DIY Double purpose Wedding Table #'s & Party favors holder

As my wedding day approaches, the planning and craft making continues. Being that my wedding is a fall wedding we have a very fall approach with the decor. We first had picked the favors and then decided on how to display them. The result is a double purpose table number and favor holder display, not a fancy name but plain and simple.

I thought it was a fun idea to share for others who are on a budget and or people who enjoy DIY crafts.

 Supplies needed: Roll of burlap ribbon, roll of natural jute (aka twine), a soup can, a sharpie, scissors, number stencils. 

 Step 1. Empty the soup can.

Step 2. Have some soup for dinner. =D

Step 3. Remove label from can and clean inside and out. Also, we had to clean off the glue from the outside, we just scrubbed and rubbed but Goo-gone might have worked.

Step 4. Cut a piece of burlap ribbon so that it fits around the can. I overlapped by an inch because with this process I didn't have to use any glue to hold it on! Once your first piece of burlap ribbon is cut use that to measure and cut the number of cans you will be making, in our case, 10.

 Step 5. Using the stencils, color in the numbers with the sharpie on your cut burlap ribbon. It is easier to do this before you put the burlap around the cans, obviously why this is step number 5. I learned from experience, the first one I made, I already had the burlap on and then tried to stencil on the number...it worked but was more effort then you need for something so simple. 

 Step 6. Take your burlap ribbon with the stenciled on numbers and wrap it around the can. Take the Twine and tie it around and double knot to hold, again NO GLUE NEEDED. :) I lined up the knots with the overlap of the burlap. Mostly because that side wouldn't really be seen anyways. After you tie the twine on both the top and bottom, you can either cut the excess twine or tie into bows, we decided to cut the twine, since again...it wouldn't be seen.

 Step 7. Fill your cans with desired party favor or decor, in our case, Flavored Honey Stix! Yumm! We also filled them with some coffee beans for filler so that the honey stix didn't move around too much. :) I hope this tutorial was helpful and enjoy your craft! Here is the END RESULT:

Beautiful if I do say so myself. Thanks all!
