Give this video a thumbs up and comment below if I should make a Part 2 👀 If this video gets 500 likes I'll make another one! 💖 You can find me on these other platforms for more Artist Alley tips: instagram.com/mualcaina/ www.tiktok.com/@mualcaina

You’re tips and advice is always so helpful to a newbie seller like myself! I hope you can do more of these, there’s so many types of set ups it helps me both appreciate the varieties and want to experiment with my own. Maybe a video on different ways an artist can show branding (ie banners, stickers, QR codes, creating avatars or mascot).

[@Mualcaina]

Thank you for watching! Making a note of that idea for future videos :)

[@Toribell1928]

It’s really nice seeing a first time display as someone who plans to do my own for the first time. Shows how you can still make a nice display without a ton of product

[@Mualcaina]

Definitely!

[@daniellef1290]

I love this type of video! Having a visual example of so many other tables with small helpful critiques is so helpful. Thank you so much!

[@Mualcaina]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@MikiKuu]

Absolutely more like this!! This was great, very enjoyable but also helps to look at your own display a bit differently.

[@71Jalex6]

Thank you for making these 😭❤️you’re saving my life and pockets

[@OddlyAwkward]

Thank you for considering me for this video!! A lot of great advice I will take to heart and to my display

[@OddlyAwkward]

OH! I also noted that I didn't have enough grid panels (but now I do!) at the time to have another level up top, but for future events I want to! :D

[@Mualcaina]

@@OddlyAwkwardah thank you for clearing it up! Love the idea of making a baby jail LOL

[@OddlyAwkward]

@@Mualcaina i hope you make a baby jail for your plushies tho ;3c

[@TheBestPikagirl]

Amazing idea, it is super helpful! Thank you so much !

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much for the tips and for reviewing my set up 🥺🩷 (I was the crochet flower booth! 💐) I will definitely have to try out the pegboard idea to add some more height to my booth, and make the ultimate condensed flower shop 👌🏻✨️

[@Mualcaina]

Thank you for participating! 💖

[@mrs.quills7061]

You have such a unique product!! Keep at it, maybe you could add a rustic gardening can too from a thrift shop to display products or even a sign!

[@mylkboxdesigns]

Great Videos, a lot of info.

[@nonzev1377]

This is super helpful for tabling ideas in general, I really loved all the tips and everyone's tables are all so cute!

[@mrs.quills7061]

I loved it too! So many wonderful products and artists. I loved the Pokémon stickers from the shared booth the most cuz I love Pokémon fan art.

[@christineseguin2935]

I have been doing local art events but just did my first artist alley last weekend and would love to submit if you do another one of these videos.

[@Mualcaina]

I'll let everyone know if I'm accepting submissions for a part 2 👀

[@TheEmpan85]

Hello! I absolutely looove your videos! Great job on em! I've done Artist Alley for 2 years and i'm absolutly loving it! really burning determination for sitting in an Artist Alley :P how does one send in their pics if one wanna be part of a 2nd part video of these? :o Anyway Looove from Sweden from Lussebullen! ♥

Thanks for watching! I usually post a link to a form in my Instagram stories (@mualcaina) and in my KZbin community tab

When it comes to displaying pins, I want to do pin boards on my grids, but my pin sizes are inconsistent and I worry it won't look as neat. Do you have any recommendations on displaying pins and keychains that are all different sizes? I currently have grid cubes with the plastic and not the wires. I've been using double-sided adhesive and spacing them out on the plastic itself but I feel like it doesn't look as professional as a pin board

[@Mualcaina]

What I do with my keychains and pins are display them on separate grids, since my keychains (4 in) are much larger than my pins (about 1.5 in). Double sided adhesive on the plastic is honestly fine, I've seen many artists use that method. If you'd like to brand your display further, you can print on 12x12 paper (or whatever dimensions your grids are) and stick it on to your plastic grids to add branding and then arrange your pins and keychains in that way

[@pattomwau]

I see some people use the grids that have a solid board. Looks like plastic or fabric stretched across it. What are they called and where can you get them? Thanks!

[@fruityfrogcreations]

It took me so long to figure out what they were, it’s called plastic cube organizer/storage and I think most ppl find them on Amazon 😅

[@Mualcaina]

I have the pink ones I use linked in my description box :)

[@pattomwau]

Thank you very much!@@fruityfrogcreations

[@amayaleashea265]

What would you recommend someone use instead of grid wall if someone didn't like them?

[@Mualcaina]

I mention some good alternatives in my "Successful Artist Alley Table Display Tips" video (link kzbin.info/www/bejne/npnHpGN8rthgprcsi=OAPBj5n4gpYy2PR3)

[@KaiyaAquamarine]

Though I am curious. Where does everyone get those boards printed (the ones that hold stickers, pins, prices, ect). Is it just paper? Or is it cardboard? I see them all the time and not sure what to call them or print them on

[@Mualcaina]

They're rigid boards and I had mine done through rewyndstudio.com/ however she doesn't do them anymore. You can also print on 12x12 paper (or whatever dimensions your grids are) and stick it on to your plastic grids to add branding

[@KaiyaAquamarine]

@@Mualcaina that's so helpful! Thank you so much ❤

[@kupotenshi]

This was super helpful! Do you still think it's worth it to print business cards, or is a QR code display all you need?

[@Mualcaina]

I have both available, but I've noticed a lot of people like to ask for business cards vs using my QR code

[@captainnsamixx8155]

Do you think if I blurred out the small section of my adult designs you could still critique the rest? Id would love to submit if you ever do a round 2! 🥰

[@Mualcaina]

Yes! As long as the NSFW work is blurred out it should be fine

[@captainnsamixx8155]

@@Mualcaina ah thank you so much!🥺❤️

[@cutespheal3442]

i need some advice on displaying my stuff 😢😅 i mostly have stickers, a few art prints, and a few acrylic charms! help!!!

[@Mualcaina]

I have a video in my Artist Alley 101 playlist with some more examples of table displays you might find helpful!

[@suchaaverygoodartist]

Would you review a print artist setup as well? I know it's not your thing so I won't feel bad if you say no 😔

[@Mualcaina]

Yes of course! You can definitely submit your display for a chance to review if I post a google form for P2

[@tsukki_moon]

Hi maycee (I hope I got it right) I wonder how old do you recommend to start a small business as a side hustle or to get experience?? What do you think about people who are 12?13?14? Who actually wanted to start a small business?? 😅😊❤ TQ sending regards to you

[@Mualcaina]

I don't think age really matters as long as you have a business idea. I've had businesses since I was 8 and didn't start to take it seriously until my business at 14 where I sold my art on redbubble. If anything, starting at a young age helps you understand running a business and see what works best for you

[@tsukki_moon]

@@Mualcaina TQ for your opinion I really appreciate it!😄 Since rn I want to start one but don't know where to start managing my money or what to invest on. However I think I got an idea of what I want to do 😉 so if you have any tips for young business owners care to share some tips pls? TQ again
