How to Make a Wreath Centerpiece Out of Tulle

Tulle does not fray when cut, like other fabrics do.

A wreath centerpiece can add flair to a table. Make your own with inexpensive tulle fabric, decorative accessories and a few common crafting supplies. Tulle is a versatile material that can be manipulated easily for use in several types of decorative crafts. Use your choice of tulle colors to create a layered wreath centerpiece for a holiday dinner table or as a more permanent accent to your everyday decor.

Things You'll Need

• Tulle
• Scissors or pinking shears
• Monofilament line
• Sewing needle
• Round mirror or serving tray
• Pillar candles or other decorative objects

Instructions

1. Cut strips of tulle 2 inches wide with straight scissors or pinking shears for a zigzag edge. Cut these strips from an entire yard of tulle. The strip length does not matter, as several strips will come together to form the wreath, with the edges of each length invisible when they blend with each other.

2. Thread a sewing needle with an 18-inch section of monofilament line and knot the end.

3. Insert the needle into the end of one of the tulle strips.

4. Gather the tulle 2 inches from the insertion and fold the strip over the needle. Move another 2 inches along the strip and fold it over the needle. Continue folding the material over the needle until you reach the end of the strip.

5. Repeat the process for all of your strips or until the monofilament line has only 1 inch left uncovered by tulle.

6. Tie the uncovered end of line around the knotted end. Secure it with a knot. The wreath may be misshapen at this point; fluff the tulle to shape it into a circle.

7. Place the tulle wreath over a round mirror or a decorative serving tray at the center of the table. Place pillar candles or another object, such as a vase or figurine, in the center of the wreath.
