UPDATE: To use less paper - don't click CUT MARKS or LABELS when printing.
Some people lose track of how to lay the pages out but if you start horizontal across 4 pages and then start the next row below it. See photo of pages taped.
I have templates available for 0, 1, 2, 6, 8. Just email me.
I have three other video tutorials on how to make the mosaic numbers and one for USA letters. Each one shows something a little different based on questions I received from people.
Use a box cutter or exacto knife to cut from the foam board.
I'm using these from Amazon since you can just pop the end off and have a brand new blade.
I like to make the base of rounded numbers flat so they stand. This is easier with just one number. If you have two numbers you need to measure so both are the same height.
Measure 6"-6 1/2" template and trace for each side piece. I used 6 1/2
Cut each board into 3 pieces for the sides.
For rounded edges lightly score lines 1" - 1 1/2" apart on a side piece.
I attach sides with hot glue but you can also use tape.
I used a hand pump to fill the balloons and used almost all 5" balloons. I filled with 1, 2, or 3 pumps of air. The 12" gold balloons are filled ramdomly.
200 - 5" balloons and 40 -12" balloons.
I just stacked toilet paper as a joke and found the 16 and Quarantined cake topper on Etsy.
I added the same color balloons on balloon stands and placed on either side.
Instead of a cake he wanted a fluffy oreo cheesecake. Yum!!!
I have a few other video tutorials. Each one shows a little different detail - printing, making them, filling, etc. Additional info based on questions I received from people.
