bevmatt Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Does anyone personalise their egg boxes? I am thinking of doing a few and looking for inspiration. Was considering polka dots and a bow etc... Just thought if anyone had already done some we could post photos and inspire everyone into making some themselves.....

Daphne Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Lovely idea - I might experiment for Mother's Day, my Mum likes nothing more than 2 poland eggs for her breakfast Looking forward to seeing other people's ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I started off five years ago by printing carefully designed labels for my egg-boxes. These days, I just recycle old boxes that I get given by friends - I don't always get round to ripping off the Te$co labels sometimes! It's nice to have a smart box if you are giving them away as a present, but I found the effort and cost of producing labels wasn't worth it, personally.

As I didn't seem to be getting many of them back, I decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bevmatt Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 But this has given me some lovely ideas for a one-off special for my Mum - thanks Bev! I think its just about making that bit of effort for a special gift - with mothers day coming up! I am going to look at making up some easy boxes - with a potato stamp - the kids will love it! Bound to keep them quiet for an hour over Easter hols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi Bev! Some lovely ideas there. I have a few personalised boxes that go to certain regular buyers who always buy eggs from me at school. They tend to keep the same boxes and so I rarely have one at home as it gets refilled. I went with a pic of some of my girls and the logo Derby House Eggs (house name).

craftyhunnypie Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 At first I bought lovely coloured egg boxes. But after having none returned I started requesting used egg boxes from neighbours & friends. We got lots. The ones from caged birds go straight in the recycle bin - yukky yukky things! Any we use, get the labels pulled off & I rubber stamp a chicken on them. I feel it's enough! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I have BHWT labels and took the time to write some info on them. I havent had any of those back and considering i was bursting at the seams with egg boxes i have almost completely run out People have not been returning them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevmatt Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Had a lovely time with the kids decorating some boxes - will post photos when I learn how! - We did union jack design, fried egg, hearts and daisies... once we got the hang of it - it was great fun - kids are now considering running a competition with friends on decorating egg boxes! Kept them occupied for hours without a single complaint! Superb on a rainy day. Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
