Recently we showed you the Wicklow wedding of Breffní and Conor in beautiful Ballybeg House. Their wedding was a real showcase of DIY details, all handmade by friends and family for their big day. Today they've shared with us how Conor made their cute DIY table numbers. These tin can numbers are a great way to get the groom involved in the wedding preparations!

This eco-chic wedding project has 5 simple steps.

Step 1 - Eat lots of baked beans, sweetcorn, kidney beans, tomatoes... you get the idea!

Step 2 - Print out your table numbers in a font you like. We chose a nice strong bold font, like League Gothic, to make the next step easier.  Any font with a clear shape will work well. Print out all the numbers you'll need. Measure your tin can, and use a font size that will nicely fit. Too small, and you won't get the effect.

Step 3 - Tape your numbers onto the tins.  Use a drill with a small drill bit to drill holes through the paper and can.  Do as many as you can for maximum effect. Its important the outline of the number looks good.

Step 4 - Spray paint the outside of the cans in your choice of colour.

Step 5 - Cut some coloured paper to size. This should fit half the inside of the can. Place it along the side opposite where you drilled the number. Use a bit of spray mount, or some dots of glue to hold it in place.

Voilá! Your tin can table numbers are done! Simply pop  in a tealight and the light shines through for a pretty sparkly table number. So are you going to have a go?! Or have you other plans to get the groom involved? Check out the rest of our DIY projects for some inspiration.
