Elegant Black Tulle Wreath

1. For full instructions on how to make a tulle wreath, see this previous blog post.

2. Apparently I didn't take a well-styled final picture. :(

 

 

I started with a large wire wreath form and wrapped it in black satin ribbon.

 

 

Then I cut lengths of black tulle and black glitter tulle by wrapping it around a book that I deemed the correct size and cutting both ends.

 

 

Then while watching a movie, I tied them on, alternating the regular and glitter tulle and pushing the tied pieces together occasionally.

 

 

Then I added embellishments.  I added a black feathered hair clip.  Then I hot glued on a the big round sparkly piece, which I found at Hobby Lobby.  Then I went shopping at an antique store to find the smaller brooch and pinned it on.  I experimented with adding peacock colored feathers, but decided to keep it simple, elegant black and bling.

 

Then at Christmas, the wreath went to a home with my sister Jordan!

Tulle Wreath

For this Project you'll need:

wire wreath form

strips of coordinating fabric or ribbon

2 spools of tulle

feather hair clip

jewel for the center

scissors

hot glue gun/glue

 

Step 1:

Wrap the wire form with your fabric or ribbon.

 

 Step 2: 

Cut the tulle into 8.5-11 inch strips (depending on how full you want the wreath to look.  This one, I used about 9 in. strips) and tie them, all the way around the wreath, with the tie at the outer edge of the wreath. 

 

Step 3:

Add embellishments.  I clipped my feather to the tulle and hot glued a jewel in the center.

 

Step 4:

Hang and enjoy!
