Looking for a budget-friendly way to elevate your wedding reception tables? These DIY faux linen table numbers might just be your new favorite craft. They look high-end, feel super custom, and add that cozy-luxe vibe that ties your whole tablescape together. The best part? They’re easier to make than they look.
Why Faux Linen Table Numbers Are the Vibe
When planning your wedding, you want every detail to feel intentional. That’s where these faux linen table numbers come in. Not only do they add texture and warmth to your reception, but they also photograph beautifully. Since they’re made with wallpaper, plywood, and chipboard numbers, they strike the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern minimalism.
Even better, they’re reusable or sellable after your big day—which makes them a win-win.
What You’ll Need
Before you get started, gather your materials. I’ve linked the exact ones I used:
Pro tip: If you don’t own a Cricut, ask a crafty friend or check Etsy for pre-cut chipboard numbers.
Step-by-Step: How to Make Faux Linen Table Numbers
1. Cut out your numbers
Use your Cricut to cut chipboard into whatever numbers you need. Of course, you can hand-cut them too, but the machine makes it quicker and cleaner.
2. Glue numbers onto plywood
Once your numbers are ready, glue them securely onto your plywood base. Make sure they’re centered and fully attached before moving to the next step.
3. Cover with linen wallpaper
Now here’s where the magic happens. Lay the linen wallpaper over your board and gently smooth it using a straight edge. Then, carefully use a hair dryer to warm the paper. This step helps shrink the wallpaper and mold it around the numbers so they subtly pop through the fabric—giving you that faux embossed linen look.
Even though this part takes a little patience, it’s what really makes the final product look professional.
Why This DIY is Worth It
Although pre-made options are everywhere, creating these table numbers yourself allows you to match your exact aesthetic. Whether you’re going for modern, rustic, or minimal, the texture of linen pairs beautifully with so many wedding styles.
More importantly, the process itself can be fun—especially if you’re crafting with your partner, bridal party, or family. After all, weddings are about connection, and sometimes, the smallest handmade touches leave the biggest impression.
