What You Need:
- Empty box from foil, parchment paper, or saran wrap
- Wrapping paper
- Ribbon or string
- Button, needle & thread
- Tape/glue
- Paper napkins
How To Make It:
- Cut wrapping paper to approximate size for wrapping the box, making sure to leave extra for going inside the box and top flap.
- Lightly coat outside of box with glue (non-toxic Elmers glue would be a good idea since it will be near food) and adhere paper.
- Use tape to finish wrapping the box, making sure the paper goes onto the inside of the flap. Also may want to put a strip of tape over the metal cutting edge so no fingers get cut.
- Glue down one end of ribbon or string to center of top.
- Sew a button onto the center of the top over the string.
- Line box with paper napkins and add muffins!
For you other bakers out there, my all-time favorite mini-muffin recipe: Donut Muffins.
