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!

Colorful Fall

     I'm not sure why but I have been in love with all things Fall recently.  Maybe its the fact that school has started or that the temperatures here in Oklahoma have started to drop (it no longer hits 100 every day).  Or maybe it could be because of my new love affair with all things Pinterest.  I had alot of free time while we were in the guest house waiting for our house to be ready and I spent much of it pinning all the wonderful things I wanted to do for our new home.  One of those things was a super cute wreath for our front door.  I put it together today and I just love the way it turned out!  I wanted something that would work from now through Thanksgiving and I think this just hits the mark.

It was so simple to make and it really pops on our front door, please excuse the dents and sratches that's Army housing for you.  There are only three supplies needed and they are all available at my favorite store, Hobby Lobby.  To make one of your own you'll need: Tulle, I used five different colors but you can do any combo that you like.  A wreath form and something to decorate it with, I went with coordinating flowers.  Just cut the tulle to length (21") and tie it on the wreath form and then add your decorations when you are done. I'll try to get a tutorial with in depth instructions and step by step pictures up in the next couple of weeks, I think a winter wreath is now on my to do list!
