Death by tulle...

Today I crafted, and there was much rejoicing.

I wanted to make some fall decorations for around the house and thought that a wreath for the front door would be a pretty easy day project. 
I wanted to do a version of this one here:

I'm not a big fan of just Halloween decorations, I like to decorate for the season. That and there was no black tulle at the craft store. 

Here's the supplies you'll need:


3 rolls of tulle
ribbon
large hoop (I used a cross stitch hoop)


See it's pretty easy, and fairly cheap too. 


Cut the tulle into 14-16 inch strips.
This will be tedious, and you may hate me after the first roll. I'm sorry, really I am.
Then tie the tulle around the hoop, add the ribbon.
Add an embelishment if you like.
Use the ribbon to hang on your door.
Do a little dance.

I used chocolate brown and gold tulle. Here's what it looked like before I added the ribbon:
 
I'm sorry you're just a tulle. 
Haha! Couldn't resist.
And here's how pretty it looks on my front door:


It sort of reminds me of a tutu.
I love it.
