After much procrastinating, I wrapped up our bird table numbers project last week! One short Bridezillas marathon was all it took for me to finish up the last four birdies (a super sweet Mr. CC ordered the WE channel for me after I mentioned my not-so-secret addiction!).
Long-tailed Tit (best bird name evah)
Rock Wren
Red-billed Leiothrix
Ruby-throated Hummingbird. You may recall I mentioned I was going to redo the original tribute to Mrs. Hum since it was an evil-looking birdie!
I thought I’d include the others so you can see all of the table number cards together:
Hawk Owl
Superb Fruit Dove
Ringed Plover
Crested Pigeon (this one is my least favorite, so if we end up with 10 tables instead of 11, he’ll be the first to go!)
Barred Fruiteater
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
Short-tailed Pygmy-tyrant
How the table numbers will look when guests first walk in.
The opposite side of the table numbers.
This was definitely my favorite DIY project to work on because I feel like it was just the right personal touch for our guests.
What DIY project have you enjoyed doing most?

I loved doing table numbers too. My fiance designed and printed the numbers on green card stock, and I sewed them together with a brown zig-zag stitch. They turned out so cute!
i am so impressed with your drawing skills. i can only handle stick figures, if that. lol. i’m sure your guests will be just as impressed if not more!
Short-tailed Pygmy-tyrant is my favorite! But I love them all 
Very cute! We still haven’t decided how to number our tables. You are such an amazing artist!
Beautiful! you are one tatlented Candy corn!
That crested pigeon looks like he’s about to peck your eyes out.

@CarolineG:
yeah he scares me hahhah. i was working on him when i got a voicemail from my boss telling me i was being laid off. i think you can tell i was pissed while drawing it! hahaha
hello, you’re awesome. i’m totally jealous of your skills.
and for the record, i have a nasty hatred for birds. haha.
Very nice indeed. They look stunning, can’t believe you hand drew them as well. Good work!
They are adorable and remind me of engravings from old textbooks. Love them!
those are gorgeous.
Oh CC - those turned out fantastic!! You are an amazing artist!
These are fantastic. I’m sure I’ll be called a short tailed pygmy tyrant at some point during this wedding planning process, so I’m partial to that one.
so great! i hope you arrange to keep them after the wedding–they’re awesome!
you drew all these!! Wow!!!
Super duper work ms candy corn. I wish I had artistic skills.
So, what are you doing with the birdies after the wedding?
