How to personalise a Christmas Eve box

[surreygirl1987]

Hello! Going to do a family Christmas Eve box for the first time this year. I'm intending to get a crate from Hobbycraft but my question is, how do I personalise it?? Hobbycraft used to personalise stuff - do they still? If not, where else can I get the box personalised with 'X family Christmas eve box'? I'm not very artistic or good with craft stuff so hoping to find someone else to do it! Any advice gratefully received!

Hobbycraft do some lovely Christmas stencils, which might make a DIY job easier.

Just paint the box with acrylic paint and use a contrasting colour for the stencils...maybe write the personalisation on with a gold or silver metallic pen.

Thanks! Those stencils look lovely actually! Now just have to figure out how to do the lettering!

I stuck wooden letters on mine with the kids initials. Or you can get smaller letters like these: www.hobbycraft.co.uk/white-3d-wooden-letters-52-pieces/642194-1008

Hobbycraft also do scrabble tile letters if you prefer that kind of style.

Oh perfect!! That's a great idea. Many thanks!!
