Glitter pocket squares!

Please help! I can't find any glitter silver pocket squares for my nye wedding! I'd even do a DIY at this point... Any suggestions?

Pocket squares range from 10"x10" to 18"x18".  

You can get glitter fabric from Joann's (http://www.joann.com/casa-collection-glitter-satin-many-colors/zprd_09644709a.html OR http://www.joann.com/costume-glitter-satin/xprd757789.html)

Here is a blog that gives instructions on how to make them...CLICK

Thanks! Any suggestions for a beginner sewing machine? I've used them before in home ec but am interested in learning how to sew

I have a Singer.  Not sure exactly which one but it is pretty basic.  I think it can do up to 10 or so stitches.  I have only used it a few times and mainly for basic things like straight lines.  I am kind of sewing intolerant unless it is super super simple LOL!

I have been told by sewers I know that Singer is not so hot lately. They used to be awesome but their machines are not so great currently.  My sister has a Brother machine from their Project Runway-branded line and she really likes it.  I am planning to get a machine soon, and I am planning to get something similar to what she has.

Bernina is an amazing brand (my professional quilter grandmother uses Berninas), but I don't know what they have in the way of beginner/inexpensive lines of machines.  I haven't checked.

Are you entirely sure glitter pocket squares aren't too much?  And that the men won't hate them?  I hate glitter and I'm a girl, so I can't imagine how guys feel about it.

How about a muted, subtle metallic jacquard or subtle plaid with the color silver in it?  Or something with a subtle lurex thread?  Something gunmetal gray?  Or something solid and simple.

Thanks for the help! And I'm pretty sure about it. The bridesmaid are doing glittery sparkle silver dresses. It is NYE so it has to have a little more flash than usual. Also they have dark grey suits, so anything that is grey will just be washed out. I'm considering blue (since I'll have a royal blue dress) but haven't totally decided
