Tips

  • Too many sequins or rhinestones will make you look tacky, so don’t overdo it.

  • Allow some length when cutting so that if you mess up you have a chance to make up for it.
  • If you want to create a curve, its easier to use scissors than a knife.
  • If you accidentally cut it too short, you can remedy this by adding a few strips of fabric underneath it.

Notes

  • Be careful with scissors and knives, they are sharp.
