A quick sequin trim recommendation

I love sequin trim, I think it lining the edges gives the finished shoe a much more polished look. Compare the shoes I worked on in 2012 before I'd adopted this "rule" and the 2013 shoes and you'll see what I mean.

You can line edges with individual sequins glued on one by one, but that's significantly tougher than using the trim. There are lots of options for getting sequin trim. You can buy it by the yard at a spot like Joann's or Hancock's. Jefferson Variety has an unbelievable stock of it. You can also buy whole spools on Amazon. I haven't done as much pricing research as I've done on glitter, but I'd say it tends to be ~ $1/yard and a "good price" is about $0.50/yard.

Far and away the best price I've ever found are these little $1 spools at Michael's that are 5 yards per spool. You kinda have to hunt for them, they move around and may or may not even be in stock at your Michael's. It's worth the search: the price is low for the quality of trim you get and there's usually a good selection of colors (I used this trim in purple to finish the edges on my LSU gold and purple tiger striped shoe).

At the Elmwood Michael's, they're up towards the front in those racks of sale items. In the Memphis Michael's they've been in a few spots, including a big tub of sale trim I had to dig in and the sale bins up by the register.

Here they are in the shelves of sale bins, $1 for each 5 yard spool: teal, orange, magenta, white , purple and lime green.
