Jellyfish Pew Bows!

I'm not sure whats going on, but it seems as though every day I have a new project popping its head into my life!
Once I realized that the aisle runner would be easy enough, I saw that I had a stack...yes a stack! of Tulle that my Aunt gave me from her daughters shower.
I searched and searched online, and yet, couldn't find a nice tulle bow that I could make...
Until I realized I found this one!what do you think? Can I do it?
Starfish Pew Decoration from yourweddingco.com
No beach-themed wedding is complete without starfish! This pretty pew decoration is inexpensive and very easy to make. Decorate pews or chair ends during the ceremony, then move the bows to the reception to decorate chairbacks, tables, doors or walls. This bow also resembles a jellyfish when complete! Great for wedding, prom, or nautical-themed events.
Materials and Tools:
Chiffon Ribbon - Any Color (2 yards)
Satin Edged Ribbon - Any Color (2 yards)
54" wide Tulle Draping - Any Color (2 yards)
Natural Starfish - Large (7 )
Pew Clips (1 )
Sharp Scissors
Hot Glue Gun


When cutting the tulle for this project, decide how high you want your pew decoration to be and multiply the length by two. Fold the tulle in half and gather it about 6 to 8-inches down from the fold. This will form a loop of tulle at the top. Secure the loop at the top by tying ribbons around the tulle and letting them hang freely.



Starting with one edge of the tulle, gently fan it out with your fingers until you reach the other edge.

Tie on more ribbon if desired. Here we added a satin-edged chiffon to the center. The ribbon mimics tentacles on a jellyfish. You could also add pearl strings or raffia depending on the formality of the event.



It's pretty obvious that its simple(to the eye that is...). I ordered daisy's from Save-On-Crafts.com so I am hoping to stick the daisy's in the middle of that and then tiny starfish inside the daisys.... It's just figuring out HOW to make it look like that. The tulle I have is large hole tulle. Not sure how that works, or if it makes a difference...



I have enough to make eight so far. I am sure it's pretty simple to get the tulle. I am just trying to save money wise as much as possible. So if I can do this, and make it look like the 30 dollar ones seen above...I bet I can! I will start playing and as soon as I figure it out, I'll be sure to post my own how-tos and be honest with the problems/issues lol
