Where to wear a tulle skirt
Girls who decide to add such an extraordinary item to their wardrobe probably ask themselves the question: “Where to wear a tulle skirt?” Of course, a luxurious full skirt can become the highlight of a festive look, which is why it is often worn at proms, weddings, corporate events, club parties, and bachelorette parties.
Tulle skirts are ideal for photo shoots. There is a widespread trend when mothers and daughters come to the holiday in identical skirts. A huge number of wedding models are made on the basis of a tutu skirt. However, this does not mean that shopinka cannot be used in everyday life. The advantage of this skirt is that it easily fits into any style, including sports, and the selection of companion items and shoes for it does not become a problem.
Preparations before creation
Before you start making tulle crafts, you need to lay out all the components on the table to preserve the coating and prevent the penetration of adhesive liquid, you can use polyethylene. Having prepared the workplace and sitting comfortably, you should initially create the petals of the bow, cut out squares of fabric in the amount of 25 pieces, and form blanks; for this, two geometric shapes are superimposed on one another.
Tulle and satin fabric
Instructions:
- Draw a flower with 8 petals on a piece of paper, as in picture 1.
- Place satin and tulle together in several layers.
- Attach the paper blank to the layers of fabric with a pin and cut out the parts.
- Fold the tulle and satin fabric in pairs (picture 2).
- Take one pair and roll it three times (picture 3).
- Cut out a circle of fleece and glue all the blanks onto it on top of each other (picture 4).
- Wrap the last piece several times and glue it inside the flower (picture 5).
Now all that remains is to place the finished fleece flower on the headband or elastic band.
Further manipulations
The resulting base for the tulle hairpin must be bent so that the corner of the first layer intersects with the second. Now the uppermost tip is visually determined, from which the workpiece begins to be folded three times. Thanks to the video master classes, you can consider in detail all the unclear points and identify your mistakes and shortcomings, if any.
At the next stage, the structure is bent again, as a result of such manipulations, a multilayer triangular petal should be formed. It is important to ensure that all components made in its likeness do not differ from each other.
Shopenka skirt
The same “sun” skirt made of several layers. Each layer is a circle with a hole in the waist area. The radius of the waist circumference is calculated using the formula.
For a regular circle skirt without gathering at the waist (with a belt and zipper), this formula is: waist circumference multiplied by 0.32. A circle is drawn, and the length is evenly laid down from the waist line.
If you make a tulle circle skirt without gathering, the layers will simply fold into one another and there is a risk of getting an ordinary model of moderate volume.
To prevent this from happening:
Firstly, it needs gathering at the waist. The formula for calculating the small radius (radius of the waist circumference) will change slightly. If you are planning a model not with a zipper, but with an elastic band, you should take as a basis not From (waist circumference), but About (hip circumference). The hip circumference is first multiplied by the coefficient (thickness) of the fit - at least 1.5. We multiply the resulting result by 0.32.

Secondly, it’s better to alternate layers. "Sun" - rectangle - "sun" - rectangle.
In order not to make mistakes in the calculations, it is better for a beginning craftswoman to make a paper pattern of two panels of a “sun” skirt. It's a little troublesome, but it's clear. Then, keeping in mind the width of the fabric from which the product will be sewn and the existing patterns, you can lay out the patterns on the floor and simply measure how much fabric is needed for one layer.
Tulle jewelry
It will gain even greater beauty if you carefully stick a rhinestone on the sharp tip; for convenience, it is better to use tweezers. Any excess smudges that have formed while the liquid has not hardened should be removed with a swab or small flap.
Similar manipulations are carried out with the next prepared squares; there is no need to rush, quality work done will lead to a neat appearance of the finished masterpiece. The question of how to make a flower from tulle is gradually revealed; to assemble the base, you need to take scissors and cardboard, and make holes in the round blank.
You need to do the same with the atlas squares and combine these two figures into one. To prevent the ribbon from looking disheveled, it should be treated with fire along the edges, then the craft will be assembled neatly and attractively.
How to care for tulle
Like most synthetic materials, nylon tulle is easy to care for, but it can be damaged if washed, rinsed or ironed incorrectly. If we are not talking about curtains, but about a dress or skirt, you need to put the fabric in order especially carefully.
Here are some tips to help you avoid making mistakes:
- Curtains, skirts and dresses made of tulle should be washed in slightly warm water. All pinned decorations must first be removed.
- It is better to wash not with powder, but with gel.
- Washing in activator and automatic washing machines, spinning and twisting is not recommended.
- Rinse curtains and mesh clothing several times until the water is completely clear.
- Before drying, just shake the tulle slightly and straighten it well. Hang to dry away from heating devices in a suspended state.
- After washing, tulle tulle must be ironed in the “silk” or “synthetic” position.
- If there are creases, they are steamed with an iron or the product is hung over a bathtub filled with hot water. After some time, the material is removed, the folds are smoothed out and the product is hung for final drying at room temperature.
Nylon tulle is a fashionable and luxurious fabric loved by couturiers, tailors and curtain designers. Transparent mesh fabric makes beautiful curtains and amazing outfits, thanks to which you can temporarily forget about gray everyday life and plunge into a fairy tale, feeling like a princess.
Bud formation
The finished petals of the tulle bow are attached to the base with a gun, straightened with your fingertips, you can give the desired shape to the product. All rows are applied gradually and evenly, approaching the finishing touches, the outlines of the hairpin will become fully visible. There will be no limit to surprise when the outwardly voluminous structure weighs like a feather; taking it in your hands, you can feel the lightness and enjoy the attractiveness.
The accessories highlight the girl’s image well, and due to the quality of the material, the tulle rose is not felt at all on the hair. Thanks to these simple sequential steps, you can collect several hairpins and use them to braid a spectacular hairstyle for a festive event.Processing secrets
Tulle is sewn with a zig-zag seam: stitch length 2 mm, width 1.5. There is no need to process the bottom - it does not crumble.
Each panel is assembled separately. Departing 0.7 cm from the top cut, machine stitching is done, setting the largest stitch pitch. Then lay a second line - 1 cm below the first. Leave long ends of the threads, which are carefully pulled together.

Story
The first tulle mesh was invented in France in the city of Tulle. When, by order of the monarch's bride, they made a veil over her face. Thanks to this accessory, the young lady could see everything that was happening around her, beautifully hiding her facial features from strangers.
Soon after the celebration, the fabric went into mass production and became known in many countries. Today, tulle is used for sewing wedding dresses, summer skirts and sundresses, ballet tutus and in the manufacture of decorative jewelry (hairpins, brooches, handbags, etc.). See the photo for what tulle fabric and things made from it look like.

Flowers always bring a festive mood; New Year's tulle crafts should not be limited to figures of Santa Claus or Snowman; plants from a flowerbed, decorated with artificial snow, will fit well into a corner for relaxation or games.

Interesting facts about tulle
Transparent and weightless mesh fabric looks so modern that it seems incredible that it is almost 200 years old. We owe the invention of tulle to the Americans - it was they who invented the mesh material in 1832. Initially, the mesh was made from natural threads, and it was intended to protect against insects. This is how the first anti-mosquito blankets appeared in the form in which they are produced today. At that time, tulle was soft and dense, but after the invention of nylon, mesh textiles acquired elasticity and rigidity. Voluminous outfits, including ballet tutus, began to be sewn from the updated cellular fabric.
Now tulle is made from synthetic materials - polyester and nylon (nylon tulle in the photo). The fibers form tough thin threads. The tulle cells are quite small, identical in size. Knitted nylon tulle is also produced, which is obtained by adding an elastomeric polyurethane thread - spandex. Initially, people only knew how to make white tulle, but over time, dyeing technology was invented, and now you can buy mesh textiles in almost any color.
The varieties of this material differ not only in color. Manufacturers never cease to amaze by producing fabrics with embroidered, voluminous and etched patterns. The mesh fabric is decorated with beads, sequins, appliqués, embroidery, and coated with gold and silver plating. Fashionable nylon tulle can be matte, shiny and iridescent in different shades.
Wedding options
The wedding of two people in love is one of the wonderful events in life; many are faced with car decoration and go through a large number of options. Being a friend of the bride and possessing needlework skills, it is worth offering to design a tulle headband for the door handles; such help will not be superfluous, and the attention shown will definitely help strengthen the relationship.
Stylish colors
Nude and powdery tones are considered the favorites of recent seasons. What makes the color stylish is not only the shade, but also the haze effect. Smoky pink, blue, and beige shades look great. For an evening look, a rich blue skirt is suitable.
For a youth party, you can choose a product in bright red. The black model attracts the eye and is associated with the Gothic style. Also, similar options can appear in an ensemble in the spirit of steam punk.
Interesting! Various shades of beige are suitable for everyday wardrobe. Soft light colors fit into a summer look. Darker shades are recommended for the off-season.
Bright tulle is good in children's looks. Multi-colored tiers with a bright ribbon along the edge are an interesting option for a graduate’s look.
Nothing extra
Do not rush to throw away the remaining scraps of fabric from previous works; they can also be used. It’s easy to construct small elastic bands from tulle, and you don’t need a lot of material to make them; recycling the scraps will be beneficial and will delight you with new masterpieces. The list of things is small, but you will still have to purchase some small things:
