My hubby and I are preparing for our first out-of-town craft show. Up until now we've done some big shows and we've muddled our way through. If we forgot something we could run out and pick it up, if we ran out, we could run home etc. This time we won't have that luxury. I need to make sure we have everything ready to go and totally organized.
My husband is planning to have about 250 pens in our inventory. So far his organizing style has been to wrap his pens in tea towels, layered and all tucked up in a box. I'd like to clean it up a bit.
My first idea was to buy the pen pouches from Penn State. They are clear plastic and 35 cents each approx. http://www.pennstateind.com/store/PKPOUCHC.html
My husband is concerned that since the pouches will hold the pen quite tight, it may damage the finish on his pens. (He only finishes his pens with wax, not laquer.) Has anyone used these? Do they affect the finish at all?
How do the rest of you organize your pens when you're going to a show? My hubby uses the same kit for all of his pens. The only difference is his wood types and whether he's used chrome/gold etc.
My thought was to label each pouch with the info and then pull out what we need as we need it.
Any advice or organizing tips would be greatly appreciated!!!
