Zentangled -- Numbers for tables

All five finished, with the Easels.
I am going out on a limb. lol We have presentations we are putting on through work and every year I do the flower arrangement for the check in table and I do the table flowers that have a number on them so that we know we get everyone exactly where they need to be.

Usually hot gluing and arranging flowers is really no big deal so I don't think much of it.

This year I decided to go a little different direction with the table numbers. I have taken 5" tiles and put block numbers on them and have Zentangled the numbers. The reason this  is me going out on a limb is because I drew them, I put them together.....if they think they are terrible and look like a childs drawing I will be mortified. lol. I finished them off with a polyurethane spray because I have found on the tile if you do not seal it it scratches and lightens.
1,2 & 3 -----Three is my favorite.

3, 4, & 5!
I think they turned out really good. I wanted easels for them so I was going to get wooden pegs and glue them together, but while hat the hardware store I saw HUGE nails....I didn't even know they made them that big. I decided on 8" nails and put them together with wire (the same used for the ornaments).

I added some hotglue on the tile where it touched the easels so that the tiles wouldn't fall and could be transported to the venue.

After I am done I am going to take the 2, 3, 1 (the 3 is my favorite) and my husband is going to make a cedar tray and we are going to fix them on the house for our house numbers.

I am so proud. I hope you all like them too. The nails were 16¢ each so a whole lot cheaper than the wood.
Again all five, better light.
