Sequins can add decorative detail to handmade cards, ornaments, costumes, collages, signs, scrapbook layouts, and classroom projects. Their small size makes them especially useful for adding highlights or patterns without covering the entire design. For paper-based projects, they can be combined with scrapbook paper to build layered backgrounds and decorative accents.

The best adhesive depends on the material underneath the sequins. Tacky glue works well for controlled placement on paper and numerous porous craft surfaces, while hot glue can provide a stronger hold for suitable three-dimensional projects. Use only a small amount of adhesive so it does not spread beyond the edges of each sequin.

Yes. Sequins are useful for classroom art because students can use them to practice patterns, decorate seasonal projects, add texture to collages, and personalize larger group displays. Since individual pieces are small, younger children should use them with appropriate adult supervision. Teachers can pair sequins with other kids and school art supplies when planning hands-on creative activities.

Yes. Sequins can be attached to paper and cardstock for greeting cards, invitations, collages, scrapbook layouts, and decorative signs. Heavier paper can be particularly useful when a project includes several embellishments because it provides a sturdier base for the added weight and texture.

Yes. Mixing sequins with paper shapes, stickers, beads, paint, and other embellishments can add more depth and variation to a project.
