DIY SEQUIN BLAZER. 7th August 2012 You may remember a while ago I posted inspiration for embellished blazers – well the inspiration stayed with me and recently I went about creating a very simple sequin backed blazer. A tip from me to you? The trick with any sequin project is to use bronze or copper sequin fabric which will look much more subtle and chic than other, more shiny, sequins. Away we go!

Use Parchment Paper Envelopes For Unique Cards, Tags & More. When we put together our latest round of business cards for Team Brit, we found ourselves putting anything and everything in these adorable mini parchment paper envelopes.
From colored pencil shavings to sequins to confetti and beads, these are a great way to add a little pizzazz to business cards, gift tags, name cards, and more. Materials: - parchment paper envelopes - sequins, confetti, felt hearts, etc - inkjet printer (or sharpie + cute handwriting) - scotch tape If you’re going to print onto your envelopes using an inkjet printer, the first thing to do is create your artwork and do a test print on regular 8.5″x11″ paper. Take your test print, and tape envelopes over appropriate printing areas.
Because the envelopes are sheer, you can line them up perfectly on the test print. Let them dry for 5-10 minutes, and get your pieces of craft flair ready. You can use a spoon to fill each envelope with colorful bits and pieces. We did one version using metallic confetti.
