The Cheapest and Best Sources for Tulle Fabric, Tulle Rolls and Tulle Bolts
by CB Flowers and Crafts
As I was preparing for my duties as maid-of-honor, I couldn’t help but notice adorable girls’ tulle tutus on Pinterest. My first thought was that these tutus are perfect for the flower girls in the wedding. I especially loved the cute pictures of girls carrying flower girl baskets to complement their white knee length tutus. Tutus have become popular for adults, too. Adults can wear everything from fun shorter-length costume tutus to classy knee-length tulle skirts with pumps. Below are a list of our favorite sources for tulle fabric, tulle rolls, and tulle bolts.
1. JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores
Joann Fabric carries almost every imaginable craft supply and a large selection of fabric. JoAnn allows you to buy tulle by the yard so you can order fabric based on your needs. You can also purchase a mix of tulle colors to complement each other. Customers who like to browse aisles in a brick-and-mortar business can enjoy picking fabrics in person.
2. Amazon or Etsy
These trusted sites are a collective resource to compare prices from different sellers while enjoying buyer protection. Tulle can be typically purchased in rolls measuring 6” wide or bolts measuring 54” wide (lengths will vary). While the 6” and 54” sizes are industry standard, each seller has a different source so pay attention to the listing length and be sure to calculate the price per yard. Even after considering the shipping cost, the price per yard will mostly likely be cheaper than buying tulle by the yard from a brick-and-mortar store. The downside with the industry standard sizing is that there may be a limit the number of colors you can experiment with based on your budget.
3. Online tulle suppliers, wholesalers and importers
The main benefit of shopping from online wholesalers is that the prices will be cheaper because there are no sellers fees and because you are buying as close to the source as possible. While you won’t be buying “brand name” tulle, the tulle fabric comes from comparable manufacturers and is made from high quality nylon. Buying direct (or close to direct) from importers means the savings are passed on to you. Craft supplies wholesalers also have a wider range of colors and options. For example, you will find glitter tulle, leopard print tulle and polka dot tulle.
So, what is he cheapest and best source for tulle fabric, tulle rolls and tulle bolts?
The best source for tulle fabric, tulle rolls and tulle bolts will depend on your needs. Do you prefer to shop in brick-and-mortar stores and to touch tulle fabric in person? Perhaps a brick-and-mortar store is the best way to get started. Once you’ve picked your favorite colors, you can visit Amazon or Etsy, where you can shop for tulle in industry standard sizes and buy in bulk and save. For those that need very large quantities of tulle, I recommend buying from a tulle supplier and wholesaler so that you get the exact color of tulle that you want while enjoying wholesale discounts.
Finally, how do I know what size tulle to order?
The tulle fabric size depends on the project you’re working on. For DIY no-sew tutus, we recommend 6 inch x 25 yards tulle spools. For full-length tulle skirts, we would go with 54 inch x 40 yards tulle bolts. You will also find the much larger 108 inch x 50 yards tulle bolts, perfect for decorating pews and arches.

We love the arrival of Thanksgiving because not only is it a holiday dedicated solely to food, but also it heralds the arrival of numerous fall and autumn crafts. As a wholesale party and crafts supplier, this makes us very very happy (obviously).
And so, it is with great joy to see Martha Stewart telling us to glitter-ize your corn. You literally take gold glitter and PAINT CORN. Is it food? Don't eat it, glitter-ize it!
But why stop at corn? Why not paint your peas and cranberries too? And your decorative gourds?? Go forth, and glitter-ize! As Martha would say, "I really treasure it."
Just make sure to warn the slower kids that glitter foods are not for eating. Cuz glitter.
Simple Elsa Costumes for Frozen Movie Parties
We've seen a spike lately in purchases of our elbow-length satin gloves for children, turquoise glitter tulle, and mini rhinestone tiaras. After talking with some of our customers, we realized that they were throwing Frozen Movie Parties for their kids!
I totally understand - after watching the movie, one of us may or may not have asked to have our hair braided just like Elsa.
Anyway, to pull off a convincing Frozen movie party, you're also gonna need to have children's Elsa costumes (credit Eighteen25). Trust us, it's super easy and requires no sewing (we wouldn't do that to you).
If you're going to have the costume, gloves and tiaras, then you must also have the no-sew Elsa cape (credit makeit-loveit).
Finally, to make the Frozen movie party complete and win Best Mom/Dad of the Year award, you're going to need to make some ice crystals and snow decorations.
...what, you need tutorials for that too?
And now, I've spent way too much time singing "Let it goooooooo..."
In keeping with this beautiful fall and crisp weather, we've decided it's time to start decorating our rooms and apartments in the gold, copper, and reds of fall. Starting with something as simple as tree branches, which you can find outside anywhere for free, we love the idea from Rachel of The Crafted Life.
However, instead of using Copper and Gold foil, we think this craft may be even simpler (and cheaper) using Copper or Gold GLITTER!! We may even throw in some Red GLITTER just to go a little bit crazy.
Head on over to Poppytalk for the full DIY Copper + Gold Foil Branches tutorial.
It's October!
It's the 1st of October, and it officially feels like the beginning of fall. This sweater weather makes us reminiscent of windswept dusk afternoons, yellow and golden leaves, pumpkin lattes and cinnamon broom sticks.
Our plans are to audit our current inventory and revamp our warehouse, clean-up our shelves in preparation for the upcoming holiday season in hopes that the retail-gods while smile upon us, and start thinking about age-appropriate Halloween costumes.
What are some of your DIY crafts and projects for October?
DIY Tutus for Halloween
It's almost time for our favorite holiday of the year! Because let's be honest, any celebration with FREE CANDY as its central purpose is an auto-favorite. I don't care how old you are.
We loved reading Shannon Brown's "how to tutu" tutorial and learned how to easily make your own tutus out of 6" tulle rolls for your child's Halloween costume, dress-up play activities, or normal everyday wear.
The one thing we might argue with is that CB Flower and Craft's tulle rolls are MUCH more affordable than that other company-which-shall-not-be-named. Ours sells at $0.24/yard for a 75FT roll. Yea, I can't believe it either. Get your tutu on!
On our daily internet adventures we came across this great article from Priceonomics talking about the rise of glitter bombing by the glitterati. Who knew this was even a thing?!
While the act itself may be somewhat controversial, if you ever find yourself in need of A WHOLE LOT OF glitter for your own clandestine glitter activities, we sell glitter in bulk!

Our wholesale TULLE sale starts today. $7.75 per bolt of 54" x 40 yds tulle (minimum 20 bolts/color). Sale ends 9/26/14.
In the past two weeks we've attended not one but two (TWO!!) weddings in which these bubble wands were used as part of the wedding ceremony. We loved the ethereal effect of guests blowing bubbles as the bride and groom walked back down the aisle. Not to mention, it was a fantastic way for all the guests to feel part of the ceremony and help the couple celebrate their first moments as husband and wife. Attached to wedding programs or placed on reception tables, our bubble wand is a fun and customizable wedding favor for all weddings.
p.s. Bonus side effect: all the little kids, flower girls and ring bearers went crazy over the bubbles. I mean, who wouldn't?! Bubbles!!
Another fantastic DIY craft project using artificial flowers! For a fun, homemade or budget project requiring a minimal amount of time (and money), have a look at these flower embellished shadow boxes from A Beautiful Mess.
Our artificial silk flowers will stay beautiful and last for many, many years to come. What a great way to add some personal touches to your photos and home decor!
