How-To
To cover an entire surface: Working inward from perimeter of accessory, squeeze a thin line of craft cement and adhere sequin strand, overlapping each row slightly. When surface is completely covered, cut off strand and glue end. Let dry 24 hours.
To make a pattern: Use the tailor’s chalk to map out your design first.
