I have a mini-suitcase that I keep my sequins, rhinestones and beads in. Many of them were inherited from my grandmother when she passed away in 2002, and many of them are in their original packages. I especially love the vintage sequins from the 70s and their unique colors and shapes - flowers, butterflies, leaves, bells, moons, stars, reindeer....
I have a Christmas tree skirt that she used many of these sequins on. It's a bit... dated looking. Very glitzy. But the amount of work sewing all those beads on still amazes me. I have no idea how long it took her. There is no one left to tell me anything about it.
