This is, according to the folks selling it, a tulle stand. Not that I knew tulle needed a stand, but whatShabby chic, and cheap as well! do I know?

All I know is that this would make a great display piece for a garment on a hanger, in a shop that’s shabby-chic-ish. And at less than $40 for half a dozen, sounds like a not-so-shabby price. And a LOT more interesting than a standard old boring hook stand.

The party/craft supply website, Save-on-Crafts, selling this has lots of exciting things to use in your shop. Monstera leaves anyone?

    Thanks, Dana, I think you answered the question in the back of my mind…are these sturdy enough to hang a top, or a child’s out on? Sounds like the answer’s no?

    But even if the weight-load is limited these would still be useful, especially to fill in that all-important triangle in display design!

    I purchased several of these last summer. They’ve been great for scarves, hats, small handbags and necklaces. The possibilities are endless and the price is right!

    Never heard of these as Tulle stands but used these as table top wreath stands when I had my wreath design biz.
    We had these in the shop as well but they all sold early on.

    Thanks for the link
