Tulle Tutus

Our first project will be to duplicate the ever-so-popular Tulle Tutu that everyone sells online for $30. It costs a fraction of that to make and will probably turn out better.

Skill Level: Beginner

Tools: 6inch wide Tulle Ribbon (found in the wedding section at wal-mart as 60yd bolt)
you need 40-60 yards depending on skirt length.

ARIZONA: Ribbons and Lace has all the materials and can instruct you further

elastic to fit around child's waist

1 yd or more of decorative ribbon (no limit to your creativity-Go Wild!!)

Hot glue gun and glue (My best friend for crafting)

1. glue the elastic together at the ends to fit your child's waist
2. cut tulle into 1 yard strips
3. fold the strips in half.  Fold in half again creating a loop
4. loop through itself around the elastic and pull tight SEE BELOW

NOTE: For fuller skirts, use 2 strips of tulle for one loop.
5. Continue to fill the elastic waist with loops until full
6. Add decorative ribbon in loops and, or a bow.
7. For extra cuteness, hot glue a flower at the seam
   Tutu is ready to wear!  It's that simple.
