How to Make a Personalized Wine Box

Sketch Your Design: Sketch a design for the wine box lid on a piece of paper or use a design app on your computer. You can embellish the box with drill holes, pyrography, or both.

Use Carbon Paper: Cut a sheet of carbon paper to size and place it, dark side down, on the wooden lid. Secure it with painter’s tape and trace your design with a pencil. Mark drilling holes carefully with a bradawl and hammer.

Prevent Splintering: Cover the drilling area on the reverse side of the lid with painter’s tape to prevent splintering when drilling.

Use Clamps or Vice: Clamp the wooden lid securely to your workbench using clamps or a vice. Place a wooden plank between the lid and work surface to protect the table.

Choose the Right Bit: Select the appropriate drill bit size and screw it onto the Multi Chuck. Drill all same-sized holes carefully, wiping the surface regularly to remove sawdust.

Use Pyrography Tool: Switch to the VersaTip pyrography tool to apply the rest of your design. Use the Cutting Knife accessory for straight lines and the Pyrography Accessories Set for more intricate designs.

Sand and Wipe: Remove the lid from the clamps, turn it over, and peel off the painter’s tape. Sand down the lid with sandpaper to smooth any ridges and wipe it clean with a cloth.

Line with Wood Wool: Line the personalized wine box with wood wool and place a bottle of wine inside. Your personalized wine box is now ready to be gifted!
