Shaker Boxes
Special thanks to Debbie Mauerhan for her detailed instructions and her inspiration to share this addictive technique.
What is a Shaker box?
A “shaker” box is something like a child’s rattle. It is a decorated embellishment for a scrapbook which has a clear plastic top through which one can see loose items inside. When shaken, it makes a rattling sound. This is a wonderful way to add a special flair to your pages – they can be cute or elegant!
Step by step instructions:
- Cut 2 identical shapes from cardstock. One will be the TOP the other will be the BOTTOM.
- Cut a hole in the TOP.
- Cut a piece of clear plastic to cover the hole in the TOP.
- Decorate TOP and BOTTOM.
- Adhere the plastic to the TOP. (Check for fingerprints on the plastic).
- Line the underside of the TOP with double sided foam tape.
- Place punchies, beads, etc., inside TOP.
- Adhere BOTTOM to TOP.
- Adhere the shaker box to your scrapbook page as an embellishment & enjoy!
