That sounds like a great way of getting consistent results Lynne – it’s the cutting accurately that’s the tedious bit – hence I tried to make a shape that was easy to cut out initially with straight lines, then round the corners as a second step. Your cutter might allow you to use stiffer card than would be comfortable to cut by hand too.

Thanks for the jewellery display template. Its a great idea that is easy to make. I was able to use SCAL software to convert it into a SVG cutting file to cut out on my diecutting machine. I made some for my daughter and she is very pleased.

I did think about it Maisy – very briefly, as with my origami boxes too. I decided this was the easier option. people can get what they want then.

6 comments and I can’t believe no-one has taken the opportunity to say ‘Nice bust!’ 😉

Anyway, great idea, and they look so effective. If you wanted to stabilise them, you could add a second piece at the base to make a cross? I’m not explaining myself very well, I’ll have to make one and take a photo. But anyway, thanks for sharing!

‘Thrifty and creative’. Thanks Pennydog – some might say tight fisted and hard up! 😉 I never buy something I can easily improvise or make myself – leaves more spondoolies for shiny things.

I need to update my blog with my small earrings bust and some photos of my new banner in use.

Thanks for the comments. @Martha, I have added in the template notes that the graphic can be scaled larger (or stretched to different shapes) and also that I either weigh my own busts down or anchor them with blutak. Obviously made out of card they don’t have the weight of commercially made ones, but that can also be advantage when carrying your goodies from the car for setting up!
