According to Laura Carter of JewelHut, this jewelry booth structure is easy to build, set-up, teardown, transport and store.  It can adjust from 9'4" to 10" on-site, and requires no special skills.
Laura's plans "give you the tools and knowledge to create a unique, one-of-a-kind selling space that you can be proud of."

The JewelHut booth instructions include the booth plans, a list of materials, tools, and four options you can use to enhance your booth.

The plans can be emailed to you in PDF format or shipped to you on floppy disk or CD.

My jewelry displays always start out spotlessly clean.

But during every show I've ever done, my displays accumulate lint, dust, people's food crumbs, tiny hairs, and (at outdoor shows) pollution particles.

Unfortunately, jewelry displays that have visible debris on them tend to make the jewelry look less valuable - and less desirable.

So in my box of "show survival supplies" I carry two things that save the day:

A lint roller, and a roll of scotch tape.

The lint roller makes quick work of removing junk from flat jewelry display surfaces, such as tray pads, table cloths, necklace busts, risers, etc.

And for those tricky small surfaces - such as the compartments in my tray liners - a piece of scotch tape dabbed up and down a few times quickly removes any mess.

Don't worry about customers seeing you cleaning your displays during the show. It makes a good impression if you're seen keeping things immaculate.
