Perfectly Wrapped Shaker Box

Shaker cards are so much fun to make and give but I really prefer making 3D projects. So I decided to combine the two and make a very sturdy 2 x 2 x 4 inch box that is tapered at the top. I kept the decoration on the box very simple to put the focus on the shaker component. 

I created a small plastic bag to hold the sequins using a fusing tool but you can do the same thing using acetate and double sided tape. I demonstrate that technique in the video so if you don't have a fusing tool not to worry.

The supplies needed are:

8 1/2 x 9 1/2" cardstock - I used Sweet Sugarplum and Dapper Denim by Stampin Up

Scrap of a coordinating color cardstock for the ring - I used Rich Razzleberry and Emerald Envy

Scrap of Whisper White for stamping

Daffodil Delight for the bird

Sequins

Magnets

Bird Builder Punch

1/2" circle punch

Glue Dots

Fuse

Double Sided Tape

2 pieces acetates 1 7/8 x 2 1/4

Simply Scored Board

Steel Ruler

Score on the long side @ 2, 6 and 6 1/2
Score on the short side @ 2, 4, 6, 8 and score from the second horizontal score line at 3 and 7 down to about the 6 1/2 inch mark on the side ruler of your score board. Remove the paper from the score board and score from the bottom of the partial score lines to each corner form a triangle.  See the video for details on the partial scoring.
