Do you have a charm on your bag? I’ve been seeing these in recent years and thought it would be cute to make one as a Bag Shaker Charm! Hi, Margie here to show you how I made mine. This past summer, we created these with our retailer friends at a trade show reception hosted by us, Lawn Fawn and Catherine Pooler Design. The stores used theirs to decorate their badge holders. So, come join me!

Gather Shaker Charm Supplies

Let’s die-cut all the things and gather other supporting materials together! Not pictured is using the Rick Rack Strip Die to cut a combination of wonderful pastel color cardstock strips.

1. Cut the largest Stitched Circle Tag with heavy weight white cardstock.
2. Cut the second largest Stitched Circle Frame with patterned papers from the Giddy for Gingham Collection.
3. Cut the third largest Circle Stackable with Clear Acetate.
4. Cut the two leaves from the Petals & Paisley Die Set with Melon Ice Cardstock
5. Cut the small six-petal flower, the large eight-petal flower from the Petals & Paisley Die Set with a combination of Blue Raspberry, It’s a Girl or Sixteen Candles Cardstock.

The Butterfly Accent

Stamp, Stencil + Die-cut the I Like Big Butterfly Stamp, Die & Coloring Stencils Set on white cardstock.

Prep the Shaker Base

1. On the white cardstock Stitched Circle Tag, ink and stamp the sentiment with Midnight ink and a stamp positioning tool. Designer’s Tip: Use the embellishment (flowers, leaves + butterfly) to determine placement. Set aside.
2. Die-cut a combination of pastel color cardstock with the Rick Rack Strip Die and place several strips below the sentiment with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Trim off excess.

1. Secure the acetate circle onto the patterned paper Circle Frame with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Note: Use a crease tool/bone folder to press the acetate into the adhesive.
2. Next, place the third largest 3D Foam Circle Frames White on the acetate Circle Frame. Designer’s Note: Keep the top liner is on when removing from the sheet. It helps to keep its shape when placing onto the Circle Frame.

Make the Shaker Charm Frame

1. Add the butterfly on the upper left side of frame with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.
2. Arrange 2 flowers + 2 leaves to the right side and secure all but the large flower with the same adhesive.
3. Center the small dot on the corner of the 3D Foam Circle Frames White on the small flower. Pop up the large flower with the small dot + frame from another corner of the same sheet.
4. Foil the flower centers with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Place foil color up over the exposed adhesive. Rub to transfer color. Peel to reveal foil. Use Powder Tool to eliminate the stick from the back of large flower.

Assemble the Shaker Charm Frame

1. Add a small pile of sequins on the center of white tag base.
2. Use Powder Tool around the frame before removing the liner and place on top of tag base. Press to secure.
3. Thread the Ocean Sparkle Cord through tag loop and DONE!
