Free Sequin and Glitter Eggs Tutorials

Before you get started on any of these tutorials make sure you learn the basics first.


My free tutorials are abridged to their simplest possible instructions to save on space. Please see the shop for my wide range of full-length, highly detailed, and very affordable kimekomi ornament tutorials. Sorry I do not offer sequin and glitter tutorials in the shop at this time.

Classic Red and Gold (March 2010)

Instructions

  1.  First, make a line of gold sequins around the egg dividing it into two equal halves, as shown in the video. There is usually a line left over from the manufacturing process (the mold line) that you can use to keep your line straight.
  2. Next, alternate colors of sequins, one red, one gold and so on, to create two more lines on either side of the center gold line.
  3. Make two more gold lines next to the alternating red and gold lines. You will have 5 lines running down the center mold line of your egg when finished.
  4. Next, paint the exposed foam with red glitter paint and let dry. You may need to apply several coats to get an opaque look.
  5. Once the paint is completely dry, spacing the sequins with about a 5 mm gap in between each, outline your existing lines of gold sequins.
  6. Pin flower embellishment in the center of the painted section. Use the 7 mm sequin as the center of the flower and be sure to pin down the petals so they lay flat.
  7. Place 12 gold sequins in a staggered pattern around the flower, as shown in the video.

You may notice that I did a few of the steps out of order on the video. That’s because I was designing it as I made it. When making this design yourself, it will be easiest if you follow the steps in the order written.

Materials

  •  1 smooth foam egg (about 3 inches tall)
  • 5 mm gold sequins
  • 5 mm red metallic sequins
  • 1/2 inch gold sequin pins*
  • 15/0 clear iridescent seed beads*
  • red glitter paint**
  • two gold flower embellishments
  • two 7 mm red metallic sequins
  • glue

*Purchased from Cartwright’s

Painting Flowers (March 2010)

Instructions

  1.  Draw 6 curving lines of various length radiating from the top and bottom of the foam egg.
  2. Draw branches on the lines.
  3. At the head of each line make a flower, using one color sequin for the center of the flower and 5 sequins of a different color for the petals.
  4. You can also make buds at the head of shorter lines by using 2 or 3 colored sequins.
  5. Trace the lines with green sequins to make the stems.
  6. After the flower and vine pattern is complete, paint remaining exposed foam with glitter glue.**

**Feel free to paint the foam first before you do the sequin pattern.

Materials

  • 1/2 inch gold sequin pins*
  • 15/0 clear iridescent seed beads*
