How To Make A Cookie Box
A couple of months ago, my fiancé was hired to film a performance by the Salomé Orchestra at the MET and so I tagged along. Before that day, I could not have told you what a harpsichord was (still can’t, but at least now I know what one looks like). As soon as I saw this blue and gold piano-esque instrument, I knew right away that I had to somehow turn it into a cookie! I can’t seem to find a photo online that looks like the one that inspired this design, but you can get a glimpse of the harpsichord in the background of the video of the Salomé Orchestra performance. — Last year, I posted instructions on how to make a cookie box in a brush embroidered cookie box tutorial. This new harpsichord inspired box that I filled with mini cookies and gave to my parents for their anniversary in January is built almost the same way, but with a few improvements. —
