Sequins always catch everyones eye and stand out on any decoration. They are a perfect feature for all Craft projects and can be used by everyone. Sequins are usually disc shaped beads but often come in many geometrical shapes as well as being available in a variety of designs and colours. Sequins are made from plastic as opposed to metal when they were first invented and can be used for many decorative purposes and Craft projects.
The tale of Sequins relates back to a coin named 'Sikka' used back in ancient Mediterranean to embellish womens clothes. These become more of a fashion statement as the years went by and have gone on to become much more popular in recent years. Many people often now use Sequins to embellish old accessories and garments making them more attractive and eye catching for people to see. Sequins are also great for using as embellishments when creating a fancy dress costume as they are perfect for achieving that exciting and creative look.

Sequins also have many other uses including stationary Crafts and general Craft projects even though there most popular use is to embellish items. Sequins are fairly easy stitched to a fabric and can be sewn flat so they do not move or can be stitched at one point so they create a dangle effect on the chosen garment. Sequins are also available to all ages because of the variety of Craft Projects they are used for.
