Takeout Box Takeout boxes are great for giving cookies and other food items. They have a more personal touch than a tin.

Difficulty – Easy Materials

• Light blue takeout box (takeout boxes are inexpensive and easy to find at your local craft or party store) • Snowflake patterned craft or scrapbooking paper • White frost craft or scrapbooking paper • 1/4-inch wide light blue satin ribbon • 5/8-inch wide iridescent white ribbon • 2 glittery white snowflake mini ornaments (strings removed) • 2 light blue tear drop rhinestones • Clear round rhinestone in assorted sizes • Scotch® Precision Scissors (6” for cutting ribbon and 8” for cutting craft paper) • Scotch® Wrinkle-Free Glue Stick (for attaching craft paper) • Scotch® Clear Glue with 2-Way Applicator (for gluing ribbon) • Scotch® Quick Drying Tacky Glue (for gluing the rhinestones and snowflakes)

Instructions

1. Cut a piece of the snowflake patterned craft paper 3/4 the size of the bottom part of front of the box. You can use the box to trace the shape on the wrong side of the paper. Try to account for the pattern before you cut the paper so there will be a few complete snowflakes on the front of the box.

You can use the box to trace the shape on the wrong side of the paper. Note: The length measurement of the white craft paper may need to be adjusted to fit the snowflakes.
