You'll Never Guess What These DIY Cookie Gift Boxes Are Made Out Of

We're big fans of DIY gifts (here are 4 edible ideas) but packaging delicate baked goods — especially Christmas cookies — can be tricky business. And after all that effort, wouldn't it be a shame if they broke into perfectly frosted, sugar-dusted bits?
