Instructions:
- Tulle comes in a lot of interesting varieties in addition to the stiff net-like material we are used to. You can find it with glitter, an iridescent sheen, pearls attached and in a rainbow of colors and metallics.
- Cut circles from the tulles you want to layer for your flower. They do not have to be perfect circles but can be if you want – just use a die to cut them out.
- Take your lighter and carefully and quickly run it along the edges of your circles. This will seal them and also give your flat circle a bit of dimension.
- Run glitter glue around the edges of some or all of your layers if you want.
- Use liquid glue and apply tiny dots to some of the layers to glue seed beads on if you want.
- Use glue dots to adhere your layers and your flower center.

I am making a variation of these for a newborn baby headband! I have also made these for myself for a brooch pin using several colors of tulle layered in various sizes. They made great gifts too and look lovely as a pretty substitute bow on a package as gift wrap, and as a art of the gift as well as the wrapping! You can make these in several,sizes and also vary the number of layers to change up the look. Lovely!

I have an awesome idea for this pretty and delicate sheer flowers. How about making twelve to fifteen of these to string on a garland made from grosgrain ribbon? Just buy the ribbon of your choice and hot glue these babies onto the length, evenly spacing them. Perfect for a little Princess room or for girly party decorations.
