A Simple Hot Cocoa Station Gift
Sometimes all you need is a smaller version of a great idea to make a
perfect gift.
This small sized hot cocoa station is a great hostess gift.
A distressed box I bought at Michaels was just the right size.
Using one of my favorite stencils from
Old Sign Stencils, I chose to use only the "hot cocoa" part of the stencil.
Instead of using the stencil as intended I traced inside the letters then
painted the letters in on the box with red craft paint then distressed the
words when they dried.
Inside the box I added a block of wood to divide the box into two
sections.
I found jars that were the perfect size for each section of the
box.
The jars also had an embossed section on them where I added a chalkboard
label.
I made a small spray of greenery and attached a bow. The pretty spray is
attached to the block in the center of the box with a screw and is easily
removable.
Fill the jars with hot cocoa mix and marshmallows and you have a gift any
family would love.
I love how the stencils at
Old Sign Stencils
are so easy to customize to your needs.
Use all of the stencil as I did
on this Hot Cocoa Station Sign
or only part of the stencil like on this hot cocoa box.

Love this! I want to make a hot cocoa sign for my porch. Heading over to Donna's. =)
