Today’s DIY is a reader request! The lovely Lauren sent me this gorgeous Anthropologie Tulle Tendril Bib as an idea for a potential project. The piece is stunning, but also very expensive. (And if you couldn’t tell from yesterday’s post, I’m having a major moment with tulle right now.) Always up for a challenge, I gave the project a whirl. I’m not going to lie… this one involved a lot of glue and got messy at times, but I think the end result is worth the irritation and mess… I hope you give it a try!
Materials // Where to Buy: Felt (I used an old sweater that I had felted by putting in the washer) // about a yard of grosgrain ribbon, about 1/4″ wide // 5 brass bezels // some tulle that you will shred up // about 14″ metallic lace trim // rhinestones, both small + large. // not pictured: E6000 glue // fabric glue
And you are done!

Ooh this is so pretty Grace! Love the big clustered jewels.
I think it is quite worth the mess. What a fun and whimsical piece- right in time for all of us who just can’t let go of tulle and rhinestones. Thanks! xo

It looks great, and pretty simple. I think I’ll give it a try.
You seriously keep topping yourself, Grace. I’ve actually seen (and lusted after) this Anthro piece, so I’m completely head over heels for this!
I am seriously impressed! Love. Such a gorgeous DIY.
Well done!!

I realize I’m 100% biased here, but this is my favorite DIY you’ve done! You keep outdoing yourself, week after week, Grace. I can’t wait to try this out this weekend – thank you so much for taking the necklace of my dreams and making it possible to own!
This turned out great! One of my favorite DIY’s that you’ve done. I’m also having a major tulle moment!
Isn’t That Charming.

Wow, you did such a great job recreating this necklace. It looks so similar! Maybe I’ll make this my weekend project since I have some extra time.
