Tu-tu cute!!

I made tu-tus for the girls as well, the tutorial I used is no longer available. This creative momma gave instructions with photos on her blog: http://july24tojuly24.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-make-tutu-with-photos.htmltojuly24.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-make-tutu-with-photos.html

Bless her for taking photos as she worked, it never occurred to me how handy those might be later! It can be a little difficult to picture the "ties" in your mind, but once you get the hang of it, you can knock it out in no time!

As always, this project is super cheap, and tu-tu cute! It can be completely no-sew. I did, however, sew the elastic waistband; there are ways around that ;) I used yardages of sparkly tulle from our local Wal-Mart. I'll never do that again. 6" rolls of tulle are available in a multitude of colors. I'm sure it's not quite as cost effective, but with small children and crafting during nap time and after bed time, I'm willing to pay a small convenience-fee :))

I hope to have a tutorial of my own [on the subject] eventually; I wanted you all to know that it is possible, and absolutley worth it! It would make a great gift or costume for any little ballerina-princess-fairy!

Bahaha...I just noticed they both let the same pant leg ride up, lol.
