The word Kermesse may mean festival or fair. I decided to use it for this blog, since here I would present a festival of crafts and arts done by myself... and 365 refers to the number of days in a year. The idea started churning in my mind when I came across http://makesomething365.blogspot.com/. The main concept of my blog is to show a piece of art or some craft on a daily basis for 365 days. Some of them I’m well familiar with, while others are completely new. Hope you’ll enjoy this year long journey and feel free to leave any comments.

Day 2 Sequin Art

Today’s craft is sequin art. It is simple but can be quite time consuming, depending on the size of the project. It involves sticking sequins – either on pictures or polystyrene shapes – with pins.

You need:
Polystyrene shapes (various, including animals and Christmas figures)
Pins (13mm, short)
Sequins (cup, sparkles)




You begin by passing the pin through the hole in the sequin and push it through the polystyrene shape. You continue doing this and overlapping each sequin as you go along producing a 3D effect. The result is spectacular and shiny, far much better than shown here. You can add aribbon under the sequins before pinning and be able to hang the shape, maybe in a sunny window to produce a myriad of colours :-)



Enjoy & take care x
