Has anyone attempted to make these themselves? They are quite pricey if you buy them already done so we would like to diy
TIA

    Do you have a Cricut or another cutting machine? That would be the best way to get the sharp lines like the ones in your inspo pictures. If not, you could use stencils and paint or a paint marker.

    You could do stencils and paint markers. Or spray paint the stencil while covering the rest of the acyrlic would work really well for this! Or just buy your acrylic pieces and buy press on vinyls elsewhere (like etsy or a printing shop). It won't be expensive that way because they are rather small in size.

    What I’m going to do is print out some real fancy numbers cut it close enough to the number put it in the back of the acrylic and with my paint marker I’m going to trace it from the front. I will post pictures so you could see them as soon as I get to them

    I am doing them but haven't made them yet. I have a cricut machine and plan on making the vinyl lettering/numbers myself. If you buy the large $10 sheet of acrylic at the hardware store they will cut it to your size specifications so you can get even and squarely cut pieces. I have worked with acrylic like the before (I made a small table-top greenhouse for flowers and fresh herbs) and can say that the squared edged are SHARP. Get an acrylic edger tool for about $10-$15 and run it along the edges to round them a bit, then you can use either a buffer on a dremmel or a torch and run it quick over the edges to polish the edges for a more glass like finish on them. I'm using wood blocks with the appropriate width trimmed out of the middle for a lip to seat the acrylic in, they'll be spray painted gold.

    I attempted the stencil/spray paint idea (was bored and wanted to actually see what I had envisioned) let me tell ya the glitter spray paint is MESSY 😂 need either bigger stencils or might just do vinyl

    Yeah I think bigger stencils but then also it probably would only work best if it was a matte spray paint instead of sparkly. I wonder if they have stickers of sparkly silver numbers you could buy online or in a craft store? No mess and then you only have to do the frame part!
