Butterfly Sequin Embellishments

While tinkering with my Brother ScanNCut cutting machine, I had an ‘Aha!’ moment. Everyone knows that I love flashy fashion and looks that stand out. How cool would it be if you could make your own sequin embellishments to add to your clothing? You definitely read that right! Cut out cute shapes such as birds, flowers, or butterflies like I did and adhere them onto an old sweater that you have lying around. You can wear it to the small holiday gatherings you’ll be attending this season, or just when you’re out running errands to show off your holiday spirit. Let me show you how to make them.

Note: The paper is waterproof and actually quite durable, however I wouldn’t recommend throwing this sweater into a washing machine. The butterfly may have a tendency to lose its shape being thrown around; go for hand-washing or put your washing machine on delicate and let your sweater air-dry.
