Old World Christmas has many dated ornaments and ornaments ready to personalize and we want to give a few ideas and instructions on the best ways we recommend for you to personalize your Old World Christmas ornaments. 1. Hand Lettering If you love DIY projects and want to add a handmade charm to your Christmas tree, hand-lettering your ornaments is an excellent choice. All you need is a set of fine-point Sharpies or paint pens in various colors and a perfect ornament for easy writing. Most Old World Christmas ornaments have a flat space large enough for a name, year, or date. Start by sketching your letters lightly with a pencil to avoid mistakes. Then carefully trace over the pencil lines with your Sharpie or paint pen. You can experiment with different fonts, styles, and festive messages, making each ornament one-of-a-kind. Don't forget to let the ink dry completely before handling the ornaments to prevent smudging. 2. Vinyl Stickers For a polished and professional look without the hassle, consider ordering custom vinyl stickers to personalize your ornaments. Many online retailers offer customizable vinyl stickers in various colors, sizes, and fonts. You can easily design your stickers with family names, special dates, or meaningful quotes. Once the stickers arrive, carefully peel off the backing and apply them to your ornaments. Smooth out any air bubbles with a credit card or your fingers to ensure a seamless finish. Vinyl stickers are durable and come in an array of styles, allowing you to cater to your unique taste and theme. 3. Hire a Pro If you want an elegant and sophisticated touch to your Christmas ornaments but lack the artistic skills, consider hiring a professional calligrapher. Experienced calligraphers can create stunning and intricate designs tailored to your preferences. You can provide them with specific names, phrases, or even your favorite holiday quotes. Hiring a professional ensures precise lettering and exquisite craftsmanship, making your ornaments stand out. Many calligraphers offer personalized services during the holiday season, allowing you to collaborate on the design and choose the perfect font and style for your ornaments. Personalizing your Christmas ornaments is a delightful way to add a personal touch to your holiday décor. Whether you prefer the charm of hand lettering, the convenience of custom vinyl stickers, or the elegance of professional calligraphy, there's a method that suits every style and skill level. Whichever option you choose, the result will be ornaments that tell a story, capture memories, and bring joy to your family and guests.
