Hey bees,
I was checking out etsy today and saw these cool luminary designs many were using for table numbers. I already had my table number design finished but I did have this whole pack of vellum paper left over from my unity candle (pic posting soon).
After fiddling with a few poems and scriptures, I came up with this design... (excuse the blurry pic.. i turned the lights down a bit)...
I don't want to clutter up my main tables by placing these over the votives but I could use them over the votives on the cake and gift tables.
Anyone else using these but not as table numbers? It was super easy to make. I formatted the graphic and placed them six per page on a landscaped page 8.5 x 11. I made sure that three fit perfect on the long end of the sheet so that when you taped the edges together, you wouldn't have any breaks...
After printing a few on the test pages, i tried the vellum and it almost looks embossed. I took them to the paper cutter and cut them long way (3 on top and 3 on the bottom). I used transparent tape to meld the seams (with no overlap) - and presto. They are 4.25 inches tall with a diameter of 3.5". They are wide enough that the votives are far away from the edges...
I may make a few more to place around the non seated tables. Thanks Etsy!
posted by askewd1 1 year agoI like this. I wonder how I can adapt this for our theme? Maybe make them look like trees with our initials on them? Oh I like that! thanks for the inspiration.
posted by smileyd 1 year agoI love, love, love this! Did you use Word? I would love a template if you don't mind posting it.
posted by FutureSteelFox 1 year agodid u used regular vellum paper? or thicker like card stock? did u used a ink jet or laser printer?
posted by FutureMrsPinnix 1 year ago@ FutureMrsPinnix - i used regular vellum paper and ran it through a laser jet printer.
@ FutureSteelFox, yes, i used word first but then i changed it to a picture file. After that, i recreated it into word and inserted it as a picture six times so i wouldn't have to worry about columns and margins. (hope that wasnt confusing). I'll send you both documents so you'll see what I mean.
@smileyd - i think your idea is nice.. you'll have to post a pic when you're done

posted by FutureMrsPinnix 1 year agoThere is a votive underneath... since it is paper, i didnt want the tea light to catch the side if it wasn't perfectly centered. im sure battery operated would work fine as well
