What you'll make
You print each table number on white cardstock, trim it to 5 x 7 inches (13 x 18 cm) and slide it into a black wooden frame from a 15-pack that works out at $2.47 each. A boxed set of 20 frosted acrylic numbers on Amazon.ca costs about $3.10 per number, so the saving is modest, but you pick the font and colours and keep 15 reusable frames. If you already own frames, your only cost is the card.
