I just ordered the Pampered Chef Banner from Merrill to use at upcoming fairs... (it just arrived and is beautiful, by the way) I chose that over the table cloth because at one of my fairs we'll be using round tables and I just thought that this would be more versatile. So, now my question is... How do I attach it to the tables? At one I'll have a 6 or 8 foot table and I think that they put a white plastic table cloth... I was thinking about bringing a more festive one to put on and then I want to have the banner hanging along the front of it (there won't be anywhere to hang behind me, has to be on table). At the other one, as I said, I will have a 60" round table and am using a navy round table cloth and again want to hang from table somewhere. Please help... also, of course, I want it to look neat and professional.... TIA!!!
 
Use Safety pins to pin it to the tablecloth--after you have set up all your products, though, otherwise the banner will pull the tablecloth off. There are also clips you can buy that clip to the table and then the banner attaches to the clips with velcro.

Oh, you are sooo smart! Why didn't I think of that!? Sometimes I have a brain fart and I just can't think... Where would you find the clips? Although, the safety pins will probably work just fine... I'm just a little concerned about it pulling on the table cloth and tearing it, but it would probably be okay... Thank you so much!
 
I have no idea where to find the clips. I just saw other vendors using them once and I've been thinking about them ever since.Another option--will you be against a wall? Buy some Command hooks and hang the banner on the wall behind you. The Command adhesive comes off without ruining the wall. If people are standing in front of your table, no one will see the banner.

Hmmmm, that's a good thought too.... Didn't even think about people blocking it... I'll see if there will be walls behind me... Maybe I'll just bring both options and see which works best at each show. Thank you so much! And I'll let you know if I find those clips!
 
I use both the table cloth and the banner. I just feel like sometimes people need a big hand to smack them in the face, know what I mean?
 
You can get the clips at any party store. That's what I use for the small PC logo banners I got from Nancy's. I just velcroed the back of each sign and stuck a clip on. That way they are removeable if I don't need the clips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials do I need to attach my Pampered Chef banner securely at fairs?

To attach your Pampered Chef banner securely at fairs, you will need sturdy materials such as zip ties, bungee cords, or hooks, depending on the setup of your booth. Additionally, consider using a banner stand or a weighted base if you are setting it up outdoors to prevent it from blowing away.

How can I make my Pampered Chef banner more visible at a fair?
