What you need:

50 yards of Tulle, the color of your choice (this will yield about 20 tulle poofs)

Rhinestone Stickers (8-12 per tulle poof) or thin wire

Wire Cutters

1 piece of scrap cardboard

Fishing line or ribbon

Scissors

Directions:

1. To make 1 poof, cut the tulle into 2 1/2″ long pieces.

2. Cut your cardboard into a 4″ x 6″ piece and wrap your length of tullewidth-wise around the cardboard until you reach the end. Then pull the tulle away from the cardboard without disturbing the shape.

3. Then take a piece of string or wire and tie it around the bundle of tulleto create a a bow-like shape.

4. Use the scissors and carefully cut each tulle bow end.

5. Proceed to make it into a “poof” by pulling the layers towards the center of the bow. This is where you fluff and shape it until it’s a nice symmetrical round poof. Some additional trimming may be necessary.

6. Randomly squeeze your rhinestones into place until they stick (glue can also be used).

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until you have the desired amount of tulle bows.

4 pieces of tulle netting cut into 1/2 yard strips

1 colorful ribbon

14 inches long.

2. Tie the ribbon around the doll or stuffed animal (just above the waistline).

3. Fold a strip of tulle (start with color #1) in half.

4. Take the folded edge of the tulle and pull it under the ribbon that’s tied around the waistline making a loop. Finish by pulling both ends of the tulle through the loop you just made.

5. Keep repeating this process using alternating colors until the entire waistline is covered with tulle (keep in ming that you need to evenly space each one).

6. (Optional) Final touch could be to tie a piece of tulle around the head to resemble a tulle headband to tie the ensemble together.

Tulle Plant Base

What you need:

1 to 2 inches of ribbon

1 to 2 yards of tulle for every plant and tree

Directions:
1. Place the base of the plant or tree in the center of your piece of tulle

Remember when decorating that you should do so in threes, unless your doing something very symmetry driven (think lining each side of a staircase). Also, keep in mind of your surroundings to strategically cover up eye-sores such a utility box or light switch. Think and plan ahead then decorate, the decor will be much better and very little time will be wasted.

Stay tuned for more tulle wedding decorating ideas and tutorials to come to help you bring sophistication and elegance to any setting.

What you need:

- Tulle (cut for length you desire)

- A sewing needle

- some sewing thread (color explained below)

- fabric glue

- fabric scissors

- hair comb

*You may also want to include some satin or cord for edging the veil, some embellishments such as sequins, and most likely a tiara or headband

It’s highly suggested that you bring a swatch of your wedding dress material that you intend to match with you. This will help ensure that both the tulle wedding veil that you’re about to make as well as your sewing thread will match perfectly with the rest of your tulle wedding dress. Keep in mind that you can never go off of the fabric name alone as most manufacturers shades of colors are all slightly different than one another.

Another helpful hint went shopping for discount tulle to make your first tulle wedding veil is to buy more than you need. You just never know when something may go wrong and you need to start over…practice makes perfect anyhow. After your tulle wedding veil project is complete, let’s just hope that it’s the last one you ever have to make if you know what I’m saying.

Step 1:

To create a single layer wedding veil, first gauge the length that you want the tulle wedding veil to be. Average length is between 25 and 30 inches, which will bring the veil to about the elbow area when sitting upright. *In wedding veils of more than one layer, the top layer is typically elbow length.

Standard veil lengths are as follows

- Shoulder 24 inches

- Elbow 30 inches

- Fingertip 40 inches

- Ballet/Waltz 52 inches

- Chapel 90 inches

- Cathedral 110 inches

So begin by using fabric scissors to cut the desired veil length you want.

Step 2:

Fold the tulle in half, length-wise and cut the bottom of the tulle so that you form a large “U” shape when it’s unfolded. This is done to help ensure that the shape at the bottom of the veil is a symmetrical shape. This is also the step where embellishments, if being used, should be incorporated onto the veil. Using either glue for rhinestones or sewing on sequins and what not.

Step 3:

Proceed to unfold the tulle and iron out any unsightly creases that are visible using a iron on extremely low heat. Then thread a needle with button thread, the extra strength of the button thread will help to hold and gather the tulle and sew it onto a comb. Next, you want to use a whip stitch technique to run some thread along the top edge of the tulle veil. Ease the tulle along by pushing it against the thread to assist in gathering it all up. Next, tie a knot to secure the tulle so that it is about three inches wide at the top, or the same width as the comb to which it will be all be attached to.

Step 4:

Using some more button thread, sew the gathered veil to a comb. A metal comb is preferred at this point since it has a lower profile and grips the hair better than plastic combs do.

Step 5:

After attaching the veil to the bridal loops, it is now ready to be attached to the hair using bobby pins or hair pins. You can also attach it directly to a tiara with snaps, or with velcro if the tiara is wide enough. Thin strips of velcro are sewn onto the tiara. This will allow the bride to wear the tiara during the reception and easily remove the veil at the same time.

A great and easy addition to any wedding or event is the use of favors. Wedding favors are small ‘thank you’ souvenirs given out by the bride and groom to any guest who attends their wedding. These are often overlooked by party decorators and planners in my opinion since most tend to focus on the larger pieces of an event. However the most appreciated and best valued items are usually the smallest and most personalized. This is why I am here today…to help you go over some of the finer details that really help make or break a wedding…so to speak.

In this case were talking about tulle circles and the many things you can do with them to spruce up any wedding and wedding reception. These literally cost pennies to make and require little to no skill, depending on who you are. A previous post I wrote about tulle votive favors opened the doors to talk more about the use of favors at such elegant events.

One great idea that I’ve seen done on numerous occasions is using tulle circles to make champagne glass favors. This is where you take a champagne glass, fill it with candy/rice/decorative jewels/special note, and wrap the glass from the top towards the bottom with a tulle circle. Just make sure that the tulle circle is large enough in diameter that it completely covers the glass and maintains enough slack to tie the stem of the glass with a ribbon of some sort. Another nice touch to a piece like this is adding some decorative rose buds or lavender inside the glass to give the favor a more intimate feel.

Another fantastic use of tulle circles is to use them as a pouch for rice that will thrown at the wedding. Just pre-make the tulle circle into a pouch with an opening at the top and place a small handful of rice into the opening then tie a ribbon around the top. I also suggest attaching attaching a hand-written gift card if times permits to each one. This can easily fasten to the favor with an elastic band of some kind.

Finally…I save the easiest for last. Simple place large some large tulle circle under a place setting for dinner or under a vase for some added depth. There is nothing than a lonely looking table, so take some time to fix it up as inexpensively as you know how. Who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to incorporate some of the ideas I shared with you today at your wedding.

Gift Basket Wrapped in Tulle

Go the extra mile and show that special someone you really care by putting in some extra time and wrapping it in tulle. At one point in time we’ve all wanted to try it, so now here’s your chance with the one fabric that makes everything better.

Follow along with these steps and watch your masterpiece come to life.

What you need:

- 1 wide roll of tulle (nylon tulle, silk tulle, or shimmery tulle can be used)

- scissors

- transparent tape

- and of course a gift basket for that special someone

Step 1:

Find a flat surfaced table and unroll the tulle from your body outwards, making sure that it doesn’t fall off the table though. Now place your basket  directly in the center of the unrolled tulle to get the right size. Do so by pulling one end of the tulle above the handle of the basket (because that’s the highest point) then center the gift basket on the tulle. Next you want to bring the other end of the tulle up to same height as the other one that you’re currently holding. Once both ends of the tulle are to a satisfactory length then cut the one end of the tulle from the roll.

Step 2:

Begin to gather all of the fabric at the very top of the basket or the handle and pull it very snug so that it fits completely around the basket.

Step 3:

Now put some transparent tape around the gathered tulle to help hold it in place. Now do sort of semi-hem of the tulle and seal it with some tape so you can then pull the back piece of the tulle towards the front of the basket and pull the front piece of the tulle towards the back of the basket. Tape both of these to the side of the basket. This is to give the packaging a nice and neat finish along the handle of the basket.

Step 4:

Place a bow at the very top along with some other garnishings such as flowers or something.
