Doing my first fair today and I’ve been low key bingeing your videos for the last couple of days. I honestly have most of what I need but since it’s my first I’m still a newbie and need to find my rhythm.

I’m nervous since I know my displays are still in their early stages but you’ve been helping me a lot. thank you!

I'd like to add, if your set up allows (for instance, a U shape set up where either the opening faces the front of the booth & you stand behind it, or where it faces the back & you stand inside it)... Either the kid's foam mat puzzle pieces or a few memory foam kitchen mats. These are life savers at my shows. I tend to stand for 90% of the shows.

Also, baby wipes. Those suckers come in handy when you need to clean a mess, but may not want the chemicals from cleaning wipes. I set them out for people to use, along with the hand sanitizer on a tray table. People also can use the tray table to set things down when paying.

I'm doing my very first art fair on saturday and finding your channel was an absolute lifesaver!! Craft fair dad advice 11/10 😂 Fingers crossed my tent doesn't like spontaneously combust and/or all my art gets eaten by bears

Here’s a tip for the table runners: I roll mine up and put them in a wide poster tube for transport.
Part of my checklist is ironing my banners and smoothly re-rolling them and placing them back in the tube before packing.
I put a decal on the tube with my business’s name.

I would add mallet and weights. Not just tent weight but a way to anchor your displays is necessary

Hi there, love your vids. I have been bing watching your videos, I am doing my first fair in August, I am in the middle of making all my stock. My question is this, I am going to be making very chunky knitted blankets which are quite large, I have searched and searched for bags that are big enough and cannot find any, I am not starting to panic as the blankets are pricey and DO NOT want to succumb to trash bags. Please, please help. Thank you so, so much for your time.
