Cut out two pieces of card stock the same
size - for the front and back.
Cut the viewing opening from one side. You can cut a hole in both sides
(same place, same side) if you want to be able to see all the way thru the
shaker.
| Cut one piece the same size from fun foam. Trace the hole onto the foam piece and cut the hole about 3/16" - 1/4" larger than the hole in the card stock (this will prevent you from seeing the foam around the edge of the opening after it's done). Run the foam piece thru the Xyron. (NOTE: You can buy fun foam sheets that are self adhesive on one side) | Apply the fun foam to the back (solid piece) of card stock and trim if any extends beyond the edges of the card stock. |
Cut a piece of clear vinyl sheeting (a page protector works great) about 1/2" bigger than the hole in the fun foam. Put double stick scotch tape around the edge of the hole about 1/16" from the inside edge.Fill the hole with shaker filling - beads, potpourri, confetti or any loose items small enough to remain loose when top is applied. NOTE: Fun foam comes in several thickness' for lots of versatility. Cover the hole with the clear window.
Cover the entire surface of the shaker
with double stick tape (except the window) Put the "font" cardstock
with the window opening matching the shaker window in the foam.
Decorate and Voila! Shakers!!!!!
