How To Make The Simplest Shaker Card

Hi everyone!
Today, I want to show you the simplest way I know to make a Shaker Card : )

It uses a 10cm x 7cm clear cellophane envelope and a small piece of card, measuring 7cm x 4cm, to create a band to seal the top to stop your beads falling out. And stitching them together.
Like this …

1. Trim down the longest side of the cellophane envelope to 6 1/2 cm and pop your sequins & beads inside. Taking the piece of card that is to form your top band, {I used gold Glitter Card for mine} fold it in half, slide it over the open edge of your filled envelope ...

2. … and stitch them together.

And that's it! A cute little shaker bag ready to add to your card.

I made a pretty layered card with mine, wrapping a length of Natural Button Twine around it, before sticking it to the top edge of a 9cm x 7 1/2cm piece of pattered paper and layering it with a die-cut doily onto an A6 card blank. And I finished it with a couple of die-cut butterflies.

They're that simple : )
Lovely aren't they?
