Yes, I found another way to use the Heiko self sealing cello bags (50 count found at HM Ben Franklin Crafts) This time I made a shaker bag using the Pebbles line of adorable die cut/sticker creatures and words. A 6" square of the Pebbles printed card stock was inserted into the cello bag (a little strip was cut off the top so that the bag would seal) and sequins/paper flowers were added before the flap was pressed closed. Die cuts were glued to the front of the shaker unit and the whole thing was adhered to the bag with double stick Heiko tape. A matching wire ribbon was tied into a bow closing the bag.
Here is a close up of the cute scene. I love shaking the bag!
For the back of the bag I reversed the Pebbles printed card stock to reveal the matching plaid print. Extra strips of card stock were used to add more interest and color. In the center of the bag back I adhered an envelope with card using double stick tape.
The adorable Pebbles die cuts, word stickers and mini envelopes with matching cards are part of a reasonably priced set sold at HM Ben Franklin Crafts. You have to check out this absolutely sweet product line at HM BFC before they run out. I'm going back to get more goodies that make crafting fast and fun. While Shake and Bake might make you something yummy, Shake and Decorate crafts have no calories!!!

so creative.. a shaker on the bag is perfect and totally fun..
I love this shake and decorate bag! A while back I watched as other crafters created similarly embellished bags with shakers created by heat sealing plastic page protectors. But your method looks so much easier! Gotta try this for sure! Thanks for the inspiration!
