How to Make a Table Top Display Board

A very durable tabletop display board can be made with just a few items. Cover the display boards in any suitable fabric. They can be used for jewelry and other small items for sale or for information. They are very popular for use at expos, fairs and festivals. Home improvement show vendors use them to display brochures and sales materials. They can be folded and put away for the next event.

Instructions

1

Apply wide strips of glue on the front face of the foam core board about 2 inches apart. Spread it evenly, making sure the glue goes all the way to the edges of the board.

2

Lay the 12 inch by 18 inch piece of fabric on the board. Smooth it down so it is even and matches perfectly along all the edges. For more durability, use lightweight indoor/outdoor carpet instead of fabric. If the display is being made for jewelry, you may want to use a velvet-type fabric. Add more glue if there are any spots on the edges that don't adhere.

3

Glue the fabric for the second board following the same procedure. Let both boards dry overnight.

4

Attach one half of a Velcro set to the outer edge of one board on the right-hand side. It should be at least 2 inches from the top. Apply the other side of the Velcro set to the left outer edge side of the other board.

5

Attach the second set of Velcro squares in the same manner. These pieces should be 2 or 3 inches from the bottom.

6

Stand the boards up in a side-by-side V formation on the table. Match the Velcro squares on the outer edges and press them together. The boards will stand alone on the table.
