In this photo tutorial you’ll learn step by step how to make this Money holder shaker card.
Step 1: Take a blank card and unfold it.
Step 2: Cut out a square from the card front by using a craft knife and ruler. It may be helpful to draw dots or guidelines with a pencil. Remove these afterwards with an eraser. (The dimensions of my card are 13×13 cm, the cut out square is 9×9 cm)
Step 3: Turn the card over and put double-sided adhesive tape on the backside of the card front, surrounding the cut out square. (Thin / normal sized tape will both do the job)
Step 4: Take a transparent sheet and cut out a square which is slightly larger than the square of the card front. Attach it on the backside of the card front.
Step 5: Use a lens cloth to wipe away dirt from the transparent sheet.
Step 6: Put foam tape on the border of the card front’s backside.
Step 7: Let’s make the confetti. Pick a few sheets of different colored paper.
Step 8: Use a hole punch to make confetti from the colored paper. Flatten the confetti a bit, so it can move around freely inside the shaker card.
Step 9: Then put the confetti on the card front.
Step 10: Grab the money or gift card you want to give as a present. You might need to fold the money bills to make them fit inside the square.
Step 11: Remove the three protective layers from the foam tape (from the sides and bottom of the card).
Step 12: Take a sheet of colored paper and put it on top of the foam tape. This will serve as the card front background.
Step 13: Cut off the excess paper, but leave a strip at the top of the card, about the same width as the card’s border.
Step 14: Fold the strip around the card.
Step 15: Cut the sides of the strip slightly diagonal.
Step 16: Fold the paper strip in. The money and confetti will stay in place now. This way the card won’t have to be torn when removing the money from the card.
