No need to use two layers - this stuff is a little heavier, and was designed to use in making sewing paraphernalia bags, and also for colorful back-packs with fancy-schmancy pockets of mesh.> I used one layer of tulle for my first attempts but I made a small hem on the top side of the pocket as I did not want to catch my threads on the uneven edge of the net. Making it double is just a lazy way of achieving a neat top as both bottom edges are caught with the fabric by the sewing machine. I also buy the tulle rolls when they are on sale at JoAnns or Michaels. I do have one roll that uses elastic rather than ribbon but as I pack in as many bobbins as I can I am limited by the amount the elastic stretches. I wonder if scrunchies would have more stretch that the regular elastic on my roll? I also put my bobbins head down so that I don't handle the thread more than I should and having see through pockets is useful for bobbins with left over thread on them. I can see at a glance if I have one with enough thread to use later in a project that has several same color sections. Janice
