Gilt or Silver Plated Mignardise
$ 12.00 - $ 24.00
Visit product page →This metal thread trims are tiny and were used extensively on 17th century stumpwork and up to today on Eastern European folk costume. The gilt version is petite and close to the size used on 17th century stumpwork to edge costume on figures emulating metallic lace of the period. The silver version is slightly larger and can still be used that way but opens up all kinds of other ideas to decorate embroidery.
The gilt version is about 3/16" wide and the silver version is 1/4" wide
This is a metal thread that I have been searching for forever! The machine to make it is intense and apparently only one company still has it (and it broke while making my large batch - I hope it can be fixed)

Die Stamped Gilt Spangles
$ 4.50 - $ 10.00
Visit product page →NEW! Gilt Folien Die Stamped pieces:
Gilt Folien No 411 - small cup shaped die cut spangles that are patterned on both sides. They can be held down with a bead, stitches, or a large french knot. 1 gram (approx. 20-24 in bag).
Gilt Folien No 198 - small flower shaped die cut pieces that are held down by stitch over them 2-3 times with a gold or colored thread. 1/2 gram (about 14) or 1 gram packages (about 28).
This is one of the most exciting product finds in years for me - spangles that are shaped! These spangles are made the way our normal ones are, but are then stamped with a die again to make them either textured or have a flower type shape. There are two which were sent in the Frostings Box 6 (No. 22 and No. 24) and two NEW ones (No 27 and No 23).
They are gilt and packaged in bags of 1 gram each. They are almost 4-5 mm in diameter. Depending on the spangle type, there are between 20-23 per gram.
You can imagine all kinds of ways to embellish them by using colored thread to secure them, a colored silk purl chip, a bead, etc.

The gilt or silver trims are perfect to use to edge ornaments! Made from bullions or checks wrapped around a wire, they can hold a shape and be couched as a trim or outline. They are wonderful around the outside of a Christmas ornament.
