Tulle Christmas Wreath - It's so FLUFFY!!!

**Link party can be found below!**

Gosh, I just Love Christmas time! I must say that I am a little sad this year though. Since the hubby and I are buying our first home, there is really no point to drag out every last Christmas decoration just to pack it up again in a few weeks. But, I did decide to pull out a few things and make a new Christmas wreath! I just couldn't wait another whole year to decorate!

My Christmas Tulle Wreath!
Want to make your own? It's easy!

Materials
1. Green small foam floral wreath
2. Green, red & white tulle - 1 and 1/2 yards each
3. Gold ribbon
4. Christmas wreath picks
5. Christmas ornament
6. Hot glue

  • To start your Christmas tulle wreath, you will need to cut your tulle into strips. Have someone help you by holding the tulle, it makes it way easier to cut! Double the tulle and cut into long strips.
  • Cut each strip four more times so that you will have four equal strips. Each tulle tie is four tulle strips stacked and then tied around the foam wreath.
  • Create your own pattern and begin to tie your tulle strips until you complete the wreath. I added in gold ribbon for some texture and pops of gold.
  • Once you have used all of your tulle, add on your Christmas picks by hot gluing them to the tulle. I found mine in the Christmas isle at Hobby Lobby, your options are endless!
  • When you are satisfied with your pick placement, glue on your ornament. I also found this at Hobby Lobby, love that store! If you find it difficult to glue your ornament to the picks, wrap a left over piece of tulle around the picks (where you are going to glue the ornament), tie it on the back side of the wreath and then glue the ornament to the tulle. I found this to be the best way to get the ornament to stay!

Pretty easy right? I will admit that it is very time consuming, but so worth it! Here are a few more shots of my finished product. Enjoy!

  9. Great tutorial. I really like how you used the tulle--something I would not have thought of myself. And the reindeer is beautiful.

  22. I really like the contrast of the very 'manicured' look of the center part against the fluffy, airy nature of 'tulle unleashed'!

  33. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
