So Cute You’ll Barely Contain Yourself
Try this trick for a pretty Christmas Packaging Boxes that is reusable for the recipient. Inexpensive clear canisters and mason jars can be found at your local craft store, dollar store, or even resale shop. Look for jars with wide mouth openings so that you can easily reach in and out. For cookies, cut colored wax paper or tissue paper into squares and then alternate cookie and paper. This is also the ideal way to package our Apple Spice Muffin Mix and our Peppermint Sugar Scrub. Dress the jar with a bow, raffia or ribbon Christmas Cake Box.
A Window to the Heart
Start with plain gift bags to make these cellophane holiday-shaped Christmas Cake Box window gift bags. Punch out the center of your bag with a sizeable holiday-themed punch or trace a stencil or cookie cutter and then cut it out. With a clear tape runner or double-sided clear tape, tape around the cut-out image on the inside of the bag. Cut out a piece of cellophane large enough to cover the image and carefully slip it inside the bag, place it over the tape and cut out image. Press down to adhere. Fill the bag with homemade cookies or other treats such as our Cherry Cordials and then fold over the top of the bag a couple of times, then punch two holes with a hole punch and tie them together with a ribbon.
Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String
You know the saying, “the simpler, the better?” It’s true! We like to use simple brown butcher block paper as wrapping paper. Tie it up with some natural raffia, twine, or burlap ribbon then place a homemade label on the front such as one of the cute tags we’ve prepared for you to download and print for free. Attach a baking utensil such as a spatula or cookie cutter to the top. Just be sure to wrap your goodies like our Gingerdoodle Cookies, in a Ziplock bag, tin foil, or plastic wrap to keep them airtight and fresh in the package Christmas Cake Box.
You’ve Been Framed
Looking for a unique tray to present Frontier Pecan Cake or German Pound Cake to a hostess at a Christmas party? Picture this! Use a frame as the base. You can insert a piece of Christmas Cake Box themed paper with a personal message inside the frame. After the sweet treat is long gone, the recipient can remember the sweet gesture by putting a picture taken at the party inside the frame. Even better. take a picture while you’re there and mail it to her after the event.
A Work Of Art
Create a keepsake along with memory when you customize a plain tin with a child's artwork using water slide decal paper or full-page labels. Visit our Cookie Tin page for instructions on how to create your own work of art. Another quick and easy idea is to use your child’s thumbprints to decorate white gift bags for Christmas Cake Box. See the Finger Painted Christmas Treat Bags for some inspiration. A perfect way to package our Caramel Pecan Chocolate Cups.
Pretty Party Favors
If you want a pretty way to pass out your favorite homemade candy to friends at a holiday book club, bunko or homeroom party, try using doilies. Just adhere two small or medium size doilies together with a glue stick or use a piece of yarn to weave the two together around the edges, leaving a small bit open at the top and fold down the front doily a bit so guests can get a sneak peek of the goodness inside.The lace on the doily creates a fancy presentation for our Sour Orange Drops. You can even take it one step further and tie with a tag or ribbon to finish it off.
