Presentation is everything! Surprise your friends and neighbors with a sweet treat that looks as good as it tastes! In this fast-paced modern day world we live in, take the extra time and present your hand-made (or store-bought) treats with the love they deserve with beautiful handmade cookie and candy packaging.

Cello bags, paper bags, boxes or mini envelopes are the perfect way to present a cookie or an assortment of candies. By adding a beautifully tied bow, a piece of tulle, a simple punched flower or die cut, that bland packaging can look extra special.

Next time you are in the craft store, take a moment to look around at the seasonal decorating supplies – even the scrapbook aisle. A sprig of mini roses, a Christmas ornament or even a spool of clearance ribbon can add an extra special touch to your treat. What could be easier than placing a chocolate cookie in a cello bag, adhering a strip of patterned paper around the center, tying some tulle across the paper and finishing it off with a bow? A plate of these beautifully decorated treats makes a great presentation for a birthday party, afternoon tea or bridal shower.

For a single cookie, make a spiral rosette from scrapbook paper, add a cardstock base and tie the cookie to the rosette. Finish off your presentation with a satin ribbon bow and a die-cut.

Next time you are preparing a treat for a friend or neighbor, remember to take the time to make them feel extra special. Handmade cookie and candy packaging will let them know how much you care.
