Are you looking to create a stunning and colossal number for a birthday bash or a wedding celebration? Perhaps you want a gigantic 3D standee number that steals the show at your special event. Or maybe, it’s your little one’s birthday, and you want the number to match their height for an extra-special touch. The solution? Do it yourself!
DIY giant birthday numbers can be easily made out of cardboard. Almost any piece of cardboard can be used to make pretty large 3D standee or balloon mosaic number.
This technique of making a 3D number is easy to follow and allows you to create practically any large number or letter at home. With the same number template, you can easily make a piñata, standee or a balloon mosaic.

If you don’t have a big enough piece of cardboard you can glue several pieces together using the neat overlap seam technique. If you are going to make a piñata you will need the second (back) side to be cut out too. If your giant number is a standee for a photoshoot, like a decoration or a shell for the balloon mosaic, you really do not need the back side. It will be just fine having Front and Sides only. The thickness of your 3D number is totally up to you but with a large display number, I would recommend making its depth at least 4-5 inches and wider as your number is getting higher and larger.
