10 Table Number Ideas You Can Make

I’m quite fascinated at how almost all known wedding details are evolving! Today, let’s focus on that one important deet on your table decor — the table number. There are actually like gazillion ideas on this particular wedding detail, but for now, I’ll be leaving you with the 10 of the most unique, eye-catchingly pretty table number ideas you can actually make. But first, let me manage your expectations before we proceed — some of these DIY projects will be as easy as a pea, but some, I must say, are quite advanced even for an average crafter. While these DIY table numbers are a pretty-lot, these projects will take time to do (and effort, too!) so be prepared to get help from other crafty hands. 🙂

I promise that this will be sooo worth your time and effort if you choose to do any of these. Send over the photos of your finished products so I could see them, okay? Ready now? Here are my top 10 absolutely-worth-it-DIY Table Number projects. Enjoy! 🙂

1. DIY Bud Vase Table Number – Cute and innovative, I love the idea of using test tubes as vases. This table number project is pretty enough to be given out as wedding favor afterwards! DIY link here.
