DIY :: Chalkboard Table Numbers

Chalkboard table numbers are such a fun way to add a personal touch to your tables...and why stop at numbers? You could use these for table names, quotes, or other signage for any wedding or event. You can change up the shapes too....hearts, squares, circles, ovals, etc... I love that these are so easy to create and look so cute when they're done!

What You’ll Need:

– Chalkboard Paint
– Chalkboard Marker or chalk
– Paintbrush
– Wooden Shapes
– Dowels
– Glue

Instructions:

1. The first thing you need to do is determine the shape of your “number” and the length of your dowel. Spotlight sells “Heart wands” with the dowel and heart shape already attached, but if you need to do these yourself, or want to try a different shape you’ll need to purchase your own shapes and glue them onto the dowel.

2. Ensuring your shape is smooth, paint on the chalkboard paint as instructed. The makers recommend two thin coats.

3. Leave to dry and cure for six hours.

4. You can use chalk or chalkboard marker for this project. Picked up a chalkboard marker and I have to say, if you are transporting your numbers, then the marker and it’s sticking power is definitely the better option!

5. Write your number, name or quote onto your “chalk board”.

6. To help your table numbers stand up in your vases or vessels, stick them into a stack of florist’s foam.
