Solving the problem of Cookie Packaging

You have a cookie exchange. You need cookie packaging, but not just a food storage bag. Cookie tins are now plastic. Food wrap doesn’t stick to paper plates.

Last year, I lost several cookies in the middle of the street. They jumped from my plate. At least the birds enjoyed them. Now I’ve solved the problem of cookie packaging.

Sorry birds!

This cookie packaging idea looks great and keeps your cookies fresh. I used food storage bags. The gallon size, but any size will work.

Basic supplies I used

Food storage bags with a slider lock
Painters tape at least one inch wide
Wrapping paper or a roll of craft paper
Glue spray
Scissors

Don’t you love the lines they put on the back of wrapping paper now!! Those lines are perfect for this project too!

The Basic Steps

Lay your food bag on the wrapping paper and cut about an inch larger on all four sides. Cut another the same size.

Tape the top edge with the slider. The glue on the slider may cause it the stick.

Take your food storage bag outside and spray well with your glue spray on both sides.

Place the bag on the line side of your wrapping paper. Remove the painter’s tape. Cover with the other piece of wrapping paper and press together well.

Let dry.

Trim the two sides and bottom edge leaving 1/4 inch of paper.

Fold the top edge enough to hide the slider.

Open the slider and fill with your yummy cookie creations to share.

Other Ideas for your cookie packaging

Use a roller cutter and ruler
Use decorative scissors along the edges.
Instead of wrapping paper use craft paper and decorate the top using crayons or markers.
Cut a window in the paper to make a peephole.
