What are some creative and practical options for backdrops at bazaars?

[esavvymom]

So there is a bazaar that I am going to be doing next month (just found out about it), you have to provide your own table, covering, signage, backdrop and extension cord. I can get all of that (a sign from my director I hope), but what about the Backdrop??

When you provide your own backdrops, what do you typically use?
I used to do photography and I do have backdrop frames- but they are kind of big and bulky at the bottom (tri-fold legs). I could easily use those, but not sure if there is something simpler I could use. I don't know yet if this is an indoor or outdoor, and of course it always LOOKS better with a backdrop.

Suggestions? (photos would help!)

I never had to supply a "backdrop" Not even sure what they mean. I would ask more questions or see if there are pictures from a previous year.

This is the first year, but I may have to ask more what they had in mind.
I've seen a few others that mentioned providing your own backdrop, too. (not doing those this year though)

You can go to Wal-Mart or one of the Craft stores and purchase a cardboard tri-fold.
It probably costs about $8 now. The one I have is ELMER'S Display Board. The two smaller panels take an 8 1/" by 11" sheet width, and the center portion would hold two
in the landscape view. It holds three 8 1/2" x 11" pages top to bottom. When it is laying folded, it is about 24" x 34", but opened, it would be about 48" wide. They come with different color backgrounds or you can use the white and then back your pages with construction paper. Be sure to buy some two sided tape or masking tape so you can remove one months page, and put up another without destroying the surface. I will try to attach a photo.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand the need for a good backdrop at bazaars. I typically use a simple, solid-colored tablecloth as my backdrop. It's lightweight, easy to transport, and can be dressed up with some cute decorations or banners. If you're looking for something more professional, you could also try using a vinyl banner with your logo or branding on it. These can be ordered online or at a local print shop. Alternatively, if you have a large poster or foam board with your branding on it, that could also work as a backdrop. As for outdoor events, I recommend using a pop-up canopy as a backdrop, which can also provide shade for your table. I hope these suggestions help! Good luck at your bazaar!
