What are sequins?

All girls are a little “magpie” at heart. The passion for brilliance and radiance is in their blood, which is easily confirmed by wearing jewelry and outfits that shimmer in the light rays. And if stones give shine to earrings and rings, then small decorative elements called sequins can give a similar effect to fabric.

  • Holographic. The coating is shiny, with reflective inclusions, which gives them a spectacular shine when exposed to light rays.

  • A thread. The sequins in the spool are already fastened together with thread. This allows you to speed up the work process, because fixing individual elements takes much more time. With the help of such threads it is much easier to create patterns from straight lines, create patterns, curls, and waves.

  • Each of these types can be sewn by hand or you can use a machine for this. Inlay with beads, rhinestones or seed beads looks interesting. If necessary, the sequins can be easily pinned to the base with a pin or “placed” on the plate with glue. The important thing is that no matter how many sequins there are on the fabric, they will not weigh it down in any way.
