One thing I was surprised to see had such a high price tag were table numbers. These are such simple things, but even ones that were just a number printed on paper were outrageously priced (plus boring). I knew this was a project that could easily be tackled because it doesn't involve much, and you don't have to make hundreds of them.
For my centerpieces, I knew I wanted a small vase with some flowers in them. In order to keep things even and centered (I'm OCD like that), I didn't want the vase and table number competing for the centrally located spot, so I decided to combine the two. I thought, "Wouldn't it be cute if the table number was sticking up in the vase on top of the flowers?!" So I went to work.
All you need for this project is:
- wooden dowels
- wooden numbers
- hot glue
- paint
- you can add decorative stuff like glitter, ribbon, lace, etc if you want but I chose not to so as not to distract from my flowers
Step 1
Glue the numbers on top of the dowels
Step 2
Determine the height needed for your vase, and cut the dowel appropriately
Step 3
Paint the table number
Step 4
Add any decoration
That's it! Easy right?! And it only costs a couple dollars total to make all of them!
And get your aunt to assemble them all on the wedding day.
