Sometimes, that item of clothing you've just finished making (or even one that you've bought!) needs a little something extra to give it that final sparkly touch; or maybe you have a bag that you think could use a little sprucing up before Christmas time this year. Here at Calico Laine, we offer many different types of diamante items that you can use to embellish your garment or accessory of choice. From buttons and buckles to beaded embellishments and even pendants, we are bound to have something that suits your requirements and tastes. We have lots of items available for purchase, whether you are making a small item like a piece of jewellery, or jazzing up a coat that you want to have a little sparkle with some diamante buttons. All of these items are available both in-store and online. If it's a lot of sparkle that you're after, we also offer bulk bags of Diamante stones. Available to purchase in both clip-on and sew-on styles, we stock a range of stone sizes and prices begin from just £6.99 per bag. Maybe you're looking for a pretty trim to use on an evening gown - we have several diamante trims available in different colours and sizes. Take a look at our beautiful diamante stones and trims in their own sections on our website. If you need shininess on a budget, then why not take a look at our acrylic jewels? Our acrylic jewels are available in a whole host of colours and sizes, and are easy to use and glue to practically any fabric of your choice (we also sell glue suitable for using with these items). Try mix-and-matching colours to yield different results - one of our girls recently used our AB and Pink acrylic jewels to decorate the sash of a ball gown, and we've included a photograph of the results. Our stick-on jewels are, as the name suggests, self-adhesive, and are perfect for giving small accessories that glittery touch. One of our girls has even decorated her car keys by mixing several colours together! Have you ever used any of our diamante items on any projects of your own? Take a photograph and upload it to our Facebook page - we love seeing what our customers can come up with! Until next time, Calico Laine
