DIY: Beaded Table Numbers
Posted in diy, floral & decor, kimberly by kimberly
A lucky visit to my favorite store in New York, Tinsel Trading, provided a simple solution to one of my wedding-day decor dilemmas. These adorable beaded letters are sold there for $10/each - and even if 18 tables x $10 had seemed reasonable, I still would have made my own set. Luckily for me, Tinsel Trading only offers these as letters, not numbers so I headed to my trusty local bead-emporium and got myself to work.
Supplies:
- 2 packages, size 8 Japanese seed beads*
- Chain nose pliers
- Wire cutter
- 24 gauge wire (30 yd. spool)
Directions:
- Download Beaded Number Template and print both pages
- Cut approx. 13″ of wire for each number
- String first bead. Using pliers, wrap wire around first bead to secure strand
- Continue stringing wire onto bead and begin forming numbers
- Twist end of wire around another bead, hiding seam and trim with wire cutter
- Complete entire set and enjoy your craftiness!
