Supplies:
-Two rolls of 6 inch wide tulle (usually found in the wedding aisle)
-A roll of 1 inch thick elastic
-Scissors and a ruler
-A needle and thread to sew the elastic together
Steps:
Measure the waist of the lucky little girl you are making it for.
Subtract 3 inches from that number and cut your elastic accordingly.
Sew the elastic together. If you have a sewing machine, a zig zag stitch will work great, if not you can always sew it the old fashioned way.
Set your newly fashioned waistband aside and break out the tulle.
Figure out how long you want your tutu to be. I wanted mine to be 8 inches long. Double that number and add one (mine ended up being 17 inches). Cut a big stack of strips that length.
Now grab your waistband and we’ll start trying tulle onto it. You’ll fold your first piece in half over the waistband and tie a double knot on the bottom. Now the measurement should make sense: double because you will fold it in half and an extra inch for the knot.
Continue tying the strips of tulle onto your waistband until you have reached desired thickness. You can always cut more tulle if needed.
