The name of the game around here lately has been PROCRASTINATION!! I have a ton of projects that I keep adding to my list, and with the baby coming, that list will continue to grow. I completed my kitchen table and chairs in the beginning of the summer, but have been wanting to number the backs of the chairs forever. I was afraid after all of the sanding and painting, that somehow I would screw up all of that hard work. Finally, I decided - just do it!
It literally took me all of 30 minutes, and was the easiest project I have done in a long time! I should have known. Either way - I am thrilled with the way they came out!
All I did was create a stencil by cutting out the numbers and letters with my cricut. I used quilting spray (that I had on hand) and lightly sprayed the back of the cardstock and stuck it down where I wanted it. Then I taped down the edges with painters tape to make sure it didn't slide. Then, after debating on whether or not to paint it, I decided that the easiest and cleanest way was just to fill it in with black Sharpie!
Easy peasy - and it came out exactly like I wanted it to!
All done - now I need to start tackling the rest of the to-do list!!!
Love this! Looks so great. I added numbers to my dining chairs too and couldn't have been happier!
