It doesn\u2019t have to be something elaborate; think small, simple yet significant. It could be a personalised Save-The-Date card, or a memorable wedding favour. You don\u2019t even have to be very good at arts and crafts to make these wonderful mementos. SingaporeBrides shows you how to Do-It-Yourself.<\/i><\/p><p><b class=\"special\">H<\/b>ere at SingaporeBrides, we&#8217;re big on wedding DIYs for that special touch to a celebration as personal as a wedding, especially DIYs that can be whipped up in a jiffy. If customising wedding favours is too tall an order and far too time-consuming for you, we suggest starting from something smaller in scale, like table number cards. Not only are these very easy and quick to create, you only have to make enough for the number of tables you have at your wedding &#8211; far easier than DIY-ing favours for your eighty-odd (or more) guests. With craft paper, some basic stationery and a little guidance from us, we show you how to make a table number card that your guests will remember.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><p><b><b>Here\u2019s what you need:<\/b><\/b><\/p><ul><li>5 pieces of Craft paper (in shades of cream, butter yellow, rose, glitter and patterned paper)<\/li><li>1 piece of foam craft paper (in any colour)<\/li><li>Ruler<\/li><li>Pencil<\/li><li>Craft knife<\/li><li>Eraser<\/li><li>Scissors<\/li><li>Small scalloped edged craft scissors<\/li><li>Double-sided tape<\/li><li>Heart-shaped roll in ivory<\/li><li>Block alphabets<\/li><li>Small rosette-ribbon in Tiffany green<\/li><li>Small wooden peg<\/li><li>Thin wooden stick<\/li><li>Superglue<\/li><\/ul><p>Time taken for each: 20 minutes<br>Average cost for each: $7<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/WeddingNumbers2-e1342579839357.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><p>Cut out a piece of rectangular craft paper in butter yellow measuring 9 cm by 15 cm.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/WeddingNumbers3-e1342579865531.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p><p>Proceed to cut out a smaller piece of rectangular craft paper with pink stripes measuring 7 cm by 13 cm.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/WeddingNumbers4-e1342579958641.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p><p>Using double-sided tape, attach the piece of striped craft paper onto the piece of butter yellow craft paper.

Repeat Step 7 for the foam paper. As for the rose-pink craft paper, cut the outline of the bars out as well. When done, you should have three cut-outs like this.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/WeddingNumbers9-e1342580175709.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p><p>Attach the three cut-outs together by using double-sided tape.

Use a craft knife to cut the shape of the letters out on the paper. Here&#8217;s a tip: to prevent the glitter from getting all over, flip the paper over before you begin cutting.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/WeddingNumbers12-e1342580260112.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p><p>Then, using double-sided tape, attach the glitter craft paper onto the block letters.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/WeddingNumbers13-e1342580282434.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p><p>Attach both the decorated block letters and birdcage charm onto the right and left side of the card respectively using doubled-sided tape.

Now, wasn&#8217;t that easier than 1-2-3? The best thing about customising your own table number card lies in the freedom to make the card any size, shape, colour and theme you want it to be in. You can even give your tables names instead of numbers, according to your wedding theme.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/WeddingNumbers15-e1342580417312.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><p><i>Perfect for Table Number Card, Rustic-themed weddings, Garden-themed weddings<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think you\u2019re a hands-on kind of bride and want to make something really special for your wedding?
