I just love sequins. The sparkle and shimmer.
They are so mesmerizing to look at.
Clumping them together gives an even more mesmerizing effect.
I made this top with an Black Hanes T-shirt, some of Tulips sequins in Gold and Black
The sequins have made this inexpensive tee look like something you bought for much, much more.
Oh yeah, did I mention it is completely no sew.
Things you need.
- Tee-Shirt *mine in a mens medium
- Tulip Premium Sequins Black and Gold
- Tulip Fashion glitter bond or
- Aleene's Fabric Fusion
- Scissors
- Aluminum foil
First you will want to cut off the collar.
This will give you the off the shoulder look.
Place aluminum foil in between the shirt.
*This will help the glue from seeping to the back of the shirt
Arrange the sequins the way you want them on the shirt
One section at a time, start to glue them down. I tried both of the glues.
On one half of the shirt I used Fashion glitter bond, the other half quick dry Aleene's Fabric Fusion.
The fabric fusion is quick dry, so I worked a little section at a time.
Place a dot of glue where the sequin is to be placed.

Put the sequin on top of the glue and hold the sequin down for a few seconds.
This might take about a half of an hour or so
This might take about a half of an hour or so
depending on how many sequins you have arranged.
Once one side is finished, repeat on the other side
I opted for a lot of sequins around the neckline and then gradually fading them outward.
Let this dry over night.
48 hour before washing it.
Wash in cold water on the gentle cycle or hand wash and hang dry .

I just love how it turned out.
This made a great date night shirt.
