How to Make an Easy Tulle Bow for a Valentine's Day Box of Chocolates
This year, elevate your basic Dollar Store box of chocolates with a handmade touch that's both elegant and surprisingly simple to create: an Easy Tulle Bow for a Valentine's Day Box of Chocolates.
Step One: Cutting the Tulle
Measure and cut a length of tulle approximately 3 to 6 feet long, depending on the size of your bow and the chocolate box.
For a fuller bow, consider using a longer piece of tulle. The width of the fabric typically ranges from 6 to 12 inches, suitable for most bow sizes.
Step Two: Forming the Bow
With your four fingers facing up, lay the tulle flat holding it down with your thumb as shown.
Continue looping the tulle loosely around your fingers, creating as many loops as desired for fullness.
Once you've wrapped all of the tulle around your fingers, secure the center with a separate piece of the tulle tied tightly in a knot. This extra piece of tulle can also create a base to attach the bow to the chocolate box.
Using scissors cut the tulle loops in the center opposite of where it is tied in a knot. See below.
Now you can fluff the tulle bow to even it out. Trim it down by gathering it in your hand and using the scissors if you prefer a smaller bow.
Step Three: Attaching the Bow to Your Chocolate Box
