How to make a hair bow holder for girly girls

Step 5 Cut the tulle and glue it to the hoop half

To give the craft a visual base, I placed some netting behind the ribbons. In my case, I had left over mosquito netting just sitting in my attic. It is very stiff and I would suggest using tulle for a more flowing effect. (Note: While I used mosquito netting, I will use the term "tulle" since that is probably what you will be using.)

To cut the tulle, make sure the width is more than half the hoop circumference. Use a circumference calculator ( here's one ) to determine the circumference. Then divide by half. This is the number you need more of for your width. The tulle will have a gathered look to it, so you have to have more than half the hoop circumference.

The length of the tulle should be the same or a little bit more than the ribbons.

I'm sure there is a more scientific way to do this, but I started by gluing one edge of the tulle to one end of the interior of the hoop half. Then I glued the other edge to the other end of the interior of the hoop half. Next I glued the middle of the tulle to the middle of the hoop. I then folded and glued down the tulle to the rest of the hoop.
