DIY: Chalkboard Table Numbers

What you will need:

• Mini chalkboards
• Chalk or chalk pens of your color choice
• Pencils
• Spray paint of your color choice
• Hairspray or art fixative
• Tape or hot glue gun
• A designated spray painting area

What to do:

1. Take your pencils to your designated spray painting area. We recommend putting cardboard down to minimize the clean up time.
2. Lay them out in a line with about half an inch of space between them.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Shake your spray paint well and apply an even coat of spray paint to the exposed sides of the pencil
• >>Warning<< if you hold the can of spray paint too close to the pencils the force of the spray will cause the pencils to roll and bump into each other possibly causing smudges and uneven layers.
4. Once satisfied with the spray paint coverage and they no longer feel sticky, turn the pencils and spray the newly exposed sides. If your pencils rolled during the previous step then just go with the flow and spray whatever side is available. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. When you have sprayed all sides of your pencils, give them a minute to dry and head inside to work on your mini chalkboards.
6. Decide on a font that suits your wedding and is also within your skill set and proceed to number your chalkboards. Feel free to add fun details and flourishes! This is supposed to be a fun way to help showcase your personality at your wedding! We decided to use two different sizes of chalkboards to add a little visual interest.
7. When you are done with your numbering spray them with an art fixative or hairspray to help prevent smudging. This will eliminate a lot of stress when transporting them to your venue.
8. Bring all of your pencils inside and tape or hot glue your pencils to the back sides of your chalkboards. If you are feeling a little funky then change the placement of your pencils to give varied height to your chalkboards.
