Hi Everyone!

Just wondered if anyone has any recommendations as far as a good source of good quality large sequins that could be used for scale accents on my first spandex tail that will be used in pools. Also, if anyone has any recommendations on what shape/size to work with that would be appreciated too.

I always worry about whether what I'm buying will look the same to me once it arrives in the mail. I bought ankh-shaped pendants once for a Halloween costume, thought they were the right size, and they were pea-sized! :doh:

Well I recently found a site that sells the same kind of seashell sequins that Hannah Mermaid uses on her tail if your interested.

24 choices of color better than the site I was using which is Cartwright sequins.I got the other sequins cartwright sells which I also thought were going to be big but when I got them I was like O_O 'holy mother of pearl!....This might take a while' but the other type of seashell sequins are a bit bigger which is great and saves a bit of time whether your sewing the sequins on or gluing them. I hope this helps a great deal.I'm starting out but I'm learning a lot through this site. :) Mermaid Kisses and Manatee Hugs! <3
