Numbered Placemat Project How-To

Typography is a trend that is not going away.

Basic objects become special when a number is affixed to them.

Here is a project that is as easy as 1-2-3....

{click over to my blog to "read on" about how to make these numbered placemats}

I started with simple Dollar Tree place mats.

{I love Dollar Tree for fun projects!}

I printed out individual numbers on my printer.

{I used "Modern No.20" font and varied my sizes}

Here's where a fancy die-cut machine would come in handy...

I did my stencils the old-fashioned way...with an xacto knife.

 

 I positioned my stencils off-center.

 Using this great solvent ink product, 

I sponged ink all over my stencil.

 

 

 The finished look is a great update to a table setting.

 Simple as...

 1-2-3...!
