How to Make Wedding Chair Signs

This post was originally sponsored by Old Time Pottery however all projects and opinions are my own. These custom wedding chairs are so darn simple but I have some tips and tricks that you don’t want to miss. Make those DIY wedding crafts perfect by following the craft tutorial below.

Supplies Needed

Burlap fabric or premade banner flags
Ribbon to match wedding color scheme
Adhesive vinyl
Acrylic or fabric paint
Stencil brush or pouncer brush
Cricut Maker 3 (or other Cricut Machine)
Glue gun or needle and thread

If making your own burlap banner:

Fabric grip mat – if cutting your own banners
Rotary or bonded fabric blade

Step 1 – Design your banner

If you are cutting your own banner flags, search Cricut Design space for the flags that you like, then create your “Mr and Mrs” in fonts that you love. Since you will be stenciling the letters, try to pick a font that has thicker lines so the paint has some space to fill. (The font shown below is different from the final project photos). Size your design to work with your chairs.

Step 2 – Create a weeding box

Since the letters you chose are to stencil, you can create a weeding box around the letters. To do this, add a square or rectangle to the canvas and line it up with the letter, then select both the box and letter and click “subtract” or “exclude” to create your stencil.

Step 3 – Cut your flags and stencil

If you are cutting your own banner flags using your Cricut, follow the prompts in design space to cut your burlap. You can find tips about cutting burlap in this post. To cut your stencil, use adhesive vinyl and then weed out the letters. The beauty of using vinyl for a stencil is that you can use absolutely any color that you happen to have on hand.

Step 4 – Paint your banner

After weeding your design, use transfer tape and place the vinyl on the banner and press down or use a brayer to make a seal between the vinyl and the burlap. Then, add a bit of paint to your brush (less is more!) and dab the brush on the burlap going straight up and down over the vinyl. This results in minimal seepage of paint under the vinyl.

Step 5 – Remove Stencil

After painting, carefully remove the vinyl from the banner. You can do this while the paint is wet to keep from peel up dried paint. Once the paint is dry, you can sew or use hot glue to attach your ribbon to finish your wedding chair signs.

These Mr and Mrs wedding chair signs are the perfect way to reserve seats for the bride and groom at the reception. Add this simple yet cute DIY wedding craft to your wedding to do list. You will love how simple they are and how great they look!
