Hi, I'm back with Part 2 of the mini-video series that I started last week about how to make 3-D mosaic cookie boxes. This week we're making a contoured cookie lid for the box with a flower-shaped pull on top. In the process, we'll cover how to work with three types of edible appliqués - namely stamped fondant pieces, royal icing transfers, and other small cookies.
Heads up: Lots of mosaic piecework can be time consuming, so if you're just starting out, consider doing a small area on a flat cookie before going all out with this project.

Box dimensions: 5-inch fluted round base; 2 (2-inch tall x 6- to 6 1/2-inch long) contoured cookie strips for box sides to form a 4- to 4 1/4-inch diameter circle with 4 1/4- to 4 1/2-inch lid (NOTE: Slightly smaller dimensions were given in my Part 1 video, but those noted here are more accurate. Of course, the box can be scaled up or down to any size you prefer! The dimensions here are simply what's shown in the video.)
