Directions:

Step 1:

First, cover your table with a tablecloth and wrap the elastic along the top edge of the table.

The tie should be at the back.

Step 2:

Pin the elastic to the tablecloth in various spots to keep it secure while you add your tulle.

Step 3:

To create your skirt you will need to cut your rolls of tulle.

Each strip should be double the height of your table.

My table is 35 inches high so I cut each strip 70 inches long.

Step 4:

To attach the tulle to the elastic, fold one strip in half and then place the loop over and behind the elastic.

Step 5:

Grab the tails of the tulle and pass them through the loop.

Step 6:

Tighten the tulle, it should look like a tie, with the knot in front.

The smaller your knot, the more tulle you will need.

Step 7:

Continue attaching the tulle.

If your table will be against the wall, you only need to cover 3 sides.

Step 8:

Attach the trim by applying small beads of adhesive along the top edges of the skirt.

Step 9:

Hold the trim in place until it dries, work in small sections until all sides are covered.

Step 10:

Step back and look at your skirt.

There may be some strips longer than others, which you can either trim or keep uneven adding to the whimsical look.

Step 11:

What a simple way to add a dramatic effect to your next event.
