Tutorial: Sequined Sugar Skull Hairclip/ Pin

 

 It's been a while since I've written a tutorial, but I thought with Dia de los Muertos right around the corner now was a good time. I LOVE shiny, sparkly things. Sequins is #1 on my list of favorite sparkly objects. Growing up my mom use to make sequined pins for every holiday. I loved to watch her make the pins. Every now and then she let me help out. I must say I've improved over the years. (Last year I made 2 giant sequined pieces.) Once you've gotten past the first few sequins it gets super easy, you can zone out in front of the tv for a while and just keep going.

 To make your own sequined hairclip/ pin you'll need the following:

White pre stiffened felt

Black sticker felt

Extra fine beading needles

Clear seed beads

Thread- black & white

Ball point pen

Scissors

Pin back

Hair clip

Sequins- 

8mm white

8mm black

5mm black

5mm purple

5mm teal

5mm orange

Glue gun

Pattern

 Step 1: Draw the image onto white felt with a ball point pen. (Ball point pens are best for drawing on felt because they write smoothly and do not bleed.)
