You Will Need:
-Tulle
-Clear Hair Elastics
-Paper Flowers (But really you could do the same thing with anything you wanted)
-Ribbon (I used 7/8" wide white ribbon)
-Measuring Tape
-Scissors
-Wire
-Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue
Instructions:
1) Make small bouquets of paper flowers. I used five of the paper flowers that match the ones I created for the centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres. We made a small bouquet and stuck them together with hot glue and wire.
2) Measure the pews at the location of your wedding ceremony. You'll need to know how tall the pews are so you can cut the tulle to the correct length. The pews at the church I'm getting married at are 34" tall. So I cut pieces of tulle that were approximately 68" (Heights of pews x 2) long. Each decoration has two pieces of tulle. So I ended up cutting 64 pieces of tulle that were 68" long by 6" wide. I actually used the tiles on the floor of my parents kitchen to measure and cut the tulle. Three tiles were approximately the length I needed so I rolled the tulle out on the floor, weighed the one end down with a candle and cut the tulle every three tiles. My dad actually came up with the idea. It saved me a lot of time.
3) Take two pieces of the tulle you cut and fold them both in half. Then I put an elastic nine and a half inches from the fold to keep the tulle together and help keep the flowers in place.
4) Wedge the tulle in between the flowers to keep the flowers in place.
5) Tie a piece of ribbon right underneath the flowers. I did this to help cover up the wire from the flowers and I also liked the look of it. I cut my ribbon into pieces that were about 24" long.
6) Repeat steps 3-5 for all your decorations! I made 32 and I plan to put them on every other pew in the church
