What you'll make
You print each table number on white A4 card, trim it to 13 x 18 cm and slide it into a $3.75 IKEA RÖDALM frame. A boxed set of 20 acrylic arch numbers on Amazon.com.au works out at about $4.48 per number, so the saving is small, but you choose the font, colours and wording yourself and keep a set of reusable frames. If you already own frames, your only cost is the card.
