How do you make a shaker box?

[Swan]

I do not know how to do it. What do you use for the front, it looks like plastic. Can you use any plastic? As usual thanks for my SB education .

Swan go to http:www.diynet.com
Type in Shaker box in the search I just looked & it tells how to make some cute ones! The plastic used was from a page protector -

Share with us what you create OK?

I made my first shaker boxes for a swap on this board. I used a page protector for my cover. I adhered that with CM tape runner to the frame then I used that 3m thick double stick tape for the next layer added my beads then put the back on. I know some people have used fun foam stuff with either spray adhesive or ran it through a zyron.

I used shrinky dink plastic (unshrunk) because it is thicker and less flexible. I'm gonna make a shaker this week of a ghost and fill it with halloween confetti that a co-worker sprinkled on my desk.

I volunteer at kate's school and take the extra laminating paper that people cut off their projects and toss in the trash. It works pretty well. maggie

I haven't done laminating at school in a while, but I remember all the waste. What a great use for it.

Of course...I do have a home machine collecting dust, and found three packages of plastic in the closet last night...maybe I need to start running it through empty.

It is amazing how much thicker the heat laminating film is, compared to the Xyron.

Great idea!!!!

You want to know something funny. I was watching scrapbooking on DIY and they told me how to make one .

But I still like hearing how other people do them. Thanks for the great ideas.
