Recycle and create (shaker/ candy card) 1

Dear Readers, thanks for stopping by, reading and subscribing to my blog.

This shaker card I created using recycled materials. I reused clear cover from punch packaging.
I created something more than only shaker card. I needed something for kids celebration, therefore I created a card suitable for candies and after sweets will be eaten with possibility to reuse it as shaker card. For easier storage I punched holes and used ribbon, that card could be hanged on the wall. Decorated it with flowers from Sun Kissed Fleur by Heartfelt Creations collection and EK success punched flowers. For transparency I added skeleton leaves. 

For opening I created a mini door. After i glued base card with backing paper, I cut a hole, leaving a quarter uncut. On top I attached a piece of card, using glue and strong double sided tape, added a folded ribbon for easier holding when opening. At the end of top card I glued Velcro fastener, the same I did to the main card. This keeps door closed. 

This is a great gift for kids and a great way to recycle plastic. Let me know how did you get along with this project.
