 Sequin Ornaments

 Materials:

  • Sequins
  • glue
  • styrofoam ball
  • dress (straight) pins
  • seed beads

For this craft, you can use pony beads, seed beads, and sequins. You want to start off by making sure you have a two-inch styrofoam ball. Then, you want to have some dressmaker pins by your side. Once you start making the ornaments they will become heavier. To get the beads on the dress pin put a seed bead pony bead on top of the dress pin. Then, you want to put the sequin on. It is good to have some of the dress pins ready to put in the styrofoam. There is going to be a line down the middle of the styrofoam ball. You want to follow the line by overlapping the sequins order/colors you want the ornament to be. Place it around the line until finished.
