The first project on my list is tulle pom poms. Last year I made the tissue paper ones, but this year I wanted something new. These look a lot harder to make than they actually are. I followed this tuturial and it was super easy to follow. I did a small one first, like the one on her site. But I wanted BIG ones to hang, so I cut the template out of a cardboard box and made it about 10" in diameter. You want to keep the center hole on the small side, as I learned.
I doubled my tulle and worked with about 6 yards at a time and wrapped it until it was all covered. It may take a few times to get it down. After doing three of them, I can do them quickly now. These can be made using different methods, but I am pretty happy with this way. Using the two cardboard pieces keeps everything round and in place.
I will be using mine to hang over the food tables and hanging from trees in the backyard at Olivia's 2nd birthday. :) After using them, they would be so cute hanging in her room or you could easily re-use them.
I will post more pictures of this when my pink and blue tulle arrives this week. :)
Hey I am a new follower would you be so kind & follow me back, thanks :)
