This is a super easy craft even for people like me whose desire to be crafty outweighs my ability. I can’t sew although I try. I’ve watched a bunch of Christmas bow videos but just can’t get them perfect. So this is easy!
I bought the unfinished numbers at Michael’s. Used acrylic paint (the 5 got a glitter pen as a top coat).
For the cake topper I used good old Elmers glue to attach a kitchen wooden skewer, I wanted it to be removed easily for phase 2, the ornament.
Use something (I used garlic!) to support the skewer so it dries flat. After this dried I added more glue on top of so the glue encased the skewer.
After the parties I popped off the skewer. It took off the paint a little bit it’s on the back so that was OK.
For the ornament I used a hot glue gun to attach the twine, I want this to last. Wood glue would work too.
And that’s it! A memory on our tree from the years birthdays and in a few years we’ll have a number tree!
