SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW; SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING TULLE






If you aren’t familiar with the fabric tulle, then you should take the time to become familiar with it so you can take advantage of what it has to offer in the way of fashion and decoration. Tulle is a lightweight, netting fabric used for wedding veils, dresses, tutus, and the like. The best part about tulle is how inexpensive it is. Depending on the type of fiber the tulle consists of (silk, nylon, and rayon), you can get a 40 yard spool for just under $ 15.00.

Weddings are a great example of the versatility of tulle. The majority of women’s wedding attire will have a certain amount of tulle. Sometimes it’s the top layer of the dress skirt, while other times it is used in the wedding veil. Using tulle does not have to end with the wedding attire though. Tulle can be used for all types of decorations for your special day. It can be used on chairs, on pews, in the bride’s bouquet, mixed in with the centerpieces, and it can even be added on the wedding cake for that special touch.
 

Tulle comes in many different colors and styles and designs, including polka dots and shimmer. You can simply use tulle from the spool or you can add a little something extra by using lights, rhinestones or flowers. With tulle, the possibilities are endless. The link below can help make these possibilities a reality. Just follow the link; if you see something you like, find a video that shows you how to make it. Everything created using tulle is fairly straightforward and simple.
