Review on Santa Claus Alapaste Gift Boxes: 30 Festive Candy & Cookie Packaging for Christmas & New Year by Carla Anderson

This is amazing BUT very difficult to put together. I had them stuck into candies for Christmas treats, and it took me nearly two hours to assemble 16 of these: Arrange the candies so the sides close properly, then tie the top together to hold everything together. It also takes time to figure out the best way to tie them. The best thing, I thought, after pre-folding all the edges, is to take the two ends of the ribbon and pull them through the two "corners" next to each other from the outside in into the box/triangle. Put something inside, tuck in all the sides and pull the two ends of the tape through the other two "corners" - now inside out. The two strands of tape are next to each other. For example, make a tie, the first step in tying your shoelaces, then attach a gift tag to a ribbon, then tie a bow. (I tried knitting the ribbon a few different ways, but only this way did I find it really closed and looked nice and was flat / had no gaps in the folds. I know it sounds confusing, but believe me - once They start playing You'll know what I'm talking about!) They're so cute, but they're so "busy" and take too much effort and time, so I'll choose something simpler next year.
