I wanted to do something small, but nice for my husband to give to his employees at his work. I also had made mac and cheese the other night and was about to throw away the cardboard box (you know the ones-the bottom of the veleveta cheese boxes) when I got the thought to keep it and make a template for future boxes. I then thought it would be ther perfect thing to put the cookies inside of for my husbands employees. If your like me, you don't throw away any cardboard sheets! I cut out 7 more boxes and made slide on lids for each. I kept them simple and decorated each like Santa's coat.
Each box holds 6 perfect sized cookies. (I made choc. chip of course!) The black belt slides on and off to help hold the lid on.
A closer look at the punches I used. 3/4" strip of black for the belt. #2 3/4" circles for buttons and label punch for the buckle.
Adorable! They are sure to like these! Nice job Cynthia!
