Then turn the printed number back up, use a pencil to trace the outline of the number design. Once the outline is transferred to the board go over it with a Marvy® White Fine & Chisel Tip Chalk Markers to fill the gaps and give clean edges to the design.

Next, take a Beer Growler and fill it approx 1/4 full of barley. Then use the growler as a vase, placing decorative dried wheat in the growler. Optional download our growler "Love is Brewing" design here and cut it onto vinyl using a Cricut, trace it onto the growler or have a calligrapher transfer it to the growler.
