Materials you will need:
- Tulle fabric in various colors
- Scissors
- Floral wire or pipe cleaners
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Ruler or measuring tape
Step 1: Prepare your tulle
Start by cutting your tulle fabric into small squares. The size of the squares will determine the final size of your tulle flowers, so choose accordingly. If you want larger flowers, cut larger squares, and vice versa.
Step 2: Fold and cut the tulle squares
Take a tulle square and fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle. Then, fold the triangle in half again to form a smaller triangle. With the pointed end of the triangle facing you, use your scissors to round out the edges of the triangle, creating a petal-like shape. Repeat this step for all your tulle squares.
Step 3: Assemble the flower
Once you have all your tulle petals ready, it’s time to assemble the flower. Take one tulle petal and place a small dot of hot glue near the pointed end. Attach the petal to the end of a floral wire or pipe cleaner, pressing gently to secure it in place. Repeat this step for each tulle petal, slightly overlapping them as you go to create a layered effect.
Step 4: Finishing touches
After attaching all the tulle petals, you can add some finishing touches to your tulle flower. Cut a small strip of tulle fabric in a contrasting color and wrap it around the base of the flower, covering the wire or pipe cleaner. Secure it with a small dot of hot glue. You can also trim the edges of the petals to create a more polished look.
