In today's project, I'm creating a shaker tag using a more traditional shaker technique with foam tape and a clear window—but with a fun twist! Instead of using store-bought acetate sheets, I'm repurposing clear product packaging that would normally be thrown away.
I'll walk you through the entire process step-by-step, sharing what worked, what I'd do differently next time, and a few lessons learned along the way. This project was inspired by the beautiful Craft Room paper collection from Echo Park Paper and is perfect for adding to gifts, journals, scrapbook layouts, happy mail, and more.
If you've ever wondered whether you really need acetate for shaker projects, this tutorial may give you another option using supplies you already have on hand!
