With the handicraft technique Sequin technique decorative glitter objects are created by using a Polystyrene figure with Handicraft paint and coloured sequins. What looks like endless effort for the observer is a particularly relaxing hobby with fascinating results for the connoisseur
And it is as simple as that:
With the Sequin technique always colored Sequins with as short Pins as possible are put into a polystyrene body, so that complete colored areas are created
The Polystyrene figure can be completely covered with Sequins or only partially. Sequined areas can be combined very well with the felt technique and with coloured paintings. Exactly these combination possibilities make the charm of Sequin technique . In any case, the procedure is as follows:
The Polystyrene figure is divided into different areas with the help of a sign pen
First, take the areas that begin with Handicraft paint be painted. Prime these areas and paint them with faces, for example.
Are certain areas suitable for the Felting?
After the Handicraft paint is dry, take a little Knit felting wool (fairy tale wool), put it on the Polystyrene figure and connect the Polystyrene with the wool by piercing the wool with a felting needle into the form.
How does the actual Sequin technique work ?
Into the areas that are to be completely covered with Sequins , now place the Sequins with the help of Pins close together. Start at the outer contour of the surface and work in "sequin rows". This results in a particularly good look.
In this way, a small, really unique Sequin technique-work of art is created bit by bit.
