This should take the place of the Brillo type you use 2 months and throw away. Or, depending on the thickness of the tulle, it could be to exfoliate your face.
I bought this bolt of tulle cheep at a bargain barn before Christmas to decorate with. That didn't happen but I know I could use it for this.
Cut strips of tulle about 2" wide. I used 6 for each side.
Use a chain stitch for 5 stitches and connect them. Go back over the first row with two single crotchet in each of the original 5 stitches. Just tie on the next strip and keep going.
Try not to make a cup shape you can't flatten out by stretching it a little. If so just pull it out and start over. No biggie.
Build on each row until you have the size you want.Then tie it off and start the second one.
Two layers makes it stronger. After the second one is finished you need another strip to connect the two together.
Leave a pocket open to put your soap in if you want to, or close it up completely.
I use these on my prize collection of cast iron skillets from Mom and GMom. They work on no-scratch skillets, white wall tires, and more. This jewel doesn't ware out.

    I would like to see that. I'm not much good with macrame. But that would be interesting too.

    I kept looking for crochet thread. It was hard for me to imagine that the tulle looked that much like yarn. I only know the chain stitch, but even I could make this. Thank you, Regina. And Brian, your photos makes this so much easier to follow. It’s hard to craft and photo, too. ☺️
