It is up to you how you wish to decorate the main card.
Step 1 Take the card 8.5 cm x 8.5 cm and decorate the background as you like you will only see a window of 7 cm x 7 cm of this background.
Step 2 Trace the template on to the card (18 cm x 19.5 cm and cut out (including the window part).
Step 3 Turn the card over, so that the right side is facing down. Take your glue and place glue
around the inside of the window.
Step 4 Place the acetate on to the card.
Step 5 Take one piece of chipboard and place glue on to the back of it. Then place the chipboard on
the edge close to the scored line of the window part use the photo as a guide for placement. Do the same for the other 3 sides until the square is completed.
Step 6 Do another layer of chipboard following step 4. This is so that if you are using beads, that
they dont get stuck. (NOTE - if you are not using 2mm thick chipboard do another layer).
Step 7 Place the beads, sequins etc that want inside the chipboard area careful that you dont spill
the contents.
Step 8 Very carefully place glue over the chipboard pieces and then take the decorated card (8.5 cm
x 8.5 cm) and place it face down on to the chipboard.
Very carefully turn it over to make sure that the placement of the decorated card is okay. If not, as you have used glue, you should be able to adjust accordingly.
Step 9 Now to fold the flaps over put glue on to the 7.5 cm flaps and fold over, then put glue on
the 7.7 cm flaps and fold over.
Step 10 Your basic shaker box is now complete.
This can now be glued to a decorated card base.
