Decorative Carry Out Boxes
Why let your guest leave your party or gathering with sloppy packages of food? Instead, here is an easy way to make left overs look appealing and also a way for you to say thank you to your guest for celebrating with you!
Don't let your guest leave with two paper plates smushed together with foil!
Or worse, letting them leave with their left overs in an old grocery bag!
Using a few inexpensive items, you can send your guest home in style!
Just paint on Mod Podge on the top cover of the box. Don't cover the tabs on the box, that would interfere with function and the box wouldn't close easily.
Then, using your hands just smooth the napkin on to the box, pushing out folds.
Flip the box over and neatly trim the excess napkin off.
If you don't care to wrap your boxes with the ribbon because you think it will be too time consuming for guest... you can just make two slits from the inside of the lid and slide your ribbon through. That way you can just tie a pretty bow on top.
Or you can use double sided tape to fasten your ribbon to the bottom of the box and wrap it completely around the box for extra security of food items.
Now here is a Carry Out Box to be proud of!
You can make these for any occasion or holiday! Send your guest home in style!
