By Kiera Reilly, C’93
This summer the craft bug hit me, and with long sunny days, what better craft project to tackle than painting numbers? I was in Jo Ann Fabrics and Crafts and the large paper mache numbers were on sale! I decided to buy three different sizes of numbers and painted them different ways. A perfect project for a lazy summer day – also, painting is fun! You focus on making it perfect and forget all the other projects or tasks you *should* be doing instead.
Crafting for Penn 1993!
Small wooden numbers (note how the sides are in the contrasting blue or red?). I really like how these look.
Playing around with how to paint the large numbers – Each color area needed two coats. On the right I did blue edges, then white border and red…but you couldn’t really see the blue.
I brought the numbers to Philadelphia, and we took some photos at the Center City location for our Friday night party.

The numbers also explored campus a bit, thanks to our Alumni Relations liaison Colleen Kelly.
