Scrapbooking Shaker Boxes

 

Shaker boxes are a great way to embellish and add a little dimension and movement to any layout. They are an effective way to include memorabilia into your layouts, but can also just be added for fun!

 

Scrapbooking Shaker Boxes

This shaker box was made as a tag and would be perfect for any romance page. To create this tag, you will need red cardstock, white cardstock, a small memorabilia pocket, foam tape or pop dots, photo tabs, red bugle beads, clear mini beads, red fibre, one white eyelet and Sandylion Fuzzy Red Hearts Stickers.

 

There are a couple of different ways to make a shaker box. The method used in this article was chosen in order to minimise the bulkiness of the shaker box, allowing it to lie relatively flat on your layout.

 

To begin with, cut two tags out of red cardstock using the following template. Only cut the square out of one of the tags. This will be your front window. Make sure your memorabilia pocket is larger than the square, but smaller than the width of the tag.

The next step is to create the shaker section of your tag. To do this, cut a square of white cardstock to fit inside your memorabilia pocket. This will form the background of your shaker as well as hide the flap on the pocket as well as any adhesives used on the back. 

 

Once you have inserted your white backdrop, fill your memorabilia pocket with a combination of red bugle beads and clear mini beads. Then adhere four fuzzy red heart stickers to thin cardstock. Cut them out around the edge of the sticker so there is no frame and add them to your pocket. 

 

Make sure you do not overfill the pocket. You want it to lie reasonably flat on your page and you want the contents to be able to move around a little if shaken. When you are happy with the contents of your shaker, seal the pocket.

 

Cut several photo tabs in half. Place them on the back of the window tag around the edges of the square. Stick your pocket on top. Make sure you place it downwards (in other words, you should only be able to see white cardstock). When you turn it over, you will see the front of your pocket framed in red. 

 

The next step is to adhere the second tag to the back. You will find that due to the depth of the pocket, they will not sit flat. Place thin pop dots or foam tape along the bottom of the tag and about half way up the sides. Normal adhesive will be fine for the top half.

 

When you have finished gluing the two tags together, punch a hole in the top and fasten your eyelet. You can then decorate your tag with a string of fuzzy red hearts across the top and another fuzzy red heart in the bottom right-hand corner.

 

Finally, wrap a piece of fibre about the centre of your tag and thread another through the hole in the top. And voila! You're done! You now have a gorgeous shaker box to use on your layouts. And the best thing about it...You can repeat the same process with almost any stickers and for any theme!
