How To Make a Tulle Wreath for Valentine’s Day (or Any Occasion)

By 156 Comments

The reason I’m sharing how to make a tulle wreath starts with love.

My boyfriend and I say the “I love you, I love you more” thing all the time, which is weird because romance and gooey sap like that makes me retch. Yet, somehow I still find myself uttering that fluffy “I love you more” crap. Disgusting.

So anyhow, I found this adorable sappy art the other day for 60% off at Kohl’s and my lovesick(ening) self had to have it.

While it’s perfectly cute on its own, I decided it would also look cute as the centerpiece of a wreath. I had seen the wreath idea on Michael’s website over the holidays, but I didn’t like what they did with the center, so when I found my art, I knew I’d solved that problem.

I love how it came out!

And now I’ll stop rambling and show you how to make a tulle wreath for Valentine’s Day or for any other occasion.

I’m using pink, white and red for my colors, but you can choose your colors based on any season, theme or holiday that works for you.

How To Make a Tulle Wreath

What You’ll Need:

12-inch styrofoam wreath (white is best, but if you can only find green, that’s ok)

3-4 (6-inch x 25-ft) rolls of tulle in the colors of your choice

Optional: Ornament or art to hang in center of wreath (mine is a 6 x 6-inch square and fits perfectly)

Scissors

Measuring tape or yardstick

Directions:

1. Cut (20-inch) strips of tulle in each color. If using 3 colors, you’ll need about 60 strips of each. If using 4 colors, you’ll need about 45 of each.

2. Take two pieces of tulle and make a lark’s head knot around the styrofoam circle, pulling tight with loose ends on outside of wreath.

3. Alternate colors and work your way around the wreath filling it in completely. You’ll need to squish the tulle strips together as you go to make sure it’s filled in tightly. The colors will overlap, and that’s good– it looks pretty that way!

Tip: Since it takes less than an hour to put together, you could remove the tulle strips and replace them seasonally with other color combinations and use the same wreath. I tried it, and it went super fast, so I’m going to keep doing it!

4. When the tulle is in place, hang a pretty ornament, photo or anything else you’d like in the middle, and hang on display. (My 6″x 6″ square art fits in the center perfectly and doesn’t need adhesive of any kind to stay put.)

  1. Hi! I found your post at The Scoop linkup party. I have a bunch of tulle, so I may try this wreath. I also have some pool noodles that I might try instead of the styrofoam wreath form. The pink one would work!

  12. Popping over from Treasure Box Tuesday =) Huge fan of tulle wreaths. My mom made one for a child in our family and hung her age in the center. Each year she sends her the next number to hang for her birthday. Be sure to share your crafts & DIYs at Two Uses Tuesday (Mon 11pm EST to Fri 11pm EST) over at Sarah Celebrates if you don’t already!

  25. That looks so much easier than the thing I attempted to make last Christmas (that did not make it up again this year) I might actually have to give this a try 🙂
    THANKS

  26. What a beautiful tulle wreath! I love the color combinations you used and the center piece really pops. I think it’s sweet that you added a phrase you share with you boyfriend.

  34. My husband and I are kind of sappy too. 🙂 He is more romantic than me, though. I love your tulle wreath and just might give it a try myself.

  50. That’s a really cool art find, and I love how it ties into the ‘mushiness’ (lol) that you share with your sweetie. I can’t help it, every time I see a tulle wreath, it makes me want to wear it was a tutu.

  51. Love how it turned out, too! Those are cute little rolls of tulle. I can only seem to find them on the larger bolts. Those are much handier for projects like this. … and the lovey dovey stuff isn’t so bad, if you are in love. 😉

  62. That is a really pretty wreath. I doubt I would have the patience needed to make it but if someone were to hand it to me I would be proud to hang it on my door!

  63. My goodness, this looks so beautiful. The colors are just awesome & mind blowing. I never thought this could be done so easily. A great wreath for Valentine’s day for sure.

  64. That’s beautiful! You must have had such patience to make that. Now I seriously want to make one. I tried to make a tutu before for Disney Halloween party – but this is so much better!

  70. Hubby and I say I love you to each other many times a day. One time, I answered I love you more and he laughed and said, is this a contest? LOL. Anyway, that is so cute and neat. Love how easy it is to make. I may check Joanns this weekend. 🙂

  72. Oh my gosh, I love that! I’ve always wanted to make something with tulle but I wasn’t really sure what to do with it (other than a tutu). I think I’m gonna let the girls make one of these.

  75. I loved how the wreathe came out to be. Truly, this piece reflects your creativity! I somewhat figure that the wreathe is a ballerina in its past life. Kidding. 🙂

  76. I’m not much into crafts but this looks pretty and pretty simple. Can you give me an idea what the cost of making a wreath like this would be, in case I wanted to buy supplies to have a group make them? Thanks.

  106. Wow! I absolutely love this. That is so very pretty! I may just have to do this one! I think it would look gorgeous silver and black, or silver and gold or silver, gold and black for an everyday wreath too! Ohhh this could be great!

  111. Oh my, these look so beautiful. You did a great job. I’m not sure I could do such a nice job as you did. I’m sure going to try though. Thank you for sharing.

  120. Omg how adorable, that tulle wreath! Unfortunately (though I’m not sure I’d like it even if we were like that) we’re not a mushy couple haha.

    • I’m loving the trend to use tulle for tutus, wreaths, and just about everything lately. It’s feminine, but not too much!

  131. I love this! Such a great idea to create the wreath around the wall hanging. I love the it and you did an awesome job. I didn’t realize how easy one of those wreaths would be. That’s something my girls could have fun helping me make. Thanks!

  134. This is such a cool D-I-Y … I’m definitely gonna try it! Any alternatives for the styrofoam wreath? I doubt I’ll find that in Jamaica

  145. Bahahaha, romance does make the least romantic of us a bit sappy at times, I hear ya!! 🙂 Your wreath did come out nice. I like how easy it was to make!!

    • I am the girly-girl who loves all things pink, too! I could totally picture one of these on my front door!
