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
