I put key hole screws at the top and bottom ends. Ever since I have used them (they are on the ground vs a lazy susan), my sales have tripled.
I bought new ones and painted them white. I connect each section with the electrical plastic all purpose tie that feeds into the head and then you slide it up until there is a tight connection.

I am taking over a bedroom after one son moved out. It has the best light in the whole house. I am so excited and looking for ways to reuse what I have for displays. Hoping to pickup some odd screens for earring displays – perhaps staple them to large picture frames. I picked up a couple of tall pierced luminaria, removed the candle holders, and use those for earrings at shows. Also found “antique” brass toilet paper stands to hold necklaces and bracelets. The S-shape at the top is perfect for holding them.
I’d like some advice about starting a blog, if anyone is adept at it.

Thanks,
Michele

I use shutters for my earring display too. Mine are hinged in pairs, so that I can use them together or separately. Sometimes it’s nice to split them up if I want to use one fixture for earrings that are all the same price (like $15 each or 3 for $40) and don’t want any confusion. Then I can put higher priced pairs on the other fixture at the other side of my booth.

I bought the unfinished shutters at a Habitat for Humanity Restore for $1 each. I added the brass hinges and stained them myself. I think the total was less than $15. I get lots of compliments on them from other jewelry vendors at shows and I love that if someone wants some for their own displays they can’t just walk into a Home Depot and buy them off the shelf!

My hubby created my shutter display for me last year. I too used the shutters on the table and every one seemed to come up and try to turn them. Here is the link where I posted pictures of mine – using a two toned paint:

Flea markets and antique stores are great places to find shutters as well.
