DIY BATH POOF

With Halloween just around the corner,I'm coming across idea's as to what to dress up as. Always a mind block for me and not only that its always the same outfits i come across each year but this year i wanna be original. So far i've stuck up a couple of pictures on the page one of a mermaid and another of a bath poof. So far you guys are loving the bath poof as i'm chilling here on the sofa i've dived in to see how and what you need to make it.


I've come across two ways of making the bath poof/scrub/loofah what ever you wanna call it,this one is easy peasy :)). First set of materials you'll need 

30 yards of Tulle 
2 feet of rope
1 yard of stretch fabric jersey (matching colour of your tulle)
Needle and thread 

With your stretch of fabric used as your base your gonna start tacking your tulle with the needle and thread. There is no rhyme to it you just wanna make it as real as possible. Use all of your tulle covering the whole dress. Hot glue the rope to your dress. You can hang it at the side,front or use it as a halter to go around your neck. 

Second set of materials 

25 yards of matte tulle
1.5 yards of elastic
1.5 yards of braided rope
Ruler 
Scissors
Tube dress

Start by cutting your tulle into 10 equal length pieces that means each piece will be 2.5 yards in length. 1 yard is 3 feet each individual piece will be 7.5 feet long. Take each piece and fold in half then into another half,so each piece is 0.625 yards in length. Take the elastic and cut one piece out to fit your waist and another piece out to fit you below your bust line. Measure these pieces,cut them out and then just tie a tight knot at the end of each piece. Cut out 10 small pieces of the elastic about 5 inches each. You'll be using these to hold the tulle together that you created in step2 and to tie it to the larger elastic you created in step 3. Now take 1 piece of the 5 inch elastic you created in step 4 and tie it in the center of one of the tulle pieces you folded in step 2 do this with all 10 pieces of tulle and elastic. Take the 5 out of 10 pieces you created in step 5 and tie them to one of the elastic bands you created in step 3. Do the same with the other 5 pieces of tulle and the other elastic band. Once you tie up the 10 tulle pieces to the 2 elastic band,you'll end up with 2 tulle skirts. Take the braided rope and tie it to the top tulle skirts elastic. That will be loofahs hanging rope. Photos have to follow beauties not enough space,sorry and hopeful see this around at Halloween :))
