Heart and Home


I have wanted a nice full old fashioned tulle heart for a few years and never found anything that came close what I had envisioned so I have been formulating in my head for months how to achieve the look I wanted. I tried a few techniques with wire forms and tied on pieces and it was definitely not what I wanted. Last week in the midst of the absurdity I decided to get my mind on something else and this is what I came up with...



I had picked up the perfect color pink vintage tulle netting at an estate sale last summer and it turned out just the way I wanted. I didn't keep track of the amount of netting needed but I ruffled up 3" strips of netting by folding them in half and basting close to the fold, then I hot glued them to a styrofoam heart form. You could probably add whatever you like to decorate it with but for me that would take away from the simple beauty of the vintage tulle.

Enjoy your moments,
