I have been asked so many times, of an updated video on how I set up my Origami Owl table. And so, I did a video showing how I do it and how easy it is to do it. Without talking and commentaries, Jennylou Raya, Independent Designer #1186 shows you how can set up and break down a table in less than 10 minutes together!
This table was built over time and with being an Origami Owl Designer over a year. I do prefer the make-and-take method where people take their lockets home that same night and I replenish my table after the party.The goal of this video is to show that a Designer’s table can be done fast, fun, and easy – and beautifully too – for you and your guests!
There is no “one method” of having a table. I’ve seen over a hundred tables. The deal is… you stick to the Origami Owl branding – the colors, the owls, the fortune cookies, packaging, and things on the table clearly shows that it is an Origami Owl table. With my hundreds of charms and a hundred plates, this is what works for me. You will find the best way that works for you. Some do gem jars, some do bowls. Designers’ tables range from “Only look at everything and/or have an unspoken DO NOT TOUCH feel to it, while there are Designers’ tables do lots of stock on hand and tell people out loud PLEASE DO TOUCH EVERYTHING!!!
I have been informed that some have beef with my “baggies” for plates. The baggies are hung nicely on an owl carousel sorting the hand-stamped plates by what they say on each. One section for all the “love” plates, one section for all the “mom” plates and so on. Plates (almost 100 of them) are organized and easily viewable by party guests – easy to view, keep clean and best of all, my guests are not put off by other people’s oily fingerprints on them. This what works for me and my business. If you had/have these many things on your table, how would you display them? I would love for you to share your video =)
I did forget to put up my really nice picture frames that hold the price cards (prices of lockets, charms, plates, chains, and dangles). Don’t forget those on your table! I once had a 6ft banner but someone never returned it to me. I guess it was too pretty to give back 😉

Bags I carry everything in were bought from http://www.myinitials-inc.com/16239/. However, this print was discontinued January 2013.
Trays from nilecorp.com and fixtures that hold the plates and tags are from Home Goods. Thanks for asking!
I Love the cover for the table. Sorry if I missed where you got it from, but do you know if it’s still available? I just started and trying to build up my business but for some reason it’s proving to be harder than other DS companies I’ve worked with. Love all the tips on the blog. Continued success to you!
