Multicraft ImportsCraft Medley GC457H Cup Sequins, 7mm, 16g, 8 Colors, Rouge

The colors are great but they are not good value. There's only about 1600 sequins total in their package. I determined that after separating the sequins into the Darice 1992-89 Clear Bead Organizer with 12 boxes (containers). I had purchased 600 packs of sequins from another vendor and when comparing the total of one 600 pack container to a container of one color from the Craft Medley pack I determined that it was approximately one third of the amount or 200 sequins. So 8 colors yields about 1600 sequins. Pretty colors but just very poor value.The other issue as others have mentioned is the packaging. It literally took me hours to separate the sequins into separate containers (I bought all the color combos). The containers are shallow and you have to lift the lid very carefully or they all jump and spill into neighboring containers. If you are moving the sequins I'd recommend using a small teaspoon to scoop them up and transfer them. I'd prefer if these sequins were packaged in little baggies so they could just be poured into a container.I added a picture so you can compare. On the left are approximately 200 x 7mm pink sequins from one section of the Craft Medley sequins and on the right are 800 x 5mm multi-color sequins from another vendor.

I bought several different color sets of this brand of sequins. My plan is to use these for shaker cards and embellishments on paper crafts. First, they do the trick. They look nice and perform the task that I purchased them for quite nicely. That being said, the cost, as others have noted, is a little on the higher side for what you get. It costs me about $1 per card if I use them for shakers, while the amount I like to spend is closer to .30-.50. There isn’t that much in there for a good value. Lastly, I wholeheartedly agree that the packaging is a nightmare. They come 8 in a set, and if you want a few out of one square, it is an extremely difficult task to obtain. I like to store mine in either mini plastic bags or bead storage tray. When I transfer each color, it is a bit time consuming, but well worth the time. I cut each individual color square, taking care not to open them. Then I put them in a small plastic container. I use a powder tool to brush over the top and around the sequins. Then I powder the inside of the container I am transferring into, otherwise the static is pretty terrible, and they stick to everything except what I want them to stick to. Once I have powdered them, they pour fairly easily into the container of choice.

I was excited because there was a selection of colors for these sequins and they were cheap. I guess you get what you pay for: many do not have holes, many had an gray/black oil-like residue on them, a large amount were not stamped correctly (offset) or were completely flat. Overall, the quality was lacking and is just an average product. I'm using these for card making, so typically there is a small qty on the card and off-quality product does not have the ability to hide from scrutiny.

These sequins are perfect for sewing/embroidery projects, and come in a nice variety of shades of the color you order. The package is divided into 8 sections, each of which holds one color set of sequins. This is great if you are going to use the sequins immediately for a project - you take the lid off the package, remove the paper band, and you have your sequins set in cups already. However, the plastic package is very thin, so the sequins may spill if you knock into it (even very gently). I didn't find it to be a problem.

These are nice sequins, however, once you open the package, they have a hard time staying in their respective cubbies. I am looking at getting a better divider for them or using individual ziplock bags to keep the colors separate. The color is really nice though, and they look great on my craft!

The sequons are great, and color variety is very nice but the well that the sequins are separated by is not deep so everyone I try to get sequins out the end up all over the place. Even tried to put in a different holder but trying to get then or without then getting mixed up is next to impossible.

These are very nice sequins for the price as an add-on. I will say that getting them out of the package without making a mess was a little bit of a challenge, but I did manage to put them into tiny plastic storage jars.

Nice selection of sequins in various shades of red. Some are difficult to distinguish, however. I use them for card making. I wasn't crazy about the case, though, as it was difficult to open. I put the sequins in another container.
