Saturday Step x Step Tutorial: How to Make a Christmas Window Shaker Element

Hello, Friends!  Welcome to Saturday Step x Step!  I know that many of us are busy at work on our Christmas home decor projects, so I thought I'd share a "how to" for this White Christmas Shaker Etcetera Tag,. The tag was created for the Most Memorable Christmas Challenge going on right now at Frilly and Funkie.


The base is a Tim Holtz Small Etcetera Tag.  I love working with these large sturdy tags!  The small tags measure a generous 6.5" x 12".  Perfect for a tag layout like this one.


The focus of the tag is this wintry window scene flanked by Tim's Victorian Carolers.   The window is actually a shaker element.


I used product packaging from the Victorian Carolers Die as my window glass.


The reverse side of the tag has a fun waterfall photo album where you can preserve all your holiday memories.

I've prepared a Snapguide Tutorial showing you step by step how I built the shaker window, prepared the tag base and added the layers.  I hope you enjoy!

Check out How to Create a Christmas Shaker Window Element by Kathy Clement on Snapguide.

My Christmas wish for you is that you find a little time to relax, create and enjoy this beautiful season.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,
kathy

    I loved this the first go round, and I'm so excited to get to see all the details close up in your Snap Guide. A fabulous tutorial! You make that window look easy, but I KNOW I would have everything stuck where it shouldn't be! (Do you know I have a glue phobia?) What a treasure this is! Thank you for your hard work and that wonderful guide! HUGS!

      That is exactly the issues I've had before - my sequins and beads stick to the tape, grr, so I will try this way next lol! I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one who has shaker issues though xx

    Thank you Kathy! Not only is your tag a beautiful inspiration it's also a learning tool. I will try this technique following your steps as I have had issue in the past with shaker elements. Happy Holidays Karen x
