Lace Shaker Card

Take a used piece of lace and turn it into an edge to edge shaker card.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Put 4 pieces of strong double-sided adhesive onto the back of a card panel. Do not overlap the pieces.

   

2. Step 2

   Remove the release paper from the two long sides and one short side only, exposing the adhesive on three sides.

3. Step 3

   Cut a piece of lace that is about 1/2" larger than your card panel on all sides.

   

4. Step 4

   Put the card panel onto the lace, adhesive side up, and adhere the lace to the exposed adhesive on the two long sides and the bottom. You will want to pull the lace very tight and flat before securing it to the adhesive.

   

5. Step 5

   Where the lace overlaps in the corners, trim off any excess bulk.

   

6. Step 6

   Pour sequins into the lace pocket you created on the front of the card as desired. It helps to use a sequin pouring tool for this step.

   

7. Step 7

   Remove the release paper from the adhesive on the back of the shaker pouch and adhere the lace, trimming excess as needed.

   

8. Step 8

   Put four more strips of strong double-sided adhesive on top of the lace on the back - this will also let you tuck in any excess lace where the corners meet.

   

9. Step 9

   Remove the release paper and adhere your lace shaker pocket to your card base.

   

10. Step 10

    Finish your card.

    

11. Variation - use lace that has been used as a texture tool while gel monoprinting for more interest and color.
