Sequins are small decorations used on clothing and accessories. They were originally coins sewn onto clothing as a symbol of wealth. Sequins can be made of various materials and used to create different designs. They are commonly used in formal wear and costumes, as well as in crafts.
Sequins are small sequins used as decorations, usually on clothing or other fabric treatments. They are often round in shape, but may be available in other shapes as well, and can be found in many different colors. Sequins can be made of many different materials, from metals and crystals to gem-like stones, but today they are often made of plastic.
It is said that the origin of sequins goes back to the ancient Mediterranean. One type of coin, known as a sikka, was later translated into the modern term “sequin.” Legend has it that these coins were sewn onto clothing, especially women’s clothing, as a token of wealth. Different types of scarves and other clothing were adorned with sequins, which was probably done not only to show wealth but also to keep coins safe as they were worn on the person. The look was apparently appealing to other cultures and eventually became a fashion statement.
Sequins sparkle and shine, and when used to embellish garments and accessories, they create a festive and elegant feel. A sequin dress is often considered formal and may be accompanied by a sequin bag. These items are most often worn as nightwear. Other items like wraps, scarves, belts, hair accessories and more can be trimmed with sequins and can be worn at any time.
Sequin fabric embellishments can be done in different ways. The entire article of clothing or an accessory, such as a bag, can be completely covered in sequins, or they can be arranged to form designs, images, or patterns. Sequins are also frequently used as embellishments. They can be sewn to line up with the edge of the fabric, or they can stick out. They can also be sewn flush against the fabric. They are less likely to fall off or peel off easily when flush stitched.
Sequins are also used to make a variety of costumes. They can be used to embellish professional costumes for performers such as dancers or skaters or for amateur dance and gymnastics recitals. Other sequin-adorned ensembles can be less formal, such as a Halloween costume or other Christmas costume.
Many craft items are also made with sequins. Animals and other creatures made into craft projects may have sequins for eyes. Doll clothes can also be decorated with them, and they can be used to add sparkle to crafts often to imitate the look of snow, light, water, or jewelry.
