The best part? Glass vases are affordable and accessible. You can find sets of vases at IKEA, thrift stores, and online. And anything that you can find dozens of at a great price is always good for a large celebration! Once the celebration is over, repurpose these table numbers by removing the vinyl and using them around your home or donating to your favorite thrift store.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before you get started, source your vases that are various heights and widths for a gorgeous design-focused aesthetic amongst your reception tables. You can find glass vases at IKEA, thrift stores, and online. Possibilities are very affordable and endless! Once you found your vases, be sure to give them a good clean using dish soap and then window or glass spray cleaner. You will need a clean, dry surface for the vinyl to apply perfectly.
2. Measure how tall each of your glass vases is so you know the proportionate size of your table number. Determine how wide you want your boho shape to be and how big you want your table number words to be. (Our main stocky vase in this project is around 7" tall, so our beige shape for this vase is 3" wide and 5.5" tall. The one we used to display the vase as a candle holder is 9" tall, so our beige shape is 2.25" wide and 8" tall.)
3. Go to your cutting machine’s Design Space software and open a New Project. To create our boho shape, we welded a circle and a long rectangle together. For the font of your table number, we recommend choosing two different complementary fonts like a cursive/script font and a print/sans serif font. You can also use our Design Space project to make this with the fonts we have shared!
4. First cut your boho shape with the vinyl of your choice and then cut your table numbers for your boho shape. Weed out the bits you don’t want on your table number and then place transfer tape on top to allow for easy application on your vase.
5. Peel your vinyl boho arch sticker off of its carrier sheet and then carefully place it on your glass vase. We recommend aligning it to the top of the vase and then smoothing downwards. This vinyl has a strong adhesive, so place slowly on the vase! Smooth out any bubbles that may form underneath before placing your table number sticker on top. For however many tables you have, make that many table numbers and then pack away safely until the wedding day!
