Our new Shimmer Click system makes having a sequin wall easy and convenient. Using our new registered design we have developed new lightweight sequin panels that "click" together and so we have called them "Shimmer Click". Super easy to install either onto a pipe and drape stand, onto a backing wall and you could even hang them from a ceiling bar in the store window. These are lightweight but are still very strong as we use the best materials on the market.

How to make a DIY Sequin Wall

4/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Sequin walls are getting more and more popular these days, and they don’t seem to be going out of fashion anytime soon. Today I’ll walk you through what you’re going to need to create a spectacular DIY sequin backdrop, as well as how to put it all together!

What is a sequin wall?

​A sequin wall- (or Shimmerwall!) is a backdrop made of sparkling sequins. They are really popular for all kind of visual merchandising or event displays, and have been used by some of the biggest brands to make their products stand out from the crowd. They are also great for small to medium sized events such as weddings, parties, baby showers and photo backdrops. They come in all sorts of colours, so you can definitely find a shade to suit your theme.

What will I need?

​Firstly, you’re going to need some sequin panels. Shimmerwalls.com is going to be your best bet for this. We are the largest supplier of sequin wall panels in the world for a reason! Our products use the highest quality ABS plastic; we have over 400 colours and finishes in stock; and we have the cheapest prices!
Now, you’re going to need to pick which type of panel will suit your project the best:

Option 1:

​Our Standard Sequin Panels are great for one-colour sequin walls or very simple designs.
They measure just under 25cm x 25cm (9¾”), so four of them in a row would make a meter. These panels use 30mm (1⅜”) diameter sequins which are the most cost-effective option if you want a single colour, pattern, or simple design on your Shimmerwall. These panels can be mounted on a wall or backing board.

Option 2:

The Shimmerwalls Micro Sequin Panels are your best bet if you want to display a really intricate image on your sequin backdrop.
They are the same size as the Standard Sequin Panels (25cm x 25cm (9¾”)) however they are populated with much smaller 15mm (5/8”) micro sequins. This means your sequin wall graphic can be four times more detailed, so if you’ve got a photograph or logo, pick this! These panels can be mounted on a wall or backing board.

Option 3:

ShimmerClick panels are a new and innovative product launched by Shimmerwalls to provide a more accessible and easier to use sequin panel product for the small to medium sized events industry. ShimmerClick panels measure 33.3 x 33.3 cm (1’ 1⅛”) so 3 of them in a row would make a meter. These sequin panels use a grid shape, making it 60% lighter than anything else, and are populated with 121 standard size sequins.

ShimmerClick panels can be mounted on a pipe and drape frame, hang from the ceiling, or can be screwed into a wall/ backing board. They are also the cheapest option!
Yes, that’s a lot to take in! If need any help choosing the best sequin wall type to suit your project, please give our friendly team a call, or send an email and we will do our best to help you.
​
If you chose Option 1 or 2, you will also need:
  • A solid wall/ backing board on which to mount the sequin panels
  • Screws or glue dots or silicon sealant
  • An electric drill
If you chose Option 3, you will instead need:
  • A pipe and drape frame
  • Cable ties

How to make a DIY sequin wall

​If you chose Option 1 or 2, you will be using our Standard or Micro Sequin Panels, great choice! Now let’s start putting your sequin wall together!
  1. Clean and dry your wall surface, this will make sure there is no dust or dirt behind your wall.
  2. Starting from the bottom, place the bottom row of sequin panels together against your wall.
    1. If you are using glue dots or silicon sealant, apply a generous amount to each corner of the first panel in a donut shape. Then carefully place the panel on the wall.
    2. If you are using screws and an electric drill, align the panel on the wall, and then drill a through the panel and into the wall. There are special indents hidden behind the sequins to make sure the screws are hidden!
  3. Move onto the next panel, repeating step 2 until you have completed the bottom row.
  4. Next, place the next row of panels above the bottom row. Make sure the panels are aligned straight and are touching.
  5. Repeated these previous steps until your wall is complete; step back and admire your Shimmering sequin wall!

​If you chose Option 3, you’ll be using our new ShimmerClick panels. These will look amazing on a pipe and drape stand, so let’s get started.
  1. Set up your pipe and drape stand, the most popular size is 3x3m, so we’ll be making a wall this size but you can make it however big you want! Make sure the crossbar is set to the lowest height for now, this is just to make sure you can reach the highest point to mount the ShimmerClick panels.
  2. Pick up two of your sequin panels and clip them together side by side. These panels are designed to have a special mechanism to make sure they are aligned straight.
  3. Place the ShimmerClick panels, with the top edge aligned with the crossbar, and wrap two cable ties around the panel and crossbar to hold them together.
  4. Repeat step three until you have mounted the first top row of panels. (Make sure they are all connected side by side!)
  5. Next add the following rows under. You can raise the height of the crossbar to suit your needs. Use the “clicking” function to connect each panel together securely. Work your way down until you have completed the ShimmerClick wall!

Final tips and tricks

​
  • For Option 1 or 2, make sure to use the Planogram PDF which comes with your order. If you have a special design, this sheet will help make sure you place the boards in the correct order so it’s not too much of a puzzle!
  • For Option 3, make sure you place the side sequin panel columns in front of the pipe and drape stand to hide the metal work. You can also get creative and install a sea of balloons around the wall to make it even more aesthetic.

​Finally remember, if you have any questions at all regarding your Shimmerwall, then please contact our team who will be happy to help; we want to make sure you are proud and satisfied with your final Shimmerwall!

Moschino DAZZLES with sequin panels at Milan Fashion Week

23/6/2020

​Although this year’s Milan Fashion week was over-shadowed by COVID-19 concerns, we can use this time to look back on the huge success of Moschino’s runway show in 2019 which was a grand show by the luxury fashion label.
The runway event incorporated an 80’s gameshow "Glitz and Bling" theme which was elegantly brought together with retro props and of course a dazzling sequin display for the finishing touch. The yellow gold sequin wall measured 4 meters high and 6 meters across, and served as the backdrop behind a classic golden slots machine, as well as a group of glamorous models dressed up in glittery Moschino haute-couture.
​
The gold sequin wall, populated with our standard 30mm shimmer disc range, brought a lot of attention towards the runway show, and caught the eyes of many of the photographers. The gold sequin panels can be seen in countless articles about the Milan Fashion week in 2019.

The luxury cosmetic retailing chain Yan & One recently asked us to help with a large gold branded sequin wall backdrop displays in their Morocco stores. The Yan & One team wanted a high end store display that would make their products really stand out and they definitely made the right choice with their sequin backdrop. 
 
The sequin backdrops are 10 square meters and features the Yan & One logo formed with black sequins, surrounded by a stunning yellow gold background. We used our 15mm sequins to produce the logo and they have now used this display in three of their Morocco stores. To enhance the brands high end display even further, we painted each of the backing boards gold to match the sequins to add that extra luxurious touch to the Shimmerwall sequin backdrop and to match the high quality instore displays.
 
Shimmerwalls sequin backdrops are great for brand identity because they enhance the professional and luxurious feel when they walk into your shop. They immediately catch the customer's eye and make a store visit feel like an Event as well as the ongoing branding opportunity when clients take that inevitable selfie in front of the glittering sequin wall. In Morocco the sequin walls are called "Paillettes a mur" and these are proving very popular to the Yan & One clients, drawing clients in to see the amazing sequin shimmering wall.
 
Our client featured the Shimmerwall sequin backdrop in their store video which really captured our attention; you can watch it down below!

​Our outdoor sequin wall really spiced up the already brilliant Paradise Park Pizza + Patio in Chicago, Illinois. Our client requested something that would really bring their venue to life and these green sequin outdoor Shimmerwalls blend effortlessly with the sky and neon flamingos in the foreground.

Paradise Park is a warm, eclectic stop for classic and creative pies plus cocktails and beers served on a huge patio. They are a perfect client for our Shimmerwalls because of their vibrant and friendly atmosphere which is nicely highlighted by our shimmering sequin backdrop.

This outdoor sequin wall is 9 square meters and uses a total of 144 boards and 36,864 sequins, 15mm in diameter. The green sequins are perfect for this event because they bring out the colours of a natural and eco-friendly environment.
 
Our client’s picture of this sequin wall and champagne pouring video got over x3 more likes and x2 more comments than the standard pictures which shows just how much effect the sequin wall aesthetic has on the customer and on social media.

The neon pink flamingos from NeonExperts was also a great addition to the display, helping it stand out in the later, darker hours of the day.
 
Check out the Shimmerwall display at Paradise Park in Chicago, it is worth the visit!

0 Comments

 
​The Screen Actors Guild awards have been one of the most popular events in Hollywood since its first ceremony in 1995. It is an occasion held to recognise the outstanding performances and achievements of actors in film and television. This year’s SAG Awards was attended by a wide range of celebrities such as Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
 
The SAG awards are known for its invite-only, celebrity filled award event, so it was only necessary to surround the centre stage and photo area with shimmering sequin panels to bring that extra luxurious touch to the venue.
 
The two Shimmerwalls we produced for the event measured 202 feet2 (nearly 20m2) and consisted of 640 sequin panels and a grand total of 163,840 silver and gun metal sequins. It served as the background for hundreds of photos taken of the celebrities and published all around the media networks. The SAG awards rack in 2.7 million viewers each year so our shimmer panel display most definitely caught the eyes of many viewers around the world.

New UV Green Sequin for London Theatre

10/5/2019

Wicked sequin sign London
​We were delighted to be asked to provide the new green sequin fascia for the “Wicked” show in the Apollo Theatre in Victoria, London.
To ensure the sequins retained their bright green colour against long term sun damage we made sure to use UV resistant sequins for this project. Altogether we needed to populate 800  shimmer disc panel boards with the 30mm bright green sequins, this meant over 51,000 sequins were used for this and the UV sequins were specially produced for this project. The final effect is stunning and the UV resistant green sequins will retain their colour beautifully.
The green colour of the sequins matches the branding of the “Wicked” show which is one of the most iconic and enduring shows in London and which has unique and attention grabbing signage for this theatre. The sequins and shimmering disc panels are beautifully lit from beneath the signage throwing up a green colour light onto the shimmering sequin fascia creating an atmospheric and spooky feel to the front of the theatre. This green lighting extends past the signage and makes the building stone a green colour so the drama begins even before the theatre-goers enter the building.

Our black 30mm  Beyer Polycarbonate backing boards were used in this project adding a strong and resilient backing panel for these green UV sequins. We manufacture these boards ourselves with integrated pins that become invisible to the eye.
Also in the West End Theatre heartland of London we have supplied new shimmer disc panels for the Thriller musical.
