What You Need to Make a Tulle Bow

Instead of the kind used to make kitchen sink scrubbers, I use delicate tulle. The best kind is on the roll for super ease and speed, but feel free to use scrap or bolt tulle and cut to approximately 6″ wide by 36″ long for a big poofy tulle bow!
Use a pre-covered clip, as I did, or a vintage one you can find in the bathroom drawer, or even a bobby pin, to fasten the hair.
Cardboard wrapping frame – cut to approximately 5″ wide that you’ll use to wrap tulle around.
Scissors
Glue gun and glue sticks

How to Make a Tulle Bow?

Cut the Tulle Pieces

Cut two pieces of tulle from your 6″ wide spool.

One piece should be 1 ½ yards long, (it can vary, depending on how transparent you want your bows to be.)
And one just half a yard long – this is to tie off your tulle bow

Wrap the Long Piece

Fold the long piece in half lengthwise so the strip width is no longer 6″ (now it’s 3″ only) and place one end between your palm and your thumb, like this:

Start by wrapping the tulle around your hand; I find it helps the tulle bow to be a bit larger if my fingers are kept apart while doing this. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the tulles. That will circle your hand somewhere between 11 and 14 times.

Add the Small Tulle Piece and the Ponytail Tie

Next, take hold of the centerpiece and fold it in an accordion style before pinching it shut. Thus, a bow shape results. Put a ponytail tie on after wrapping the small piece of tule around the center of the gathered fabric. Tulle attached to the bow’s back should be double-knotted.

Then, after wrapping it around the pleated center a few times, tie it off at the back.

Done, enjoy!
