I am getting ready for the Buyers Market of American Craft this week. I always like to make my display a little different each year. This year I have made a major change going from all black to all white display pieces. Of course, I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I thought I would share with you one of my quick and easy display pieces for bracelets that I made this year.It's a small felt pillow for bracelets. I took a 6 inch square piece of felt and sewed around three of the sides. I added a little stuffing. I didn't add a lot because I wanted the weight of the bracelet to sink into the pillow so it wouldn't slide off. Next, I sewed up the last side. I can see a lot of different options for these. For instance, they could be bigger for necklaces or smaller for earrings. You could make them out of a burlap for a more earthy feel or satin for a more sophisticated look. The skies the limit. The best part is they are light weight and they aren't going to break.

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome idea! I could use this at my show next week except I can't sew. Maybe I can talk DH into making them for me...LOL!
Yes, I agree! Fantastic idea! Endless possibilities. Love it :) Just found this blog so I'm a newbie. Can't wait for more!
