How to Choose a Blank Christmas Ornament for Handwritten Names

A blank resin Christmas ornament gives you space to add a name, a year or a short message in your own handwriting. At Love Ornaments, the writing areas are supplied blank: you personalize the ornament at home, and pens are sold separately.

Choose the people or pets first

Start with who the ornament is for. A family ornament can mark a shared Christmas; a couple ornament can celebrate two people. For a pet keepsake, browse the pet collection. Before ordering, check the photos and the selected product option for the number of figures and the available writing areas.

Match your message to the blank area

A name usually needs less space than a greeting. Plan which name goes on each figure, then decide whether the bottom plaque will hold a year, a family name or a short phrase. Use the product photos to judge the layout; do not assume every design has the same amount of writing space.

Plan the lettering before you write

  1. Write your exact spelling on paper first, including capital letters and punctuation.
  2. Keep longer names simple and leave a little room at each edge.
  3. Check the pen manufacturer's suitability instructions for the ornament's finished surface. Ink performance can vary, so do not assume that any pen will work.
  4. Follow the pen's drying instructions before handling the writing or packing the ornament.

Check the order details
