Free folded jewelry display pattern from the book The Packaging and Design Templates Sourcebook

I think this folded paper card display looks like the "and" symbol- "&" (well not the one in this font but the one on my keyboard!) It makes a great little display for my recycled wool felted sweater and button ring (the one you can make at Unique LA with me!) All I did was add an extra cut in it from the original pattern from the book The Packaging and Design Templates Sourcebook .

I printed the pattern out on a nice piece of heavy paper.

Then simply cut it out along the lines.

 

I did add a sticker and the extra slice for the ring. You could add 2 holes for earrings too!

You could really use this fun shape for all sorts of things. Hey, if you do leave a comment telling us what you did! We'd like to know.

This is a great design! I design jewelry and this is a great way to make it stand out in a showcase.

I'm thinking about enlarging it a little and putting a pad of sticky notes on the display surface.

What a useful book for those involved in selling their creations.

This design is so clever that I just had to play around with it!

My most successful "ampersand stand" is made of craft foam. I had to secure the cuts with a bit of hot glue, but I think the result is worth the extra effort.

I'll post a photo on my Crafty Blogger Link Roundup tomorrow (Sunday).

Thanks, Stef!

Great idea. I have quite a few pieces of laminated paper and fabric resin jewellery to display for a final major project in Textile Design at college. This sould give me a start with formats. I'll have fun playing around with this. Thanks!
