@keepscrappin I've just spent about an hour doing my shake box and I realize that I might not be. doing it right. The shake box has to be closed and nothing coming out of it, doesn't it? I made it more like a stuffed pocket. Like this: Is that okay, or do I need to take the stuff that is coming out of the top out and close the top?
hmmm... that looks more like tucking things inside a pocket. What if you put stitching across the top to close it off and layered the balloons and happy word art on top in a cluster so you can work with what you have. Think tiny things inside the shaker like confetti, sequins, small thinner accents. HTH
Yeh, I was just coming back to say I answered my own question. I closed off the top and put the balloons and stuff in the other pocket I'm making with the picture.
