I’d been trying to come up with a way to display my goods at an upcoming local Night Market. I use pegboard at home to keep things organized so I have tags already made for that purpose. So I went to Ikea (LOVE me some Ikea) and bought a couple cheap pegboards, spray painted them black, and made some ‘feet’ for them.
So now it’s a decent looking display that’ll work on a table top. It’s got a 15 degree tilt to make things easier to see on the bottom rows. I’ll try and figure something prettier out when I have more time but this was super quick and easy.
Not too shabby when it’s all put together! You can buy the pegs from Ikea as well, I forgot to mention that above. I can post the SVG for the peg tag if there’s interest.
@gerlindeowl & @Janerlea: The .06" (or 1/16") is thick enough to hold up pegs, though, at that size. (I use it often for name badges.) However, I will note that it scratches pretty easy, so have polish on hand. Or just use a solid black and fill the engrave with paint. I achieve this look on my coasters by leaving the paper mask on and hitting it with the plastic paints by Krylon.
Normally it’s against the rules to ask people for their files, but since this is a “Free Files” post, the file is actually right there in the first post for you to download. Just right-click on it and choose “save as” from the pop-up window.
Hiya! I see Geek2nurse got here first but I was just going to say you may consider changing the file a bit once you have it. One of the stands I had snapped in transit because that front top part is too thin. Live and learn. I haven’t edited the file myself yet. You might be able to get around the issue by using a super thick acrylic. Just a heads up!
