Advantages: great for when your board

Disadvantages: none

Sequin arts have been around for the last 20 years at least to my knowledge and have been something i have enjoyed doing since i was a child, i have quite a large selection of them hanging on the wall in my hall way, recently they have added beads to this which means the pictures can have more definition to them and be enhanced even more.

The sequin art kits are all made by ksg crafts, there are a lot to choose from and this is just one of about 50 available, i payed £13.99 for mine back in december from toys r us.

The original sequin art was designed on a black back ground which made the pictures stand out realy well but this new design is on a watery blue coloured back ground which i dont think makes the pictures stand out so much, it does work well for the fish designs and butter flys where it could be interpreted as sea or sky but not so well for other designs.

You get this as a complete kit and along with it you get the polystyrine backing that you push the pins into, the blue velvet sheet, full instructions, beads, sequins and pins.

There are 10 of these new kits available with the blue back ground and all are aimed at ages 11 years plus which is slightly older than the origninal sequin art which was suitable from ages 8 upwards, They are a little more difficult due to the addition of the beads but not too complicated.

You get full instructions with numbers on a pattern to know which sequin colour to put where on the blue back ground to create your picture, it is simple realy all you do is pin them into the place they are supposed to be with the pins provided and watch your picture develop.

Although this is simple to do it is very time consuming and has took me a few months to complete mine although i have enjoyed doing it, you get a real sence of achievement when it is finished.
