DIY: Anthropologie inspired Tulle Tendril Bib

DIY Anthropologie Tulle Tendril Bib

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!

    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 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!
