Making a tulle wreath is probably one of the easiest DIYs you can attempt!
I decided to make one for my graduation weekend because I love having a wreath on my door for every major event in our lives.
Here's how it turned out:
And here's a step by step guide for how to create it! (Description of steps is down below)
First, you need to gather your supplies.
You just need a few things:
- A Wreath Form- I bought mine at Michael's for about $7.
- Ribbon- I suggest using white ribbon just because it looks the cleanest
- Tulle- I bought mine online at Amazon for pretty cheap. You can buy as many colors as you want
- Hot Glue Gun- This is for your ribbon and any other embellishments you decide to put on your wreath
- Embellishments-Go crazy! You can put anything you want on it!
After you've gathered your supplies, you can wrap the ribbon all the way around your wreath form. I did this mainly because I bought a green form and I had white tulle so I didn't want the green showing. If you buy a white foam wreath form, you may be able to skip this step.
Next, "measure" your tulle. I didn't use a ruler, although you certainly could. I just wrapped the tulle around and adjusted until I found the length I liked. After that, cut it.
I used 36 strips of each color, so I used 72 strips total for my wreath. If you want yours to be fuller, you'll definitely need to cut more strips. For the record, I bought bolts of 40ft of tulle and have some left over.
Next, just start tying around your wreath! I found that if I held the wreath between my legs and tied around the wreath form, it was easiest. I did three of each color, alternating as I went.
Next, lay it out and kind of fluff your tulle because some of it may be matted down. If the edges are uneven, get out some scissors and snip where you need to.
Finally, add your embellishments with your hot glue gun and it's ready to hang on your door!
See! I told you it was easy! It takes about 45min to an hour to complete. The absolute worst part is cutting your lengths of tulle.
What is YOUR tulle wreath going to look like? I'd love to see pics!

First of all, congratulations -- what an amazing accomplishment! I really like your wreath, the blue and white would be perfect for a basketball wreath for the University of Kentucky. Hmmmm, might have to make me one!
How simple is this?! Great tutorial, Paige! I love tulle and can't wait to try making one of my own!
