How to Make an Easy Paper Plate Cookie or Favor Boxes

If you run out of ideas for gifting a box of cookies, try making a cookie box out of paper plates. You can use cheap white paper plates or more expensive, fancy paper plates with festive designs. These fun and festive little boxes are a great way to present cookies, candy and other treats for a party or even wrap them up and give as a gift. If you use small lunch-size paper plates you can even make them up as party favor boxes. They are a super easy, super cheap, affordable party and gift giving presentation idea.
