabulous. I’m subscribing and I will be looking for your next video.❤

[@EclipseBotanica]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wileycovington4497]

I have the same cash box. I love that it came with a lock strap so it can be attached to a table or something you can loop it to that is large. Just make sure it can't be slipped off.

[@EclipseBotanica]

Mine did not come with that, that sounds awesome!

[@wileycovington4497]

@Eclipse Botanica I'm sure you purchase one separately.

[@kellymyles2266]

Those were all amazing! Thanks for sharing. It’s so hard to determine what you might need when going to a show. I like to also include I rug on the floor in my both. I use a cow hide rug, so it folds up really easily and isn’t too heavy to carry. That’s also essential I find - making sure your smart about how you pack everything. And having a foldable cart will save your life and your back 😅

[@EclipseBotanica]

Yes both of those are really good ideas that I learned further down the road lol

[@kindywoodandiron1756]

Great information! I definitely got some ideas! Here is a tip for you, wipe you acrylic stands and signs with a used dryer sheet to keep the static down.

[@dillydallykarliduncan3976]

This has been the most helpful video i've seen so far! thank you!

Awesome video

[@sweetpecan70]

Thank you for the info.

[@kimaustin5409]

Most helpful video for me do far. Thanks a bunch

[@margaretdevries8090]

Some places do not allow canopy’s indoors! As it obscures views all around! Outside you really need one as far as lights many charge extra for access to electric sockets , and lit candles are a no no as they have fire rules ! So if you are going to one that you have no knowledge of? Ask what is allowed! Every place differs Many places limit crafters of same stuff !! Be nice if you gave prices for the display items Get a battery operated fan, those are small and work great!

[@EclipseBotanica]

Great ideas! Thank you!

[@MariaDryna]

Do you have a video of your complete setup? Perhaps a video of you actually setting up and breaking down?

[@EclipseBotanica]

I don’t yet, I haven’t had the time with how busy it’s been getting every month closer to Christmas, I’m going to try to do one in the spring when it’s slower 🤍

[@lauriewilson4741]

Hard to choose but maybe the Edison lights are my fav

[@EclipseBotanica]

Yesss I love them 🤍

[@emilysaelao7568]

Another way to check if the bill is real with out holding it up to the light.. the collar on the presidents shirt is raised so you should be able to run your finger over and feel the texture.

[@EclipseBotanica]

REALLY? I have to remember this next time that’s some good info!

[@emilysaelao7568]

@@EclipseBotanica I was a head cashier for a while and I hated holding it up to the light didn’t want my customers to feel like criminals so just run it though your hands a few times while talking.

[@karenlow3595]

This was awesome, 🎉 you are so cute , great job, very helpful

[@EclipseBotanica]

😆 thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@allblakc3468]

THANKK UU

[@paulieabeles2149]

It’s great that it locks, but it’s so light-what’s to keep someone from just picking it up & walking away with it (then breaking it open later).

[@EclipseBotanica]

I keep mine close by at all times. If you want something more heavy duty be prepared to spend a lot more money, unless you could build it yourself? There may be a KZbin video on that 😉

[@tracymartinez7710]

I love all these ideas I’m totally going to try this I’m wondering where do you buy your candle scent bottles from

[@EclipseBotanica]

The large amber ones? I got those from Amazon 🤍 they’re on my Amazon store front

[@hinge777]

thank you for this! im about to have my first show in 2 weeks and im freaking out....

[@EclipseBotanica]

You’re going to do great!

[@craftlover9702]

Very informative video, well done. Please keep one thing in mind regarding the money box, someone can always just walk off with the whole box. I had never actually thought about that but someone once pointed it out to me...

[@yahiscomingsoon5562]

that was the first thing that came to my mind lol, I'll stick with a pouch

[@EclipseBotanica]

This is a good tip, my video is old I need to make a new one and make a point to say the cash box is not a good idea lol

[@raerae8801]

where did you get you mini spoons and do you collect emails

[@oldmanofthemountains3388]

You may want to look up how to identify legitimate bills on the FBI website. Most counterfeit bills are printed on bleached $1 bills. The tester pens only check the material composition of the bill itself (and they show up as being legit since they're real bills, just not the correct denomination).

[@EclipseBotanica]

Say whaaaat? I didn’t know that! Thank you so much for the information! That’s deffinetly good to know

[@oldmanofthemountains3388]

@@EclipseBotanica yeah, it's a big problem where I live. The FBI spends a good bit of time here.

[@stephaniekilpatrick1028]

Did you say Canton First Mondays!? That's super local to me 😁

[@EclipseBotanica]

No way!

[@stephaniekilpatrick1028]

@EclipseBotanica yep! It's about an hour from me. I've never gotten to go to Canton for first Mondays but it stood out to me. I know plenty of people who make that trip 😁

[@jenmv3483]

I've seen so many vendors with wrinkled tablecloths, what do you think? Does presentation matter, I was thinking of a portable steamer....

[@CricketsBay]

Yes to the portable steamer if there's a place to plug it in.

[@msanng1107]

I hate when my tablecloths are wrinkled and have been thinking about a portable steamer

[@theoilygoddessjourney-xo5094]

LOVE!! please link me those cork spoon jars

[@EclipseBotanica]

They are on the website qosmedix.com I believe!

[@hurricanemala8186]

Question about the lights... how do you run electricity to them? Does your booth always come with an electric option?

[@EclipseBotanica]

The ones that I rent from do always have 2 electric outlets. You are required to hook everything up to a power strip

[@gwenethnotpaltrow]

May I ask where you source those frosted glass jars behind you with the spoon and cork top ??

[@EclipseBotanica]

Qosmedix!

[@Theslboutiquellc]

Where’d you get those glass jars

[@cynthiabell5749]

Where do you plug in your Edison lights and fan outside?

[@EclipseBotanica]

I have a booth that’s inside a big steel building and they have outlets in the corners of every spot 🤍

[@Turtle-eg1lb]

My sister had her cash box stolen last week. First time in 15 years.

[@EclipseBotanica]

Oh no! I’ve seen a bunch of ideas to avoid that like hiding it or buying a strap that attaches to something so that can’t happen. That’s so awful!

[@Tradewindsvintagehi]

I like to have a tall-ish folding director’s chair so I can sit up front.

[@EclipseBotanica]

That would be perfect 🤩

[@lovnbnhome]

The cashbox is really nice but if you leave the table and box unattended there’s nothing stopping anyone from just picking it up and walking away. I help my daughter sell Girl Scout cookies in front of stores and I have heard of that happening more times than not. People just walking away with the cashbox. It’s really sad and upsetting.

[@pamshaffer8579]

I agree. We hide our cash zippered bag (small- a little more than the length and width of a bill) inside a zippered bag under the table INSIDE the plastic tote which held our set up. TIP: we named our cash bag a girl’s name so if my husband or I need to ask each other for it we can just say, “Have you seen ………(name)?” We are not announcing where our money is.

[@meredithlane7050]

What advice can you give to someone who needs to fit everything in to a 4 door sedan car. Those folding tables will not fit in my car.

[@EclipseBotanica]

I never used my 4 door car lol I either had to rent a u haul (wouldn’t recommend) or borrow my mother in laws truck. It can be a pain!

[@meredithlane7050]

@@EclipseBotanica yeah I can’t afford to rent a u haul. And I don’t have anyone that could help me. I’m trying to think of the cheapest way to display butterfly shadow boxes, and canvas paintings. That will fit in my car with one trip.

[@EclipseBotanica]

Maybe you can take multiple trips? There are smaller tables too, and a lot of events have vendors at the show that will rent tables to you and you just return them before you leave

[@johannaavalos5064]

You can find 6 foot and 4 foot tables that fold in half. I just found 2 on offerup and am planning to use them for my first craft show this month :)

[@JP-js4gx]

Not many folks use cash boxes anymore, they are way too easy to pick up and walk away with, much better to get a vendor apron with pockets, even better if they have some with zippered pockets.

[@EclipseBotanica]

That’s very true. Someone told me that they handcuff it to their table so if someone tries to steal it they take the whole table with them and make a scene 😆

[@purplemoon8637]

Use a Fanny pack for your cash. It keeps it close to the body.

[@EclipseBotanica]

This is genius

[@bossvision]
