I used black, fuchsia, dark blue, teal and silver sequins in the smallest size (I would avoid red and gold). I applied liberal dots of glue all over concentrating the density closer to the edges. Initially I placed one sequin on each glue dot. Then realizing at that pace I would be at it for the next 14 hours, I decided to dump a handful of mixed sequins onto the glue drops, shake it all around, and let the sequins cluster naturally; it looks more natural. I would imagine a performer may need to repeat the process as needed - I'm sure over time they may start to flake off. But I think that's what is going to give it that "worn in" look that Tim's seems to have.
I think mine could use even more embellishing!!
