How to Make Your Own Wedding Tulle Net Sachet Bag
Tulle sachet bags are tremendously popular wedding items. They are perfect for wrapping bridal party gifts, guest take home gifts, treats, and even petals or rice for guests to throw. Making your own is a simple, inexpensive way to get exactly what you want. Use this basic, no-sew technique to make sachets. You can glue ribbon to the edges of the sachets for a pretty contrast. For a more finished look, sew a hem around the edge of the tulle or sew a ribbon to the edge.

Tips & Warnings
Household objects, such as plates, jars and cigar boxes make good patterns for circles and squares. Make sure they are clean, lay them on the tulle and cut out around them.
To make two or more circles or squares at a time, fold the fabric into multiple layers.
Added embellishments to the tulle netting either the inside or the outside of the finished sachet. However, keep in mind what is going inside the sachet, as some items can get caught and damaged by the embellishments.
If you wish to create a permanent bag out of the tulle, sew up all but one edge. Gather and tie shut the open edge, or lace a ribbon through it to create a drawstring opening.
