I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say that your display board is pretty crucial for your face painting business at bringing in new customers when you’re out face painting right?
I thought I’d give you a simple way to make your own display board for face painting designs from home, that won’t cost you an arm and a leg!
* First of all, take photos of your face painting designs. Make sure you’ve got good lighting and the photos are nice and close up. Also makesure that your models are smiling in the photos, you won’t impress people with sad or cranky looking models now, will you?
* Then print them out and glue them to a piece of cardboard carefully and neatly. Think about where you’re going to place each photo before you glue them down.
* Makesure to put a title at the top with your Company Name/Stage Name.
* Laminate the cardboard, then stick that to a thicker piece of board (the kind of one that has foam inbetween maybe) And find a way to prop it up like maybe put it on your table between two books.
For all the face painters out there, who already have display boards for their face painting designs …
…How did you make your display board?
Or if you bought yours, where from?

You can even send in photos of your display board to

Hi, What I did for a display board was, I drew my designs and colored them in and then I cut them out and taped them onto a poster board and then laminated it. I bought a artist easel to set the board on. I also made a smaller version and laminated it also so I can have it by me. Also, each design is number and that way the kids can tell me what number and then I look it up on the small one and paint away. I am also planning to have a board with photos also.
Have a great day

I bought an acrylic, 8 x 11 picture stand from Office Depot for about $5. I inserted a copy of my designs (very few; remember I’m still learning!) and I keep it on the table where I’m working. It’s pretty durable, which is good because the kids love to pick it up and pass it around. I think one toddler even licked it! How he ended up with it, I don’t know. It’s a good thing I had some sani-wipes!
I have a lovely white twirly wrought iron stand from a shabby chic shop and use for my display board. I like pop up a sign with a just a couple of gorgeous photos and and lots of written ideas. I don’t like working from photos alone as I find that it can be a little limiting. I find if I leave it open I get all kinds of weird and wonderful request!
Best Wishes,

When making my display boards, I found that printing my pictures on my personal printer wasn’t working very well…. took lots of ink, etc… so, now I simply upload my digital prints to my local Rite Aid or Walmart and get “real” 4×6 photo prints, and use these on my boards now! I change my pictures often, depending on what I am doing, so I only put a sticky on the back of each picture so I can remove them easily, later!
Today, I just bought some very colorful 4×6 size albums from the dollar store and I plan on putting my pictures in these and have them out along with my MAIN board for those in line to look through!
