How To Make Mr And Mrs Chair Signs
These custom wedding chair signs are so darn simple, but I have some fun tips and tricks that you don’t want to miss! Make the perfect DIY wedding chair signs by following the tutorial below.
Supplies Needed To Make Mr And Mrs Chair Signs
- Burlap Fabric or Premade Banner Flags
- Ribbon to match the wedding color scheme
- Adhesive Vinyl
- Transfer Tape
- Acrylic or Fabric Paint
- Brayer
- 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 flag shapes, then create your “Mr. and Mrs.” letters in a font 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 be stenciled, 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 Banner 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 out your design, use transfer tape and place the vinyl on the banner and press down or use a brayer to adhere the vinyl firmly to 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. Do this while the paint is wet to keep from peeling 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 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 easy they are to make and how great they look!
