Everyone knows that sequins are an interesting material for decorating clothes. But you can use glitter not only for embroidery. Sequins are an excellent material for needlework. They open up space for adults and children to be creative and express their imagination.
5 ideas for using sequins
Let's suggest five areas of needlework that will turn bright shiny circles into original things.
Decorative items for interior
Most often, fabric becomes the basis for glitter. But you shouldn’t limit yourself only to the material from which the clothes are made. Moreover, many lovers of sequins restrain themselves by limiting the number of them on things. This doesn't mean you have to give up glitter! The pattern you like can be embroidered on canvas and then framed. This will make an interesting decoration for your apartment.
A picture of sequins can be combined with any interior style. The main thing is to choose a suitable pattern or pattern and choose colors that will harmonize with the room.
Important! In addition to fabric, you can use paper, cardboard and even foam plastic as the basis for the picture. In this case, the glitter sticks, and you can even nail it onto the foam with small nails.
Interior decoration options:
- painting;
- mosaic;
- applique.
Their difference is the way the glitter is attached. In a painting they are sewn on, in appliques they are glued on. The mosaic uses both thread and glue, but the sequins are placed with some offset: the central hole of the sequins in the top row is not located above the same hole, but between the edges of the two lower sequins.
Decorations
Sequins will help you make an unusual decoration. Fashionistas will know for sure that no one else has such jewelry. To make bracelets, pendants, rings or earrings with sequins, they are secured to a base of thick fabric and strung on fishing line or wire.
The decoration is complemented with beads, which allow you to attach the sequins vertically and add volume to the jewelry.
Crafts and souvenirs
Sequins are a real find for those who like to make crafts with their own hands. They require a small amount of materials and tools: fishing line or wire, glue, scissors, sequins, beads. From this minimal set you can create an endless number of crafts that will decorate your room or become a gift to friends or family.
Important! The use of diagrams will help novice needlewomen. Precise adherence to color combinations, alternation of beads and sparkles will ensure the transformation of the idea into reality.
Sequins are used to make single flowers, color compositions and bouquets. Glitter is used for New Year's decorations; figurines of birds or insects are made from them.Having started working according to the schemes, needlewomen later create real works of art, trusting their imagination.
Embroidery or applique on clothes
Mass production of clothing leads to the depersonalization of children and adults. Sequins will help you stand out from the crowd of identical people, allow you to show originality, and transform your clothes into the fashionable category. Sequins are sewn onto things in the form of monograms, floral or geometric patterns. Fashion designers use flat or voluminous sequin embroidery, which is easy to master and perform independently.
Original gifts
Glitter eliminate the painful search for a gift and the fear that the chosen item will be presented by someone else. An inconspicuous thing will sparkle in a new way if you decorate it with sequins.
There are many options for using sequins. They can be glued to a gift card or banknote, repeating the color of the picture or inscription.
A glitter applique (the initial letter of a name, a heart, etc.) will make your notebook or phone case exclusive. You can also completely change the appearance of the gift: make the entire cover of a notebook, photo frame, cosmetic bag or case shiny.
Advice! To create a pattern or design, it is better to use individual sequins; for gluing to a cover, frame or case, fabric with sequins is more suitable.
Sequins are an excellent tool for joint activities with children, a real antidepressant, a source of inspiration and creativity. Any item with sequins demonstrates that its owner is aware of the latest fashion trends, especially if it is an exclusive item made by hand.
