DIY Tulle and Light Wreath

So many people out there these days want to decorate for holidays and weddings with DIY projects instead of spending huge amounts of money on decorations. There are so many tutorials out there now that will help you decorate for almost any occasion. We thought we might share one of our favorites with you, a light and tulle wreath. It is so simple and fun to make. Plus, anyone that has ever done a craft probably has most of the supplies just laying around the house.

Materials:

1 X 12" Foam Wreath

Tulle (color of your choice)

Matching Ribbon

Battery Operated LED Lights

Start out with wrapping the entire wreath with ribbon. Be sure to secure both ends with ever a straight pin or glue. The ribbon should match your tulle. But if you wanted to do a Christmas one, red and green ribbon would work great. The same goes for any holiday color scheme or wedding decor. Just keep it fun and festive, for whatever the occasion. 

Next, wrap your fairy lights around the wreath. Try to be sure that your LED bulbs are evenly spaced, you don't want to have them all bunched in one place or another. Also be sure to keep the battery pack in the back of the wreath. That way when you display it, it won't be seen. 

Now it is time to get out your tulle. You will want it in strips about 18" X 4". After you have cut plenty of strips that you believe will cover the whole wreath, you can start tying it on. All you have to do is tie it on making a double knot in the front. Remember the more strips you use, the fluffier your wreath is going to be. While tying on the strips of tulle, cut a couple of strips that are a bit longer so that you can tie them around the battery pack on the back of the wreath to secure it. 

It's time to display your creation. Cut a piece of coordinating ribbon (long enough to hang the wreath) and tie it around your wreath, making a bow so that you can hang it. Then all that is left is to turn on the battery pack. Sit back back and admire your project.

There you have it, a fun, festive and inexpensive DIY project that will work for all occasions. Get out your crafting supplies and try it out! Have fun and enjoy!
