I was looking on the internet for outdoor wedding decorations and i came across this. Its so Cute and Simple. I think it might be easier to make these, than it is to make the tisse paper pomanders.
Things you need: Tulle (your choice of color) (one 25 yard spool will make about 10 poofs) Thin Wire or Thin String Rhinestone Stickers (10-12 per poof) A Scrap Piece of Cardboard Fishing Line or Ribbon (of your choice) Scissors Wire Cutters
Things to do: 1. Take your tulle and cut 2-1/2? yards pieces to make one poof.
2. Cut out a 4? x 6? piece of cardboard and wrap your length of tulle width wise until you reach the end of your tulle piece. Then carefully pull your tulle off of the cardboard.
3. Once your tulle is off of the cardboard, take a small piece of wire or string and tie around the center of the tulle bundle to create a bow like shape. Take your scissors and carefully cut each tulle bow end.
4. To make your tulle into a poof, start pulling the layers towards the center of the tulle bow. Fluff and shape as desired. So that you create a perfectly round poof you may need to trim any pieces that may be too long.
5. Once you have created your little poof, stick on your rhinestones randomly. You may need to give them a good squeeze to be sure that they stay on or even add a small dab of glue before placing them on.
6. Repeat this process until you have created the amount of poofs you need.
To hang individual poofs: To hang your poofs individually, slip a length of fishing wire (this is used so that you dont see the string as much) through the center of the poof (the wire that we tied around the center of the tulle in step 3) and then hang. You can also try ribbon to hang your poofs if you so desire.
To make a garland: To create a garland, just slip the fishing wire (or again you may want to try string ribbon) through like you do for the individual poofs but keep string the poofs a long the line. (With two spools of tulle, you can create a garland about 4-1/2 feet long.)
luv these, I may steal this as well! its a toss up between these and lit flowers suspended from the ceiling if our venue will allow such foolishness. lol
Thanks!
