DIY Acrylic Escort Cards | Wedding DIY

As requested by Tiktok here is an in-depth tutorial on how I created my acrylic escort cards for my wedding. I sourced the acrylic hexagons from Amazon and used a Sharpie paint pen to write the names by tracing them from a printed font then added two coats of paint and a layer of mod podge to the back.

Super helpful - thank you!

[@oliverpop10]

Thank you for this video! I had no idea we could use these Sharpies to make the names. They came out beautiful!

[@Christianthegem]

Thank you for this! I don’t have cricut so going to try hand drawn! It’s still beautiful without the calligraphy style 🤗

[@jackieturner3033]

Thanks for sharing that you paint from the outside in. I feel that I have more control over painting the edges. Thanks again!!

[@colleenreid2429]

You did these so well! The colour and precision of your handwriting were absolutely beautiful!

[@vrxoxo]

So smart! And turned out so pretty

[@daniellecastillo4061]

You’re a freakin genius! Just saved me so much $ and time! Thanks a bunch

[@melaniefowler3909]

These are cute! Do you have any photos of how you displayed these or had these set up on the table?
Thank you!

[@ysbelbella6674]

awesome job, great idea with the color coding!
i was wondering what an escort card was. all my life ive known it to be place cards...now i know

[@sararashed1930]

You put mode podge back and front or back only on the paint layer only

[@user-jc6rc5fu7w]

Where do u get the vynal name sticker from

[@michellegreen2025]

Did you use/make any stands for guests to place their tiles on at their table?

[@jacquelinevillacorta]

What color of blue did you use?

[@cichrisphotography]

Can you please add where you’ve purchased you did?

[@haleighswafford4598]

These are so cute! But how are you displaying these?

[@Craftyjan]

You can purchase acrylic place card holders to display them.

[@mmjoness]

Is it a special type of nail polish remover? Like 100% acetone or no acetone? I don’t want to crack them just in case 😭

[@suemartin8613]

I’m making these for my sons wedding too , we’ll , they are painting them and I am cricuting the names …
Should I mod podge over the names too ???

[@suemartin8613]

And congratulations 🥂🥰🥂
These are beautiful 🥰

[@nikkitube26]

I wouldn't mod podge on the front of the acrylic at all. It will create a foggy look. And I dont think the vinyl will need sealed since it is sticky.

[@ogvibes5012]

You’re very helpful, my wedding is next year and I am so stressed out

[@rumycakes-ruthmuchina9560]

what's the name of the pen?

[@CindyNguyenx3]

How many inches is the font for the names?
