Step Two

Wrap around the width of your fingers several times.  About 15-20 make a  small to medium bow.  The number of times you wrap it around will determine how thick or full your tulle bow will be.

Step Three

Cut your tulle. Then cut a second, separate piece of tulle about the length of your hand and thread this underneath your bundle that is on your fingers and tie a knot to secure your bundle as in the picture.
