I am attempting a shaker box for the Seaworld swap.
Here is what I have done:
I put my filler in a tiny little ziploc.
I tried the shaker box from the cricut tags& boxes but it wasn't the same shape opening as the ziploc.
So I used the card with the window from the ZooBalloo cart. I put foam tape, 1/8 thick, on 3 sides. Since I cut a card the fourth side isn't open but rather it is folded. Embellished the front.
Questions:
1. size -- mine is 2 square inches, is that an okay size? It seems a little small, but any bigger wouldn't work with the ziploc
2. white foam tape -- if you lay the box down and look at it like it was in your album, you can't see the white edges. If you are holding it, of course, you can see the white edges. Should I try to color the sides of the tape? I was thinking either fluid chalk applied with a qtip or squeezing some stickles in the opening
3. the fold -- should I leave the fold or cut it apart and use the tape on all 4 sides
