No-Sew Tutu


As the mama of two very girly-girls, we're all about the dressing up at our house. This is a quick, cheap, and easy way to supplement the tutu drawer :-)

Here's what you need:
1-2 rolls of tulle (you can find it at craft stores usually in the wedding section)
Approximately two feet of elastic
Scissors



Here's what you do:
1. Measure your elastic around the recipients' waist. Make it tight enough so it won't sag, but not so tight it will be uncomfortable. Leave about 2 inches on either end to tie it.

2. Cut segments of your rolled tulle - about 18 inches long each. You'll need more or less fabric depending on how long you cut your segments and how poofy you want the tutu.



3. Tie the cut tulle segments to the elastic - knot in the center of the tulle segments.


4. Start by tying the tulle to either end, then the center, then fill in the gaps, so your tulle pieces are spaced evenly across the elastic.


5. Enlist the help of your grampy if needed...


6.  Tie it around your recipient's waist...and start twirling :-)
