Hi friends! Today I’m sharing with you a quick and easy tutorial to make your very own Back to School Tulle Teacher Apple Wreath! If you’re new around here, one thing you will learn quickly is that I love tulle. Now that may seem strange since I only have boys at home, so there are no tutus being made over here! But actually I love to incorporate the material in fun, fluffy, easy-to-make wreaths. Don’t get me wrong, I love a cute yarn wreath as much as the next gal, but I don’t usually have the time to put into one. So tulle is my answer. Here are a few that I’ve made and showcased on A Night Owl:
St Patrick’s Day :: Easter :: Memorial Day/4th of July
Well now it’s time for the kiddos to head back to school. And our 3 year old has actually started preschool so I now get to partake in the back to school goodness! Now school has already started for us, but many of you may still be preparing to head back, so I wanted to share with you a fun, easy Tulle Apple Wreath I made as a gift for my son’s teacher!
And here’s a quick how-to: I used a heart-shaped wreath form, two rolles of red tulle, part of a roll of green tulle, red ribbon, a wooden “E”, and brown foam paper. I simply cut similar lengths of red tulle and grabbing two at a time, tied them around the wreath form. Once the form was mostly covered, I tied longer lengths of green tulle to tie around the top as “leaves” of the apple. I then cut out a stem from brown foam paper and glued to the green tulle. I the spray painted the wooden “E” with a little chalkboard paint and used some chalk to give it some character. I glued a piece of ribbon to the “E” and tied it onto the wreath. Lastly I glued a ribbon to the back of the wreath for hanging. For a full picture tutorial check out my first tulle wreath post!
I hope you enjoy this little Back to School and Teacher’s Gift project!

Thanks for linking up at Pin it Wednesday! I need to make some of these wreaths! I’ll start with Halloween! Stop by to see my Cars inspired birthday party this week!
I love the Cars party Amy! Thanks for stopping by and for all the sweet comments!
Any idea of what the total cost would be to make something like this?? Thanks!
Hi Lori! I think it was about $3 for the form, each roll of tulle was $5, but I didn’t use much green at all. The brown foam paper for the stem was $1 and the letter under a $1. So I think total materials used it was probably around $10! Hope that helps!
