Create Eyecatching Jewelry Displays with Paper!

I volunteer some of my time at a charity re-sale boutique,

where they graciously allow me to create displays in their store -

which helps them sell more of the donated product to raise money

for the many programs and services that they offer to families in need.

 The thing about re-sale, second-hand, thrift and consignment shops is

that EVERYTHING is basically one of a kind.

You can't mass out a display with the same item, or fill shelves with it.
And when it comes to jewelry... well, for items that are already challenging to display,

the fact that it's all 'onesies' and 'orphans' means I have to get REALLY creative.

.
There are two things I've done to the jewelry display area in the store

that will work in any retail situation...

Find out what they are after the jump!

Folding Revolution!

If you are in retail, at SOME point, you've folded shirts. 

Probably a LOT of shirts.

GAP came up with 'the folding board' back in the 70's, 

to insure that their plethora of tees and sweatshirts would be uniformly folded in displays.
(yes, youngsters, GAP used to be a jeans and tee shirt store. Not a fashion boutique)
Disney uses folding boards for consistent stacks, as well.
They work - but they can be time-consuming.

And in retail, time is not on our side. Everything in a store gets messed up - constantly.

Now THIS GUY has created  
a method for folding shirts that takes less than two seconds.

Whaaaaaaaa? Keep Reading!!!
