YES! They used spray paint and 3 styrofoam balls! So cute! I want to try it this year for the holidays.

With teh sequins I have found that straight pins work in keeping them in best, that way no messy glue :)

[OK!]

My great-aunt used to make incredibly ornate Christmas ornaments like that (no Mickey heads, though) with straight pins and sequins and beads, sometimes with a tassel attached to the bottom. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2006 so I can't ask her for tips, but I distinctly remember her using straight pins and no glue.

Sounds like a fun project!!!

they sell straight pins called "sequin pins" ...I'm sure I have some somewhere...now I want to make sequined mickey balls...
