How to Make a Tulle Bow

How to Make a Tulle Bow for Gift Wrapping

My daughter’s best friend’s birthday is coming up and we decided to buy her…craft supplies, of course! We raided a few stores and bought a colorful floral plastic bin to keep everything inside.  This way, she would have her own storage bin separate from her three sisters. The plastic bin was beautiful in itself, so I didn’t want to cover it in wrapping paper.  I ended up making a tulle bow in her favorite color, purple.  Here is a quick tutorial on how to make a tulle bow.

You only need two things:

  • 6 inch wide tulle
  • Scissors

The plastic bin is so cute, right? No need to cover it up!

You can find spools of 6 inch by 10 yard rolls at any craft store.  We chose glitter tulle, which was probably a bad idea mess-wise. It’s pretty, but the glitter goes EVERYWHERE when you are tying your bow.

I started by wrapping the plastic bin with the tulle like a standard ribbon as shown. This was my first time attempting this so I played with the length.

Next fold the tool in layers. The length you use depends on the size of your bow.

 My layers were about ten inches long. I made layers of three (and four) and cut the ends to make three separate pieces.

Then repeat with another three layers.

Lastly, curve the ends of each layer as you wish; the beauty of tulle is that it is easy to maneuver and the shape will hold.
