Customized Christmas Cookie Boxes

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is baking cookies. I love to bake dozens and dozens and give them as gifts to friends and neighbors. Each year I go in search of decorative boxes or tins in which to give them. This year I opted to make my own customized Christmas cookie boxes with the help of my trusty Cricut Maker. These boxes are very easy to make and look adorable!

Customized Christmas Cookie Boxes

These Customized Christmas Cookie Boxes are easy to make using a Cricut machine  (I have the Cricut Maker and I LOVE it). The lettering is too detailed to cut by hand, or at least too detailed for ME to cut by hand but you’re welcome to try!

I created an SVG file for each of the designs. You can get the SVG files for free by clicking below:

I bake only one type of Christmas cookies for gifts. I make Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies that are always a huge hit with everybody who tries them. You can find the recipe by clicking below:

MAKING THE CUSTOMIZED CHRISTMAS COOKIE BOXES

I created three different SVG files for the Customized Cookie Boxes. Each one is available free for download. Instructions for each box follows below.

Happy Holidays Snowman Box

STEP 1: Uploading the SVG File(s)

Download the SVG file from the e-mail link and upload it into Cricut Design Space. The file will look like this:

STEP 2: Cutting the SVG

Choose your desired color of vinyl adhesive and cut per the Cricut machine prompts. You can use whatever colors and type of vinyl you wish.

STEP 3: Weeding the Happy Holidays Snowman Letters and Shapes

After cutting all of the letters and shapes, carefully peel away the excess vinyl that is not part of the letters and shapes from the liner. Be careful not to pull off any of the letters or shapes.

STEP 4: Transferring the Lettering and Designs to the Box

Apply transfer tape to the Happy Holidays lettering. Smooth it down using the XL scraper.

Position the lettering where you want it on the box top and remove the transfer tape.

PLEASE NOTE: It is much easier to apply the vinyl to the boxes before folding them.

Next, using transfer tape, apply the snowman to the box. Apply the black hat and math on top of the already applied snowman. Remove transfer tape.

Apply transfer tape to the light pink scarf and snowman eyes in preparation for application to the snowman.

Apply light pink scarf and eyes to the snowman on the box. Remove the transfer tape carefully.

Next, attach the darker pink scarf to the snowman using transfer tape. Carefully remove the transfer tape leaving the dark pink scarf attached to the box.

Finally, using transfer tape, attach the orange carrot nose to the snowman on the box. Carefully remove the transfer tape.

Fold the box up and you have a completed Happy Holidays Snowman customized Christmas cookie box!
