Supplies

To create an Easy Sequin Monogram Letter using elastic sequin cording, a Paper mache letter, a decorative flower, a hot glue gun, and scissors, you will need the following supplies:

• Elastic sequin cording
• Paper mache letter of your choice
• Decorative flower (optional)
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors

Note: The amount of elastic sequin cording needed will depend on the size of the paper mache letter used. A larger letter will require more cording, while a smaller letter will require less. Be sure to have enough cording to cover the entire letter.

Learn How to Make an Easy Sequin Monogram Letter

Step 1: Cover the edges

We want to start by covering up the edges of the letter.

Take a strand of your elastic sequin cording and carefully cut pieces to adhere to the edges of your paper mache letter that cannot be wrapped with the elastic.

Step 2: Adhere the strands

With your hot glue, adhere the strands of your pre-cut elastic to any edging of the perimeter of your paper mache letter.

Step 3: Wrap the sequin band

Starting at any edge of your paper mache letter, hot glue the end of your cording (starting on the back of your letter) and begin to carefully wrap the sequin band around it.

Be sure as your wrap, there are no gaps between the layers of the cording.

If you have some small gaps, you can easily fill them in with loose sequins.

As you get to a new edge of your letter, you may need to start wrapping the cording in the opposite direction.

Of course, this depends on the letter you are working on.

We wrapped our sequins vertically along the outer edge of our letter ‘E’ to save on time and to give it a smoother look.

Step 4: Finish wrapping

Finish wrapping any other areas of your letter.

You should be left with a fully covered letter!

We wanted to add a little extra something to our monogram, so we decided to add a pretty coral-colored silk flower for a fun detail!

Carefully adhere your silk flower with a touch of hot glue.

Thank you, Missy and Kristen, for sharing your boundless creativity! I would never have thought to use sequin cording… wonderful idea!

Tips and Substitutions

• Cut the Cording Carefully: When cutting the elastic sequin cording, be sure to use sharp scissors and cut the cording at an angle. This will help prevent the sequins from falling off and give you a clean cut.
• Secure the Cording: To prevent the cording from slipping or moving, use a hot glue gun to secure it in place. Apply a small amount of glue to the letter, press the cording into place, and hold it until the glue dries.
• Sequin Cording: If you can’t find elastic sequin cording, you can use regular sequin trim instead. You can also use other types of decorative cording or ribbon to create a different look.

Decorative Elements: Instead of using a decorative flower, you can use other types of embellishments, such as rhinestones, buttons, or beads. Just be sure to choose elements that complement the sequin cording and enhance the overall look of the project.
