Homemade cookies are a terrific gift. With a simple bakery box and some ribbon, the package will be as pretty as the contents.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A bakery box
Scissors
A ruler
A pen
A hole punch
Four 16-inch long pieces of ribbon
Two sheets of tissue paper
Delicious homemade cookies
Wrapping paper

Step 1: Flatten box

Open the box, remove the four tabs from the notches on the sides, and flatten.

Step 2: Cut off tabs

Cut off the tabs.

Step 3: Mark holes

Mark spots for holes on the edge of each flap, spaced evenly apart. Punch the holes.

Step 4: Lace ribbon through

Feed one piece of ribbon out through one of the bottom holes and back in through the other. Finish lacing the ribbon like you would a pair of shoes, and tie at the top in a bow.

Step 5: Repeat

Repeat on the remaining three corners.

Tip: To make the box even more decorative, cut a piece of wrapping paper to line the inside bottom of your box.

Step 6: Add tissue paper

Line the bottom and sides of the box with a sheet or two of tissue paper.

Step 7: Add the cookies

Place the cookies in the box. Put the most delicate ones on top.

Shouldn't step 8 be before step 7? You can't put cookies in a box if you haven't decided what to make yet.. >.>
