Want a quick and easy way to display a favorite number? Create a metal number art signfor your wall; for wedding tables; to commemorate your favorite athlete, etc.
Materials:
- Metal sign (found at Michael’s)
- Spray Paint
- Numbers
- Antiquing Wax
- Wax brush
- E-6000 glue
- Ruler
(Note: You can make your own metal sign by cutting sheet metal and drilling holes into the top. Add some rope to hang it from. I just took the quick route and bought mine.)
Instructions:
Spray paint your numbers any color you like. While the numbers are drying, add some age to the metal sign by pouncing some antiquing wax to the edges.
Add glue to the back of the numbers.
Center them and line them up using a ruler to help keep them even.
Allow the glue to harden and hang your metal number sign anywhere you please.
Can anyone guess the significance of #41 on our wall? I’ll save you some time, it’s not my age.
Pin for later!
This decoration is absolutely darling! I never would have thought to use sheet metal as a sign. Where were you able to find metal like this? Also, it is a really clever idea to put a significant number in your home.

LOL, I have no idea how many tutorials I’ve written but I’m sure it’s more than 41.

It can’t be the total number of your tutorials because I think you’re way over that #. Looks great on your wall.
