Snowy Tulle Garland


Greetings Friends! Well Thanksgiving has passed and for many of us, that means we are full swing into Christmas decorations and the thriftier, the better! Today I'm sharing an easy garland I fashioned with dollar store tulle--no sewing required!

I found these circles and rolls of tulle at the dollar store for my Nutcracker Inspired Dress Form. I had some left over and envisioned draping it around some of my decorations for a snowy effect.  However on its own, it can be a challenge to hold its form, which means more is needed in order for it to show up.

I soon discovered a simple solution--a knotted garland.  I started by cutting long strips from the roll of tulle.  Mine were about 7 feet long, but you could cut them any length.  Next, I layered two of the circles and pinched them at the center to gather them.

Last, I wrapped the tulle strip around the pinched end of the circle and double knotted. That's it--just repeat until if you've achieved the desired effect.

  1. How easy and so very pretty! I love how it adds a little bit of whimsy to your decorations. I have been pretty crafty...I made a garland tree on the door, decorated a stocking for my daughter and SIL and am now working on a new nativity scene. Now I have to get busy and start decorating!

  2. Beautiful addition to your Christmas decorations. My favorite is the Christmas tree farm with the tulle to mimic fluffy snow. Looking forward to the Creative Christmas Link Party.

  4. Oh my gosh I l saw the rolls of tulle literally tonight at my Dollar Store! I thought to myself they would be great for crafts, just too tired to take on any more than I'm already doing! I tucked the idea away for a future project. You have used it beautifully in so many different ways:) xoKathleen
