The school district bands had a concert for all their groups and a bake sale. I made up some gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, wrapped them and included the recipe, and decided I needed a box, so wove one using poster board.

I used black and white poster board to get a checkered effect, and used hot glue to keep things together. I chose to weave because I thought it would make a stronger box, which it did, slightly. I had to add a double layer to the bottom to add rigidity, but it still had some flex. For a single-day event, it worked, but it was a time investment that wasn’t worth the output. A smaller box would probably be more sturdy and be able to be reused. If I were to make one again, I would also skip the two colors, which makes it harder to finish the top without messing up the pattern.
