    I find the smaller ones work best with hand sewing then putting a small drop onto the knot

    Aight, Thanks for the info
    One last question since you seem to be quite knowledgeable in these sequins.. if I were to make a neoprene tail and sew these guys on.. would I see them on before or after the two halves are sewn together? Cause like, I feel like the sequins would get in the way when sewing the halves together but I also feel like sewing them around basically a giant sock would be impossible... (I have very little sewing experience, sorry if it's a dumb question lol)

    Sew them on before sewing the two sides together, But leave room for seam allowance.
