I love trying my hand at new things and, when I have the time, I love to have a go at crafts.
With my parents 60th Birthday party looming on the horizon, I have been trying to find cheap and pretty ways to decorate the hall they’ve hired.
The Tulle Pom-Poms are just the job for making an impact and on the cheap!
I intend to hang them from string which will be draped from one side of the hall to the other.
So, here you go, a ‘HOW TO’ tutorial for Tulle Pom-Poms…
You will need…
– A spool of Tulle in the colour of your choice
(6 inch wide Tulle is what I used and it normally comes on a 100 yard long roll – I got mine off eBay)
– Scissors
– Some hard back books of varying sizes
How to do it…
– Measure out 50cm of tulle and cut it. This will tie the pom-pom and hold it together, as well as acting as a hanger/tie so you can hang your Pom-Poms up.
– Pick up your book and wrap the tulle around it 25 times (do this long ways on the book, not horizontally)
– After you’ve wrapped the material around 25 times, cut the Tulle off the spool so it is free from it and carefully remove the wrapped Tulle from the book.
– Pick up your 50cm piece of Tulle and use it to tie the wrapped Tulle in the middle. I did 2 knots to make sure it was secure. It should now look like a bow…
– Push your hand through the first looped end of Tulle and, using your scissors, cut it so the ends splay out.
– Repeat for the other end.
– Now unfurl the tulle and tease it out so that it makes a nice ball shape.
And there you have it! Tulle Pom-Pom decorations, fit for any wedding or party!
You can view my video below (filmed by my 7 year old!) to see how I did it…
