Description: How to make a shakerbox to use in your scrapbooking layouts.
Looking to add depth and dimension to your scrapbook? Look no further than shakerboxes.
The Supplies:
- Cardstock
- Glue
- Scissors
- Clear sheet protector
- Double sided foam tape
- “Shakies” – beads, small marbles, die cuts, etc.
The Technique:
1. Cut two pieces of cardstock and 1 sheet protector into whatever shape you would like.
Note: these 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 created a container for the “shakies”
5. Add your “shakies”. Or a small picture if you want a shadowbox.
6. Remove the backing of foam tape and secure the plastic protector.
Tips and Extras
- Use vellum as the “window”
- Use foam dots in place of tape
- Use ready made shaker tags
