Step 1 Print out numbers from your computer onto card stock (or hand letter if you feel confident!) along with some kind of border which you will use to cut them out. We could fit 2-up on letter size paper and thought this was a good size. Remember you will need a front and back so print out two of each number.
When you are done printing, cut the numbers out with an x-acto knife (recommended) or paper scissors.
Step 2 Buy a pack of wooden skewers (the dollar store kind will do) and trim them down to about 6" in length. We painted them green but you can leave them raw if you prefer.
Step 3 Now place the skewer in the middle of two same-number panels so it comes up about an inch from the bottom with the number sides facing out and glue them all together. Use a hot glue gun (recommended) or Elmer's etc.
Step 4 Cut a cylinder shape from a brick of craft foam big enough to fit snugly inside your mini flower pot.
Step 5 Place the foam cylinder in the flower pot and stick the skewer with the table numbers attached in the center.
Repeat for all your tables and viola, you are done!

Very cute! And very easy. I bet you could even sub in colored straws for the crafts sticks for more color or to make it even cheaper!
