Directions for making a shaker box:
Let's put a shaker box on our layout or card!

1. Step 1
   Cut out your shaker box shape, such as a strawberry, watermelon, sun, moon or star. Make sure it is large enough to allow for the foam tape border and room for the contents to move about freely.
   
2. Step 2
   Cut out a window inside your shape using a craft knife. Make sure you leave at least a 1/2-inch border around your shape.
   
3. Step 3
   Turn your shaker box over and adhere the transparent film to the shape, using strong adhesive. Trim the excess.
   
4. Step 4
   Adhere sections of foam tape to the back of the shape. Make sure you leave no gaps.
   
5. Step 5
   Pour a small amount of beads, sequins, or small buttons into the well you created with the foam tape. Leave enough room for them to be able to move around.
   
6. Step 6
   Peel off the foam tape backing.
   
7. Step 7
   Place a piece of cardstock over the foam tape and adhere securely. Choose a complimentary color because you will see it on the inside of the shaker box.
   
8. Step 8
   Trim the excess backing away.
   
9. Step 9
   Attach your shaker box to your scrapbook page.
