I was using a chip board frame, and I used plastic to make it see through. But once I added the sequence it was to tight and nothing moved. I'm so frustrated at this time!!!! Any suggestions on a better way???

i read in one of my scrap mags that you need to use dimensional foam type adhesive, so that there is space between your two layers. or if you dont do that, you need to make your plastic layer bigger and dome it up a little, so it isnt laying right against the chipboard

For all of my shakers, the clear window (I used a piece of a page protector) was always attached to the front of the shaker with a a thin double sided tape. I then used foam tape to attach the back piece, which gives enough space to allow little things to move around. If you are using beads or something that isn't tiny, you could add a double layer of foam tape. I have often found that the foam tape was usually always too wide, but I would just cut my pieces/strips in half, or thirds, or whatever size I neeed. The foam tape will last twice as long too.

For adhereing the top and bottom pieces, I peeled off most of the foam tape backing, leaving a small section unpeeled so I could add my shaky things, aligned everything, attached the bottom to the top. Once I filled the shaker, I used tweezers, or scissors or something to peel off the last bit of foam tape backing.
