Creating Tulle Wedding Favors With Almonds: A Step-By-Step Guide

Tulle is a popular fabric for weddings due to its flowy feel and feminine appeal. Tulle can be used in various ways to enhance wedding decor, such as creating an arch covered with tulle or tulle curtains decorated with greenery and blooms. It is also commonly used to create personalised wedding favours, such as mini wine bottles, scented sachets, wildflower seed packets, and more.

One popular use of tulle for wedding favours is to wrap five Jordan almonds, which represent five wishes for the bride and groom: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life. These can be purchased pre-made or DIYed. Etsy and Amazon offer a variety of DIY wedding favour kits that include tulle and other materials such as organza bags, ribbons, and stickers.

1. Purchase or source the necessary materials: tulle, ribbon, almonds, and any other desired decorations.

2. Cut the tulle into squares or circles large enough to wrap around the desired number of almonds (typically five).

3. Place the almonds in the centre of the tulle.

4. Gather the edges of the tulle and secure them with a ribbon, leaving enough length to tie a bow.

5. Optional: add a tag with a personal message or the five wishes traditionally associated with Jordan almonds.

Tulle wedding favour cones

Materials:

• Tulle fabric
• Ribbon
• Scissors
• Almonds

Optional:

• Floral spray
• Other decorations such as pearls or flowers

Method:

Step 1: Cut the tulle fabric into circles. The circles should be large enough to accommodate the desired number of almonds. A good rule of thumb is to cut the circles twice the size of your hand.

Step 2: Place 3-5 almonds in the centre of each tulle circle.

Step 3: Gather the edges of the tulle fabric and carefully tie the ribbon around the gathered fabric, just below the almonds. Leave enough ribbon at the end to create a cute bow.

Step 4: (Optional) Decorate the cones with a floral spray, pearls, or flowers. You can also add a personalised tag with a message or the guest's name.

Step 5: Repeat these steps until you have the desired number of favour cones.

Tulle honey jars

Step 1: Sourcing Materials

First, you will need to source your honey jars. Honey jars come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including hexagon, oval, round, skep, and the traditional queenline jars. You can also opt for playful designs like honey bears or elegant options like square-shaped Muth jars with cork tops.

For the tulle, you can purchase tulle rounds or circles, which are available in different colours and sizes. Etsy is a great source for these, offering a range of sizes, from 9-inch circles to larger 15-inch wide options. You can also find tulle in bolt form, which is sold by the yard and can be cut to your desired size.

Step 2: Preparing the Honey Jars

Before filling your honey jars, ensure they are clean and dry. If you wish to add a decorative touch, consider tying a ribbon around the jar or attaching a personalised tag with a message or the wedding date.

Step 3: Filling the Tulle

Place five almonds in the centre of the tulle circle. If you prefer, you can substitute the almonds with another small treat or favour. Gather the edges of the tulle and secure it with a ribbon, creating a pouch. You can also use a drawstring organza bag to hold the almonds and then wrap the tulle around it for an extra layer.

Step 4: Assembling the Favours

Place the filled honey jars in the centre of the tulle pouch. Gather the tulle around the jar and secure it with a ribbon, creating a decorative bow. You can also add additional decorations like small keyrings, silk flowers, or personalised tags.

Step 5: Presentation Ideas

To display your tulle honey jar favours, consider placing them in a wicker basket filled with flowers or on a table with other treats. They can also be arranged on a tiered stand or placed at each guest's table setting.

Your tulle honey jar wedding favours are now complete and ready to be enjoyed by your guests!
