Where can I find little boxes that look like fences for cookie bouquets?

you could make them if you can't find them any where. I would use a paper box painted white, then cut fence posts out of thin card board, glue to attach.

Other then that i would first do a search for boxes and see if you can find something similar. Try your $ stores too, see if they have anything there or if they can order something for you.

What you do really depends on how many you need. If you are only going to need a few, i would go back to making them myself.

Destini,

I've seen these in the craft department at WalMart.

Could you make them out of cookies? Be very simple and edible.

When I primarily sold cookie bouquets I used to buy some supplies in bulk from a wholesaler in Atlanta, GA called Flowersincballoons.....now called Burton & Burton, and they have those planters! They measure 5" W x 5" D x 5 3/4" H....perfect for cookie bouquets! However, wholesale price is still $6.95 each and that would have killed my profit margin!

www.flowersincballoons.com

You can browse as a guest on their website or register w/ your business info and they'll send you an email with username and password info so you'll have access to pricing, etc.! Hope this helps!

Now, looking at the picture, I'm not sure if there's a bottom in the planter! Probably or it would be called a planter cover!

THANK YOU!!! That's exactly what I was looking for. icon_biggrin.gif $6.95 at wholesale thumbsdown.gif . I may have to go with gift basket boxes instead.

Couldn't you take a cardboard box, and decorate it with some popsicle sticks, to look like a fence line?

Theresa you're absolutely right ,but I need 20 and don't have the time to make them. So I'll start searching the dollar stores today for containers icon_smile.gif

Destini - Boy are we similar creatures! When I primarily sold cookie bouquets, I used the small die cut theme boxes in white.....just like what you pictured! I also bought those in bulk from flowersincballoons.com; or you could get them directly from the manufacturer; boxcoindustries.com! I loved using the gift boxes becuase I only had to trim a small piece off the foam brick and they fit so nice and snug!

Isn't that how it always happens? Go into a store for something specific, come out with more than you can carry? LOL icon_redface.gif Seems like I'm prone to that. Even on the internet... thumbsdown.gif I'm so bad LOL

Those Current boxes are cute, but I worry about the height. Have you tried them? I use just floral foam in the bottom of my cookies and I use a wide base so they do not tip over.

Any experience with that?

Thanks Julia

I never got a chance to try them because they were unavailable at the time.

We found some at a place called Flower Factory, located primarily in Ohio and one in Indpls area. They have a website. They are a wholesale place and it's one of those places that you better pick it up when you see it or it's gone the next time you go in. Pics on our "banna's" website of these at http://bannascookies.com/cookies.html#top. They are heavy ... made of wood .... no tipping over.

I made my base. It's in my photos; the only cookie bouquet in there. I really shouldn't have because it ended up costing me about $10 after buying the wood, the wood glue, and florist foam. But it was my first one and I honestly had no idea what I was doing. My friend sent me a pic of the bouquet she wanted and offered me $35 to make it. I said sure and later found out that to have it delivered from somewhere it would have cost her $88! icon_eek.gif Then, DH made me the computer cookie cutter and said his time was worth $35/hr...he's so funny! icon_rolleyes.gif

I have seen the boxes but I have also seem the little cupcake holders that are used for cupcake bouquets. Would you get them at the same sources? They were plastic little things with a fence for the sides.
