I am a DYI, if it were me, I like your setup, but it is empty, despite having products laid out. But I agree with the others, you do need a banner. If you need to do it on the less expensive side, then you could go to fabric store, and get the length of your table plus enough to give at least a 1/2 inch hem on all the edges. Wash in washer in hot water first to get it ready to paint, dry on hot in dryer. Then iron it nicely. Measure the Hems or have someone else who sews do the hemminn on ALL 4 edges for a finished look. Iron your measured hems first, then hem.
The drape should also be wide enough to lay on your table about 10-12 inches and hang over. Most fabrics these days are 45" wide. Make that part of your table product design. Maybe consider making a round piece out of same fabric leftovers, you can even piece it together from the long scrap you'll have left over, no one would be the wiser, to help pull it all together. You should have about 18" wide length left over to do this. Your banner should drape over the front at least 2-3 inches above and below your letters.
Then, plan out your shop name's letters, spaced out nicely, and lightly draw the letters on paper first, tape enough sheets of printer paper together, side to side, hard to say, TALL or portrait view, tape the sides together. Use this to practice your letters. Printer paper is cheap. Do it as many times as necessary til you see what you want. Unless you decide to do what I will mention later.
You're creative :arrow: I know you can do this. :razz:
Don't get overly fancy, just easy to read and neat looking letters. Look at Fonts on MS Word program, or other program that has different fonts. If you don't have Word, then you could also do a search online, font designers usually show you the whole alphabet. If you have a printer, and MS Word, you could also do one letter to a page, yes it will use a lot of black ink, but then you could cut them out, and use them as a pattern for your cloth drape. (If you have a printer that will print cardstock, that is what I would use, it's stiffer and easy to draw around with a "Fabric Pencil")
Your letters should be about 9-10 inches tall for a table that size. They should not be crowded. Nicely drawn lightly with pencil and using a blue paint a bit darker than the blue on your table drape, paint the letters in just like a sign painter. Dharma Trading Company somewhere in California, sells quantity fabric paints (I've spent thousands there) and is better than what you can find in craft stores. DTC knows their stuff when it comes to fabric and paints. (I'm a silk painter) Also buy a small size of white paint, same brand, in case the blue you get is too dark. You don't want a navy blue! Call them up and tell them you need a thick enough (and able to be gentle handwashable) fabric PAINT to do lettering on a medium weight fabric. Also tell them how big your letters are and also how fancy, you might need 3 diff sized brushes, depending on letters you choose. It must be thicker than the typical good quality quilting fabric, but not so thick as cotton duck cloth. Maybe you could highlight the blue letters with an off white paint, not a lot, just a few light lines at tops and bottoms of letters. Less is more and will help pull the letters nicely onto that busy background table cloth.
LASTLY, I feel you need your shop name in at least 2-3 places, on your signs in front of your products. Maybe one 10" wide sign on a wood dowel stuck into a round or even square base heavy enough to hold it down without tipping easy, closest to Eye level is always best! Do it in complementary colors against your banner lettering colors. I'm thinking kind of a giant copy of your business card including logo, but with less information on it, and I already know you are wearing a nice name badge ;o)
Lastly, I think you should be able to do this for just about $50, what would cost you 200-300 for one as nice as what I know you can make
:-o
I forgot to say, each of your trays, like in a candy or confectionary shop, Starbuck's, has a card in front of each tray with their shop name on it, and the name of the product.
Also, the table cloths won't look as busy once your get the banner made. I think it will look very nice, as I can envision the whole thing in my head already. I hope you can too. Once you see it in your head, you will be able to make it.
