Types of sequins
Flat sequins
These sequins are round in shape with a flat surface. There is no facet, cupping, or embossing of any kind. Our flat sequins come with a hole for thread to go through. Also, these sequins could be glued on a variety of projects for a shimmery effect.
Cup sequins
A cup sequin features a flat center and facets around the edge. It is these facets that increase the reflective effect of the sequin. However, it is more difficult to attach than flat sequins. Also, the surface will not be flat when sewn together. Our cup-shaped sequins also have a central stitching hole.
Paillette sequins
Paillette is a large piece of sequin, usually oval or round, with a flat surface. A small hole near the top allows the tailor to attach glitter to make it dangle. When used in professional clothing such as dance suits or ski suits, the sequins create beautiful movement as the dancer or athlete spins.
Shaped sequins
The demand for fashion has given rise to a variety of shapes of sequins, such as flowers, stars, hearts, star flakes, snowflakes, leaves, and shells. Those shaped sequins can be easily used for embroidery, craft making, and jewelry making.
Material type of embroidered sequins
During the Renaissance, aristocrats sewed gemstone and gold sequins onto their clothes in intricate patterns as a symbol of status. By the early twentieth century, sequins were made of gelatin, but there were major limitations to these sequins: they would melt when the wearer was too warm or caught in the rain.
To solve this problem, in the 1930s Herbert Lieberman worked with the Eastman Kodak camera film company to create acetate sequins, which were still very fragile even though they were less likely to melt. In the 1950s, Dupont invented polyester cellulose acetate sequins, which became popular and were eventually replaced by vinyl.
Application of embroidered sequins
Embroidered Sequins are suitable for many occasions such as weddings, parties, balls, sporting events, performances, and so on. With the help of sequins, every movement of the wearer shows beauty. In addition to clothing, embroidered sequins can also be used for curtains, cushions, furniture decoration, and so on. More often, sequins are also used as accessories for handicrafts.
