Dress up your Take Out Box

At Christmas time I usually take a little something to a few of our neighbors.  For some years now it’s actually been the same thing every year but packaged in a different way.  I make them an Almond Chicken Cheese Ball and include a sleeve of crackers.  I like to drop them off in the afternoon on Christmas eve and then they can use it that night or Christmas day as a yummy little appetizer.  It’s always a big hit.

take-out-box-1

This year I decided to use the Take Out boxes in the Holiday Catalog – which have also been included in the Occasions Catalog.  Inside the box is the cheese ball and the crackers.  To dress up the box I used some of the Crumb Cake scalloped Tulle Ribbon – it has been on the Clearance Rack – it was in a Holiday catalog a while back.  Cut a piece wrap it around the box and tie in a quick bow.  Then I added the tags from the November Paper Pumpkin Kit!  Quick, easy and they looked so festive with the blue & silver.

take-out-box-2If you are a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber you can still get this get as a refill – just add it to an order – It includes the supplies for the tags and the cards – just not the stamps or ink – but you can use what you already have in your stash.  Simply Snowflake Refill Item #136919 for $7.95 – supplies for 8 cards and 12 tags. 

nov 14 paper pumpkinAdapt this idea for other holidays or just for taking a hostess gift or a new neighbor gift over.  Add ribbon and a tag around the box filled with something yummy to share.
