It's never too early to start planning your baking for the Christmas holiday season! In this two-part video, I show how to make a special 3-D Christmas cookie box, perfect for a holiday hostess gift, to tote cookies to a cookie swap, or to eat on its own. This video (Part 1) focuses on how to shape, decorate, and assemble the contoured box bottom, using straightforward papering and royal icing appliqué techniques. Part 2, coming in a couple of weeks, shows various ways to decorate the lids.
IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel. It is only through your support that I can afford to make more videos. THANK YOU!
