Hand Painted Gift Boxes, Cookies, and Ornaments.
These are some gift boxes I created which can be reused by the recipients. I bought them at my local craft store along with the unpainted wooden ornaments. My kidz painted the ornaments and I painted the boxes. We've been baking loads of holiday cookies using all natural ingredients (see my recipe in an earlier post by clicking the "cookies" label to the right) and I decided this would be a great way to present them. The snowflake cookies got a box to match, as did the Christmas tree cookies. The Kidz can really have fun with this, as they helped me make the cookies and then decorated them with royal icing (I have a new recipe--Alton Brown's--which I like a lot) and India Tree colored sprinkles. It really bummed out my 9 year old that I couldn't find green sprinkles for the trees, so we did mix up some of the India Tree blue and yellow natural food colors, and got a green similar to the color on the box above. Not too bad!
