Tulle is a fabulous, inexpensive way to decorate a room or large hall for special events such as a wedding, birthday, or baby shower. While the tulle itself is sufficient decoration in most cases, hanging lights with the tulle brings out an atmosphere of beauty, sophistication, and elegance. |

Instructions: |
1. Figure out how you want to decorate the room. Some people prefer to run the tulle and lights to a focal point at the center of the ceiling. Others may want to put them side-to-side for a “stars in the night” effect. |
|
2. Measure out the tulle pieces so that it is sufficient to drape along the ceiling. |
|
3. Cut several pieces of the 1/8″ ribbon. Each piece should be about a foot long. |
|
4. Lay the tulle on the floor and place the Christmas lights along the center of the tulle. Roll up the tulle with the lights inside. |
|
5. Tie a ribbon piece at each end to secure the tulle and lights together. |
|
6. Use the rest of the ribbon pieces to secure the tulle and lights every 10 inches along the length. |
|
7. Hang the tulle on the ceiling with clear pushpins or removable hooks. |
