how should I display this?

Large Bamboo Tray
Free show Certificate
$10.00 Gift Certificate

I was thinking about putting it in the PC reusable bag, but then they won't be able to actually see it, so not sure exactly what I should do. This is for a donated door prize for the fundraiser craft show I'm having a booth at tomorrow.
 
You could always buy the shrink wrap stuff for basket's and shrink it in that. They have different colors or clear.

where do you get that at? I've never bought any.... I hope I don't have to buy a big roll of it just to do this.
 
You could purchase a picture frame stand or plate stand at craft and home store pretty cheap. I use several acrylic stands when I set up tables. The acrylic doesn't scratch like metal and you can use them for everything from sa, cookware, and cookbooks as well as bamboo platters. For your dsiplay just set your bamboo platter in the stand and in the foot holds on the stand slide in your gift certificates. I purchased my stands at Old Time Pottery for $1 each for large and 2 for $1 for small ones, maybe you have a store like that by you. Then when it's time to give out the prize you can slip it into a PC bag.
 
Nice idea Beth.
I like the idea of filling the new reusable shopping bags, but they do make it difficult to see the items.
 
What I did was place the opened Reusable PC Tote bag behind the Small Batter Bowl with the cookie dough recipe in it Then I tied a Small Bamboo spoon with ribbon to the handle along with the instructions on how to bake the cookies. I Set the bowl on a current catalog. Inside the catalog I had a flier for a free cooking demo. I thought it looked very nice and even took a picture of it if you want to see it!
 
Darcie,

I would like to see a picture of it. That sounds very nice!
 
Sorry it took so long for me to post. I wasn't sure how to insert a picture, but I think it worked!
