Step 1 :
Get the stencil and cutter set from https :// www . stencibelle . com / products / pop-corn-cookie-boxcutter-stencil-set ( NB : not active until article is published ) Bake 4 of the sides of the box and one base using your favourite cut-out sugar cookie recipe or gingerbread recipe . A recipe with minimal spreading is ideal . It ’ s also a good idea to bake 1-2 extras just in case ! If you do experience a little bit of spread during baking , you can use a microplane to gently and carefully straighten up the sides Outline and flood each of the four sides of the box with white royal icing , and let dry overnight . Leave the base un-iced .
Step 2 :
Airbrush one of the sides of the cookie box using the stencil with the oval piece attached . I used Amerimist Holiday Red as it gives that bright popcorn box red . Airbrush the other 3 sides with the plain stripes . Let dry thoroughly . Using the POPCORN Mini Stencil , position it over where the previous stencil left the oval shape . Airbrush this as well in the same red . Let dry thoroughly .
Step 3 :
Using very stiff royal icing attach the first side of your cookie box to the base , use tin can or jars to support the side .
