Christmas Countdown....


This technique is versatile. Use wooden beads for jewelry, and Styrofoam balls for napkin rings and shoe decorations.


Tools and Materials

Wooden beads or foam balls

Strung sequins

Tacky white glue


Sequin-Wrapped Beads and Foam Balls How-To

Pull 1 or 2 sequins off the thread to create a lead end. Starting at the top of bead (or foam ball), secure lead end with a dab of glue.

Apply glue one section at a time, and adhere sequin strand, spiraling it tightly and applying pressure as you work. Leave bead holes open if you'll be stringing them; otherwise, cover with sequins.
