the lattice could be a great way to showcase your crafts. Contact a local senior center to see if anyone there could build your displays for you. Also most hardware store, wood working clubs, etc., might be the answer for you. Your library may have names available for you.

My DH built a lattice wall for me but it was very heavy and required two people to set up. I would think plastic would make it much lighter (mine was wood) He used 2 x 4 and hinges and then made removable stands for it to sit in. It was very cumbersome but did an excellent job. I used S hooks to hang from the lattice and that little drying rack thingy, not sure where I picked it up, but I pounded nails in it to hang the art work from.

I've seen that used at craft shows and also coat racks were used.

more than one way to display, add a coat rack, or mug tree extending the length by raising on a box. I am using a collapsible bookcase type item, it gives me shelves and sides to hang from.
I bought a folding screen (lattace) years ago, cover one side with fabric.
good luck

Why not use the framework of your canopy? You could hang them the same as always.

The plastic lattice does not stand up well. It has a tendancy to bow. I tried it and not happy with it. Also to keep your purses standing up, put a small can ( mushroom can is good or a can of soup) goods in the bottom. Take out when you sell. They stand up just beautiful. You could put steps on your table , covered with a cloth. You can get a lot of purses on a 6 or 8 ft. table if you have them staggered at different heigths. Hope this helps. I also do craft shows.

When I did craft shows, I started out with some very homemade looking display racks. After a few years, I invested in wood racks just like these, and you know what? Since I had a professional looking display, I found that sales went up and fewer shoppers complained about prices.

So if you do a lot of shows... invest in a nice setup. It will pay for itself, plus you get the pleasure of having a good-looking booth. :thumbup:

Be sure to look at the rotating display. It makes excellent use of a small amount of floor space! It also attracts shoppers. They are curious to know what just disappeared around back, when somebody else turned the shelf.

Thanks for the heads up on the plastic lattice.
I've been using 1# bags of dried beans for weights. I put them in a zip bag to be sure of no broken bags. After shows are over I can cook them.

This is what we did also. It worked great

I usse a coat rack, the kind that has hooks at the top . Found a wooden one at a yard sale for $2. You can hang several, it is tall so people can see them & takes little room.
