  • The shaker pouch is made using We R Memory Keepers Fuseables and the Fuse tool to seal the edges. Use the Bookmark Die to cut two of the Fuseables (you can use light weight clear acetate, such as a page protector, as well). 
  • Using the Fuse Tool, seal the left, right, and bottom edges, leaving the top open to create the shaker pouch.
  • Fill the pouch with the X's & O's die cuts and sequins. Put as much or as little bits as you like. Use the Fuse Tool to seal the top. 
  • Sandwich the pouch between the top and bottom of the bookmark and adhere using strong double adhesive tape or liquid glue. 
  • Adhere the topper to the front and back, aligning the holes.
  • Adhere the colored images using doubles sided tape or liquid glue. If using liquid glue, make sure it does not ooze out onto the acetate.
  • Tie the ribbon onto the bookmark.
