If you make the gelatin with the disco dust in it - dry it into the sheet form, then get a punch the size you need to make the sequins, punch them out of the sheet - waalaaa - sequins!
what is the recipe for that? Just like for the bows? And when do you add disco dust? Where can I find disco dust?
jlynnw - yes, same recipe. Just pour it out onto a sheet (silpat works great for something like this) Let it dry - then punch away!
Disco dust - you can get it at most online cake stores. I know Diane has it at cake connection dot com (take out the spaces)

Thanks, I will have to order just about every single color! They are so pretty!
You should see my drawers of dusts here......yep, I think I have about every color - and some I have 2 of because I like them so much! My DH about died when he realized how much each of those little containers cost - he figured I have about $700. worth.

ha ha ha!! Lou, you're a gal after my own heart! 
And here I thought I cornered the market on that stuff! 
That is an interesting idea too - I have not worked with rice paper, would it dissolve if it gets too wet from the airbrushing? (and you can't use the disco/pixie type dusts in the airbrush) You would have to sprinkle them on after airbrushing, and while it its still wet......work fast.
BWB - I counted the jars, I have 180 in all. (that is a combo of all of them though - disco, luster, & petal) I will tell my DH that I am not alone!
I am heading there too, everyone time I order, My cake supply lady says, how much of these are you going to get, I said all of them, why are you complaining, are'nt you getting the business, and I don't even get a discount.
I guess when I think of sequins, I think more that they're shiny than sparkly. I can't remember Michael's glove specifically, but if it was white I would say you could do a mix of pearl dust/extract or alcohol on the rice paper with an airbrush and you'd get a sheen simular to a real sequin.
If his glove was silver, I know Albert Uster makes a really good silver dust that looks almost like chrome compared to regular Nu-silver luster dust. Same process as above - light airbrush of the dust mixed w/ alcohol or extract. I have both dusts and definitely see a difference. If you know Mike McCary, he uses the AU silver. That's how I learned about it.
Anyway, good luck and post pictures! I know we all want to see the end result!
If you mixed one of the americolor airbrush "sheen" colors into the gelatin while it is still in liquid form, that would give you the irridescent look of a sequin when the sheet is dry. I keep thinking of the sequins being small flexible plastic discs - and the gelatin would fit that bill perfectly. I have some here that I did for butterflies, and if they had been punched out instead of in the butterfly shape, they would be perfect sequins.
