Tulle Wreath Tutorial

Its time to get Crafty and make a Tulle Wreath!  First we need to gather all our supplies. 

You'll need a wreath form.  I used a 10" one that I got from Hobby Lobby but you can use any size that you like.

 You'll also need Tulle and something to decorate your wreath with.  For a 10" wreath you will need at least three 12 yard spools. For a bigger wreath like the 14" Autumn wreath you'll need at least 5 spools. 

First you will need to cut your Tulle into 18" strips for the 10" wreath or 21" for the 14" wreath.

Then decide on your pattern and start tying the tulle on the wreath.  I tie mine on by folding the tulle in half and placing it over the wreath

Then wrap it around the wreath and pull the ends through the fold. 

Pull it tight and continue around the wreath.

Continue adding tulle until you fill your wreath to your desired fullness.

When your wreath is full pick your decoration and hot glue it on.

When it dries pick a spot, hang it up, stand back and admire your super cute and pretty easy tulle wreath!

Chevron

I have fallen in LOVE with all the gorgeous chevron fabrics that are so popular right now.  So when I was at Hobby Lobby looking for fabric to make valances and towels for the kitchen I kept coming back to the chevrons.  I finally settled on the yellow and cream since I wanted something bright and cheery!  So during nap on Sunday I cut them out and just got around to sewing them up yesterday. 

I think they turned out super cute and look just perfect in our window above the little herb garden.  Now hopefully tomorrow I can whip up the matching towels!  After that project I do believe I'll head back to Hobby Lobby and pick up the gray and cream chevron for our bedroom.  I'm thinking curtains, valances, a blanket and a few pillows.  All to match the gray paint that I picked out to paint our bedroom furniture :)
