I’ll admit it: The only times I have ever bought rolls of tulle, it’s been for wedding decorations. I know it has a zillion more uses, but somehow in my mind it had been pigeonholed into that singular, stereotypical application. Then along came the ladies from eighteen25 with an idea that is great for any festive occasion! Using a simple pom pom making technique, they fashioned the meshy fabric into a string of fluffy little balls that will look equally great on their own as mixed in with streamers or other types of garland. Holidays, birthdays, baby showers… I’ll never look at tulle in such a limited way again! [how to make a tulle pom pom garland]
Project estimate:
- Tulle, $1
- String, on hand or $1
- Cardboard, on hand
Total: $1 and up

Dollar Tree carries it in the wedding section: http://m.dollartree.com/mt/www.dollartree.com/party-supplies/wedding-bridal/Wedding-Tulle-Ribbon-White/787c789c789p69950/index.pro
BUT their rolls only have 8 yards. It’s actually cheaper per yard to buy the 25-yard rolls from Consumer Crafts for about $2.50, and they offer a lot more colors: http://www.consumercrafts.com/store/search?s=Tulle%20netting&p=1&ps=20
