Chicken bald back

I want to make THESE for my Christmas hapers this year,but am stuck as to where I can buy some nice boxes for them to go in?

 

I don't want to put them into cellophane bags,as I am putting my fudge into those,& I wanted these to be different.

 

Any ideas?

[Christian]

Are these any good? -

Thanks Christian xx

I am going to have a look in John Lewis next week too.

what about plastic lock and locks

 

I know they dont look all that pretty, but they are rather practical (and they would keep the rather scrummy looking biscuits nice and fresh for a lot longer)

 

just a thought

 

(they could also be re-used too )

They sell cheap versions of L&L in Home Bargains

I had a look on ebay, but unless you want a hundred, they are much good I need something similar too, but am still looking. Cello bags for me by the look of it.

I wonder if you can buy those rustic strong paper bags, with cellophane window fronts & fold over the tops?

Biccies in those with a nice address label in gold to seal & a bit of tartan ribbon. I think those would look very nice.

Do panduro hobby sell anything suitable?

Or hows about displaying some biscuits in a cheap chrome toast rack & wrapping in cellophane with a bow? Just a bit different.

I was the same as you - wanted pretty gift boxes. They seem to be hard to find in a good selection of patterns and sizes and are also usually rather expensive

 

I recently bought a Crafters Companion Top Score Board. It allows you to score card to make gift boxes and size and shape you fancy. I got it on ebay and also got a good selection of Kanban card in loads of pretty designs and colours. It's very very easy !

oh I forgot about those boards - I've got The Ultimate sat in a cupboard doing nothing. You've reminded me to get it out & make a presentation box for my mums magazine subscription prezzie. Thanks!

Actually, I gave up on the idea of making those cookies,because of the reviews they got - sound like a lot of hard work to me.

Thanks anyway, I am sure that link will be useful for something else

No worries but these are only for sharing with your favourite people
