Plate Flower Display

14 years ago

I've been making garden plate flowers for a few months and am finally going to attempt to sell some at our local farmers market. The market is held in a large parking lot and I'm looking for ideas on how to display my flowers?

This might seem like unnecessary work, but it helped me when hanging my plates. Trace the plates onto some brown craft paper,( I used brown packaging paper)and use that as a template. I placed a small piece of scotchtape to the back and played around with the arrangement on the wall until I was satisfied. Hang the nail right through the paper. Once all the nails are in place, rip the paper away one by one as you hang them!

I really like the plate in the picture you posted. What is the plate's diameter? If you could take a picture of a mock up (on the floor or on a table) of your mirror with the plates around it, that would help us visualize how they look together. To me, it would depend on the size of the mirror and the size of the plates and how they relate together. Also, take a picture of the wall space where you are thinking of displaying them. A photo of paper mock ups taped onto the wall space would help in visualizing this, too.

Sometimes you can have ridges added to the shelf that will support the plates. Our china cabinet (circa 1958) has ridges to support the plates and platters.

Right now I'm using an umbrella stand that I purchased at GW. I have a plan for some wooden stands but haven't found the time to acutally build them yet. If and when I do, I will post a picture.

and sand shifts- too many crashes. Kitty litter is the best- and use an old pot, if you can find one.

I use a really large plastic vase that I found and put river rock around pvc pipe. holds well and doesn't tip over.

A gal over on garden junk who is selling them in an icecream shop uses an milk crate over a piece of wood that she has drilled holes into.
