Making a shaker embellsihment

Hello and welcome to our first 'use it up' tutorial.
As we are focusing on Sequins this month I thought making a shaker embellishment would be a good place to start :)
For this you will need
- Scissors
- Double sided tape, you can use glue but tape is much less messy. 

- Sequins.

- Foam pads

- Clear acetate, or clear packaging. 

- Cardstock cut into a shape with the middle cut out. This can be any shape you like, a heart, a circle, a polaroid, anything. :)

Step one
Lay out the acetate or packaging. I used packaging from some stickers.  

Step two
Cover the back of your shape with the double sided tape. Stick the acetate to it and cut to size. 

Step three

On top of the acetate, stick the foam pads. Ensure there are no gaps so the sequins don't fall through. 

Step four

Fill the gap with sequins. Its easier to do this before you take the backs off the pads. Otherwise the sequins all stick to the pads and it gets irritating very quickly lol. 

Step five

Stick patterned paper to the foam pads and cut to size. 

Step 6

Use however you see fit :) 

Pretty simple isn't it? But really effective :) Plus is uses loads of sequins so bonus!
Hope you can use this technique, if you do please share over on our Facebook group Stash busting or on instagram using @scrapbookstashbustinguk
