Glittered Tulle

I've been trying to come up with some ideas on what to make with all of this glittered tulle I've recently acquired. The bulk of it is in a huge box in my garage.
 
This tulle has one finished edge, I think it was intended to be used as little skirts on plush teddy bears.... I took it knowing that I could find something to make with it. Hmmm I think this is how hoarding starts. *sigh* Anywho~ I cut off strips of about 24 inches and hand cut the finished edge off of the one side, wrapped the long piece of tulle around my fingers and created a pom-pom. I tied it together using some thin ribbon and then I hot glued an old vintage earring to the centers. I added a hair clip and some felt to the backside to create...
hair bows!
*Takes a bow*  Yes, yes... a little garish--- but they look so cute plopped on the head of a little kid. Yep, I've got some mad skills, mad skills....
I've got yards and yards... and yards of this beautiful tulle. I'm thinking of making some pom-pom garlands, that would be adorable. Must jot that idea down on my to do list!
big hugs,
Cheryl

  4. Every time I visit I am just amazed by your creativity, these are just the cutest ever, and your garland idea sounds good too! I am like you if I am given something or find something real cheap that I think I could use I have to take it, that is why my craft room looks like a tornado has come through, LOL!

  5. I would so have picked up that marvelous glitter netting! The bows are adorable. I love the idea of decorating an entire Christmas tree with them as Rebecca posted above would be gorgeous.
