FAQs
What is the size range of the sequins?
The sequins in this assortment range from approximately 15 mm to 45 mm in diameter.
How much product is included?
The package contains 400 g of assorted sequins.
Are these sequins waterproof?
While the sequins themselves are generally water-resistant, the adhesive used to attach them may not be. For items that need to be washed, use waterproof fabric glue and gentle washing methods.
Can these be used on children's clothing?
Yes, they can be used on children's clothing, but ensure they are securely attached with strong adhesive or stitching, as small parts can be a choking hazard if they become loose.
What types of shapes can I expect?
The assortment includes a variety of fun and classic shapes, though specific shapes may vary within each package.
Are the colors true to the images?
The colors are rich and vibrant. While every effort is made to represent colors accurately, slight variations may occur due to monitor settings and the nature of the assortment.
Can I iron over items decorated with these sequins?
It is best to avoid direct ironing on sequins. If ironing is necessary, turn the item inside out or place a protective cloth over the sequins and use a low heat setting.
Troubleshooting
Sequins not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a strong, appropriate adhesive for the material (e.g., fabric glue for textiles, strong craft glue for paper). Allow adequate drying time for the adhesive.
Color fading over time
Store projects away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. For washable items, use gentle handwashing and air dry.
Inconsistent appearance after application
Practice different application techniques on scrap material. Ensure consistent pressure and adhesive amount when applying.
Difficulty sewing sequins
Use a fine-tip needle and strong thread. Consider using a sewing machine with a specialized embellishment foot if available for larger projects.
