But what is behind this sparkle? Let's dive into the world of fabric that has the ability to change the ordinary into magic.
Interesting facts and history of appearance
The history of glitter fabric has interesting facts and stages of development. Unlike other materials, it is relatively recent, but it impresses with its speed of spread and popularity.
The term "glitter" comes from the English word "glitter", which means "shine", "shiny". The emergence of glitter fabric can be traced back to the early 20th century, when synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon first appeared. New materials became the basis for the development of shiny fabrics. By combining these fibers with metallized yarns or an artificial shine coating, a fabric with a unique, light-scattering effect was created.

Overview of 3-meter sequin mesh
Among the many fabrics and accessories that you can buy wholesale and retail in the Inter-tex online store, we would like to highlight a product that is of particular interest to customers - a 3-meter net with sparkling specks. This glitter has become an integral part of the assortment, gaining popularity among those who want to create a unique and fabulous look on the most important day of their lives.
The material is made by applying small sequins to the mesh with a special glue. The fabric is quite durable, has a strong structure, and stretches a little. The front side is textured and rough, which is why it can slightly scratch smooth materials or leave clues. The sequins on the mesh do not lose their brightness and do not fade in the sun. They are firmly glued to the base, which prevents them from crumbling. However, some of the upper fragments may fall off, but this will not affect the material's presentable appearance. The mesh is breathable and low in hygroscopicity, so clothes dry quickly. The edges of the product do not need to be processed, as they do not crumble.
The site presents a glitter in milk color. The country of origin is Turkey. The fabric is 100% polyester. With a 3-meter width, the roll comes in 50 meters. The company offers one of the best prices on the market - $3.5 per meter.

Using glitter in fashion and decor
Coated mesh is an original, light and airy material. It looks presentable and bright because it reflects light. And the unique decorative properties of glitter allow it to be used for a variety of tasks both independently and in the form of decorative inserts that complement the main fabric.

The material can be used to create a unique evening outfit, that Hollywood movie stars sparkle in at red carpets, receptions and awards shows. To make the look trendy, we suggest combining mesh with guipure, feathers, translucent fabrics, etc.
Dance and stage costumes are made of mesh. It can also be used to decorate women's and children's dresses, blouses, and skirts. The material is also useful for making various jewelry, hoops, and bags. Glitter can not only be sewn, but also glued, as is often done in decorating, creating bouquets and miniatures.
It also fits perfectly into the home environment. Bold designers even use it to decorate interior items. Sprayed mesh will look like tulle or a canopy. It is beautiful, practical, and does not require ironing.
