What kind of sequins are these? Also, felt!

Hi ladies! I bought the book "Zombie Felties" today, and all through it they use a specific type of sequins that they don't name, and I can't find it ANYWHERE.

Here is a picture of the cover of the book that shows them:

Any idea what they are? Or where I can find them?

Also, does anyone have a good site to order felt from? Either squares or yardage, the more colors the better!

The image is a stack of felt sheets that you can get at a craft store that come in a variety of colors and prints. Don't know where the sequins come in at, but there are many different shapes that they come in which are called spangles, sequins are basically the round ones.

Here's a site where you can buy different kinds of felt with other types of fabric.

BTW, I would like to have that book too!

I've checked the local craft and fabric stores here, and the selections are shoddy at best. There isn't much color variety at all.

Spangles, huh? Maybe I'll have more luck googling that. Thanks!

Have you tried your local dollar store? I've found that most of the dollar and bargin stores in my area have felt sheets and I've managed to get some really nice colours. It does tend to be a little hit or miss, but at 4 or 5 sheets for $1 it's not too expensive to stock up when you find the good ones.
You may be able to find those sequins as well if you're lucky.

(FYI, I'm in Canada, so my advice may not apply in your area.)

Oops. Reread your post and realised you were looking for sites, not stores... >_< That said, you may still find the sequins there.
