~what's your number?~

So, I have these 2 chairs from Ikea in my dining room.
Yesterday I decided they needed a little something
extra on them.

Here they are before:

I decided I wanted to put a number on each one, so here is what I did.
In a word document I created 2 numbers, 3 and 7 in the Edwardian Script font, size 650, and printed them out.

Then I carefully cut each number out and taped it to the chair using double stick tape.

Next, I traced around each number with pencil.

Then using black fabric paint and a fine tip brush, I filled each number in!

In a day or so I am going to wash them and hope that the black fades a bit.
What do you think?
