But with a little washi tape, it's a whole new box.  Washi tape gives you the opportunity to turn something discarded into something useable again!  I just wrapped tape around the box - that was it! In the areas where the box was torn, I simply used 2 layers of tape:
In case you were wondering, the cookies were delicious!! (Find the cookies for Best Cookies Ever here)

If you need even more ideas, just search Washi Tape on Pinterest...
