Thanks so much! I just did my first convention and thought I was so smart just throwing everything in a suitcase. We got rained out and I learned QUICKLY that keeping things orderly without any order is not possible. Will be implementing some this for sure!

These are amazing ideas! For me I organize my stickers in an index card holder that has built in tabs. It’s very compact and easy to grab and go when people purchase one! 💖

I use the plastic box that has more plastic boxes inside of it, like you have, right now for stickers but I recently saw an artist store stickers in one of those budgeting binders that people use for cash stuffing and I think that’s a great way to downsize for flying!

I saw someone storing and displaying stickers and stuff inside a fabric shoe holder with pockets. Easy to put up and take down and fold to store.

super helpful resource ! I've been doing alleys for about 3 years now and started researching how to set one up in 2017. I wish I had this video when I started ! It's been so interesting to see how tips and tricks videos have grown for artist alley. I remember there used to be very few Good videos on artist alley prep. So I kinda just stopped looking for youtube videos on artist alleys. Now I can find answers to any niche questions easily. I found this video while searching how to store vinyl stickers. While I wouldn't really consider that too niche, back then I know there wasn't many answers for that. Let alone the videos that even go into storage. Thank you !

@LeSpiritDesigns2 жыл бұрын
Good luck to you!! I hope it’s a really successful one~ Do you have any tips for packing inventory or display for flying?
@jennymhulla2 жыл бұрын
My top advice would be to pack as light as possible. I placed all my tiny inventory/display pieces. A great advice I was given was to cut up the fabric for your display. If you've bought 3m of fabric as a table cloth and only need 1.5 m then just cut it right off and you'll save weight/space. Also for grid walls I'd recommend only bringing the ammount you need and not any excess walls if they're not needed for your display. Try out the display beforehand to see what you need and not need. This step saved me a lot of space
