Punch two holes in the top of your gold glitter frames. You want the holes to line up side by side.

Thread the raffia ribbon through the holes you just punched in your table numbers. Then wrap the ribbon around your flower box three times and tie at the back. I chose to have my table number off centered but you could place it in the center of your flower box, either looks great!
