How to Make a Tulle Table Skirt

Equipment

  • 2 rolls of tulle, each 6 inches wide x 100 yards.
  • 5/8 inch fold-over stretch elastic
  • Fabri-Tac adhesive
  • Chiffon flower trim
  • Straight pins or safety pins
  • A white tablecloth
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • First, cover your table with a tablecloth and wrap the elastic along the top edge of the table.
  • The tie should be at the back.
  • Pin the elastic to the tablecloth in various spots to keep it secure while you add your tulle.
  • To create your skirt you will need to cut your rolls of tulle.
  • Each strip should be double the height of your table.
  • My table is 35 inches high so I cut each strip 70 inches long
  • To attach the tulle to the elastic, fold one strip in half and then place the loop over and behind the elastic.
  • Grab the tails of the tulle and pass them through the loop.
  • Tighten the tulle, it should look like a tie, with the knot in front.
  • The smaller your knot, the more tulle you will need
  • Continue attaching the tulle.
  • If your table will be against the wall, you only need to cover 3 sides.
  • Attach the trim by applying small beads of adhesive along the top edges of the skirt.
  • Hold the trim in place until it dries, work in small sections until all sides are covered.
  • Step back and look at your skirt.
  • There may be some strips longer than others, which you can either trim or keep uneven, adding to the whimsical look.
  • What a simple way to add a dramatic effect to your next event.
