DIY Cookie Box

One of the great things about having a Cricut Maker is how versatile they are for all kinds of crafts. Make your own treat boxes for all the sweet treats you might be making for neighbors or coworkers.

You can make your labels with a classic touch with a wax seal with Christmas designs.

  • Next, select the score lines layer and the main box shape layer. Select attach towards the bottom of the layers panel.
    *NOTE : Repeat steps 1 & 2 for both files of the box - box is broken into 2 pieces to fit approx. 5-7 cookies about 3” in diameter. For a larger box, adjust both files as one, as needed.
    *NOTE: To fit both files per 1 sheet of acetate, rotation of 1 file will be required. Otherwise, will need 2 sheets per 1 box.

  • Once cut, begin to fold the score lines.

  • Upload tag file to design space. After, hit make it to cut the tag. Adjust your material dial or setting to medium card stock and load on to a standard grip mat.

Sunrise on the Reaping
it was amazing
Oh Haymich, my heart is shattered for you. This was the perfect bridge between The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes and Catching Fire. Linking the wickedness of The Hunger Games with the victors who came together to end them. If Suzanne C...
