When I first used my Fuse it seemed kind of tippy in it's holder, like it might slide off my desk and melt or burn my carpet. Or, my hand if I tried to stop it. The electrical plugs in my room are in the normal 6" from the floor position and I don't have room on my desk for a power strip. The next day I happened to see this Cord Holder and bought it. It's heavy and holds the cord steady. I've been using Avery Elle stamp pockets (a la J McG) for making shaker cards. When I went to re-order, in typical Amazon fashion, the price went from $6 that I had been paying to $9. So I ordered these Embossable Plastic Sheets for $4. I'm not sure if they will work and to be honest, I think I will need two sheets for each shaker, so I don't think it's a savings. They'll arrive this week and I can test it out. What does everyone else use? Lastly, what are you filling your shakers with? So far I've used just regular old cheap sequins (a bag of thousands for $2) and some teeny-tiny shapes I cut with Silhouette or my Cuttlebug.

I have a Fuse, however I haven't used it yet, but when I do I plan on using some 12"x12" album refill pages that I got at a thrift store, think there were ten or more new in the package for a dollar. Check any thrift stores near you, they often have scrap things. Also, sometimes the dollar store has little packages of small words like Happy Birthday, or congratulations, that people sometimes sprinkle on a table, you could add some of those to your shaker cards.

You can use the big large-sized glitter to fill your shaker. I was looking at some at the Target dollar spot yesterday, but decided against buying any. They had valentine colors.

Thanks for the ideas.
I didn't think about the sprinkle words. I have some HB's in my wrapping paper bin.
Glitter scares me. What if I don't get a good seal. YIIIIIIKES! I'll check out the $1 spot this week, though.
