Sequins are a fantastic way to add sparkle and glamour to your garments or craft projects. While hand-sewing sequins can be a time-consuming process, using thermoadhesive sequins can save you a lot of time and effort. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps of attaching thermoadhesive sequins to achieve stunning results!

What are Thermoadhesive Sequins?

Thermoadhesive sequins are sequins that come with a heat-activated adhesive on the back. These sequins can be easily attached to fabrics by applying heat, such as with an iron or a heat press machine. This method not only saves time but also ensures a strong bond between the sequin and fabric.

What You’ll Need

  • Thermoadhesive sequins of your choice
  • Fabric
  • Iron or heat press machine
  • Parchment paper or thin fabric
  • Scissors
  • Marker or chalk

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these simple steps to attach thermoadhesive sequins to your project:

1. Prepare Your Project

Start by preparing your project surface. Ensure that the fabric is clean, smooth, and wrinkle-free. It’s also a good idea to practice on a scrap piece of fabric before working on your final project.

2. Arrange the Sequins

Decide on the design and placement of the sequins on your fabric. Mark the desired locations using a chalk or a washable marker. This will help you maintain accuracy and ensure an even distribution of sequins.

3. Attach the Sequins

  1. Place a piece of parchment paper or thin fabric over the area where you want to attach the sequins. This will protect your fabric from direct heat.
  2. Position a thermoadhesive sequin over the marked location, with the adhesive side facing the fabric.
  3. Apply heat evenly to the sequin using an iron or a heat press machine. Follow the instructions provided by the sequin manufacturer for the recommended temperature and duration.
  4. Press down firmly, applying gentle pressure, until the sequin sticks to the fabric.
  5. Repeat this process for each sequin, working carefully to maintain the desired design.

4. Finishing Touches

Once all the sequins are attached, allow the fabric to cool down completely. Gently run your fingers over the sequins to ensure a secure bond. If any sequins feel loose, repeat the heating process to strengthen the adhesive.

5. Care Instructions

Proper care will help your sequins last longer. Always follow the washing instructions provided with your fabric. If the fabric is machine washable, turn it inside out and wash in a gentle cycle. Avoid excessive rubbing or agitation to prevent sequins from loosening.

With these simple steps, you can effortlessly add sparkle and pizzazz to your garments or craft projects using thermoadhesive sequins. So go ahead, get creative, and let your creations shine!
