Supplies
You'll need

- two yards' length of 6โณ wideย tulleย (or glitter sequins tulle) - 6" wide tulle rolls come in 10 or 25 yards, so you'll have enough for a lot of tulle hair bows
- elastic ties (ponytail ties)
- scissors
You can make a fuller or a more transparent bow, depending on the length of your tulle piece.

Diy Tulle Bow Tutorial
Step 1 - Cut the Tulle pieces
Cut two pieces of tulle from your 6" wide spool
- one piece should be 1 ยฝ yard long, (it can vary, depending on how transparent you want your bows to be.)
- and one just half a yard long - this is to tie off your tulle bow
Step 2 - Wrap the Long Piece
Fold the long piece in half lengthwise so the strip width is no longer 6" (now it's 3" only) and place one end between your palm and your thumb, like this:

Now start wrapping the tulle around your hand, I like to keep my fingers apart so the tulle bow will be a bit larger:

Keep wrapping it over and over and over again, until you've used up your whole tulle piece. That will be around 11-14 times around your hand.
Step 3 - Add the small tulle piece and the Ponytail tie

Next, grab the piece in the center, fold it accordion-style, then pinch it closed. (see the photo above) so you get a bow shape.

Take your small piece of tule and wrap it around the gathered center (see 1), then add a ponytail tie (see 2). Double-knot the tulle piece on the back of the bow (see 3 and 4)

Then wrap it a few times around the pleated center, and tie it off at the back side.

Variation: instead of tying it off, you can also use a hot glue gun to keep the tulle ends in place. Enjoy!
