Last night I decided I would try out making table numbers. I had purchased 10 white frames from the dollar store to use. While at Michaels craft store the other day, I found a 10 pack of white metallic card stock. I only bought one to see if it would work with my printer because a lot of home printers have issues with metallic card stock for some reason.
Luckily, I didn't have that issue. I thought black and white would be too boring, so I decided on purple and green. The font for the words is Lauren Script which I downloaded from dafont.com. The font for the numbers is Lucida Handwriting.
The only problem I had with this project is that even though the dollar store frames are 4x6 and so is the cardstock, it was still too big. It seemed a waste of money to have the cardstock professionally cut to fit, so I did it on my own. Its not a perfect cut, but you can't tell.
I also like the idea of using words for table numbers too. But, I can't decide on whether to use types of wine (because we're getting married at a winery) or just names of alcoholic drinks. What do you think?
Once I decide on wine names vs. alcoholic drink names I can print out the rest. DIY Project #1: PARTIALLY COMPLETE!
Oh, and of course since this is a budget blog, I'll show you the costs, including MD sales tax.
10 White 4x6 picture frames from Dollar Tree: $10.60
10 pack 4.5x6.25 Metallic cardstock from Michaels: $4.76
Colored Printer Ink: $0 (free with purchase of printer!)
Total Cost: $15.36
Not too bad!
