Shaker Boxes for Your Scrapbooking Pages

Shaker boxes add depth and dimension to your scrapbooking layouts. Create a distinctive design for your scrapbook page with a shaker box.

Supply List:

· Cardstock (desired color)

· Glue

· Scissors

· Clear sheet protector (same size as your paper)

· Double sided foam tape

· “Shakies” – beads, small marbles, die cuts, etc.

Directions:
1. Cut two pieces of cardstock and 1 sheet protector into your desired shape and size. Note: Both must be the same size.
2. Cut the center of one piece of cardstock to make a frame
3. Glue the protector over the opening to create a frame “window”
4. Line the “window” with foam tape. This will make a container for the “shakies”
5. Add your “shakies” or a small picture if you want a shadow box instead.
6. Remove the backing off the foam tape and secure the plastic protector.

Hints:

· Use vellum as the “window”

· Use foam dots in place of tape

· Use ready made shaker tags for simplicity
