What little girl wouldn't love dancing around in her very own fluffy tutu. Now you can make a special costume that your little princess will cherish, with only a few sewing stitches.

Materials needed
6 yards of Soft tulle – Choose all one color, or be creative and mix colors for a really unique skirt.
¾” elastic – enough to fit around the child’s waist
2 large safety pins
Rotary Cutter and mat (if you have one, if not, scissors are just fine.)
Decorations (ribbons, sequin, flowers, pom poms, etc.)

Lay the tulle on a large surface such as your kitchen or dining room table, or the kitchen counter. The tulle will be folded in half on the bolt, fold it in half again, this will make it much easier to cut.

Cut 5” strips of tulle from the fold to the selvage. Using a rotary cutter, makes this step much faster and a little easier. If you don’t have a rotary cutter, scissors work just fine.

Pin a large safety pin 1” from each end of the elastic. This will help keep the tulle from sliding off the elastic while you are working.

Take one tulle strip, and, keeping it folded in fourths, lay it on top of the elastic with the folded edge above the elastic band. Loop the tail of the tulle, over the elastic and through the loop at the top of the tulle. This will secure the strip to the elastic band. Pull the tulle until it is a secure knot.

Repeat this process with the remainder of the tulle strips to the end of the elastic. Once the tulle is fluffy and full enough, overlap the ends of the elastic strips and tack them together by hand, or machine, if you have one. Make sure the stitches are secure. Adjust the strips evenly around the elastic.

To make your tutu skirt really fancy, your can attach flowers, or pom poms, ribbons, or any other decorations onto the waist of the tutu skirt. Hot glue or Gem Tac works well for this, or you can tack them by hand.

If the tutu is for a child under 3, please make sure that all decorations are attached securely.

The tutu is now ready for your favorite little princess.
