DIY Tutu
I shared with you that I ran my very first Cupid’s run. When thinking about what I would wear I decided to make a tutu. I was really surprised how easy it was.
I used 6 yards of tulle in red and white. You can choose any color that you’d like. I also bought elastic. I put the elastic around my waist and cut it about 2 inches smaller than my waist. I wanted to put it on easily, but not have it hurt.
I cut each piece of tulle about an inch to inches wide. I folded it in half and made a loop.
Hold the loop over the top of the elastic piece.
Bring your ends up and under the elastic and pull it through the loop.
Pull tight and move closer to your other knots.
I alternated the colors and learned not to squeeze them to tightly together. The tighter you push them together the more full your tutu is.
I was really happy with the result. Now, it was a very easy method, but also time consuming. Next time I’ll make it while watching a movie or something 😉
Have you ever made a tutu? Let me know if you do!
I have never made a tutu but you may have inspired me to try.
I had no idea it could be so easy! Thanks Donna!
Oh cool, I love this! I think I might have to have a go at making one for myself now 😀
This is so cute, my daughter will love it.
What a cute and easy idea! Thanks! 🙂
Wow that sounds so easy. I have bout tutus and paid so much money. I will have to try to make my own. My daughter loves her tutus.
It is a bit time consuming, but I’m sure the more you do it the easier it becomes. I love that you can customize it 🙂
Looks fantastic and is so easy…my type of DIY project!!
I have not had the need to make a tutu yet but when I do I know where to go for instructions! 🙂
