Does anyone know how to make net bath puffs?
Thank you so much for any ideas you have!

Recently I took a net bath puff apart, I
found a long rolled section of netting material
that had been gathered and tied in the center,
and then spread around to form the shape. It
appears similar to the format one would use to
make a large bow, only netting material is used
instead of ribbon, also added is some additional
fabric of your choice to use as a loop in which to
hang your puff.

Dear Wendy,
I've been making net "scrubbies" for years using nylon net. Determine the
width of the puff you want, then layer about six layers about a yard
long. Fold accordian style (the way you made tissue flowers in grade
school). Fold this accordian in half to determine the exact middle and
zig-zag the center in place. Then simply pull the layers apart to puff
them up. If you have folded the net in half to get the width you want
you'll have to trim that folded edge to separate the layers. This is a
five minute project. Good luck--

The mesh bath puff I have is not NET, but rather a nylon mesh fabric - I think
net would be too harsh for everyday use.

I haven't seen the mesh for sale anywhere; perhaps one of the sports mesh
fabrics would work.

Hi Fran,
I know you submitted the following article several years ago but I
thought I would take a chance and see if you could help me since your
answer was so good.
I have purchased 11 yards of tuille to make a Net Bath Puff costume
for Halloween.
I have been searching the net for help with making it. I was thinking
of having the middle of the puff be at my waist with some kind of
elastic (I will be attaching the puff to a teeshirt) so I can pull it
over my head. My second idea was to make 2 puffs one for the front
and one for the back. Any suggestions????
