Default Craft fair signs???

Another question and it seems pretty dumb but for the life of me, I can't think of what to use for signs. Where do I get heavy cardboard?

Thanks
Kari

Maybe I am unprofessional, but I do not use a sign. Just my products.

I will many times make small tent signs and place in front of my various items. My card rack has a sign holder on top so I place the sign there for those. I didn't want to tag all my items so this was the best I could come up with without using large signs that wouldn't fit in. I like having the prices out. I would hate to think that if I'm helping someone else, I've missed a sale because someone didn't want to wait to ask for a price.

How about clear acrylic easel type photo frames?

Clear acrylic easel style photo frames work well. You can get them at most dollar stores. Stationary stores also carry them but they are more expensive there, but come in sizes that are not necessarily for photos.

I like the acrylic frames for signs. I'm doing my first craft fair next month. I have a lot of cards so what I'm going to do is make a french bulletin board to display card samples. I know I would not fight through people to look through a box unless I had an idea of what was inside. I'm getting the best ideas here though and really hope it goes well. I was going to use supplies I had on hand for signs as I don't want to price everything individually. I think the accrylic frames would make it look better.

I agree that it is nice to have display boards, then one sign giving details as to the price of the items. I went to a scrapping show once, and any time cards or items were in boxes and you had to flip through them, it just wasn't worth waiting to look. Quite a few people can step up to a display board to look at the samples and see the prices all at the same time. Items that you have displayed on your table can have a little tent card or acrylic holder with an insert for more permanancy (is that a word?...lol!)
