Chances are if you're a {tight budget} mom and you have little girls, you've already made your little princess a tutu. If not, today is your day! This is the easiest, no sew, absolutely adorable creation!
What you will need: Tulle, Scissors, and a long piece of ribbon. Three things! Seriously, it's that easy!
Let's get started: Fold your tulle in half and measure (or eye it like I did) and begin cutting 1 inch strips.
Cut through the middle fold to make two strips.
Do this over and over again. I used three colors (one yard each): turquoise and two shades of green.
Stack them in somewhat of an order, but it doesn't have to be perfect.
I used a long piece of ribbon for the waist. You could use velcro but I think the ribbon is easier, plus you can always add to it as she grows. Tie a knot at the end of your ribbon to keep your tulle from falling off as you're working.
Gather your strips in tulle and fold in half. I used three green for the middle and one turquoise on the top and one on the bottom. I wanted it to be symmetrical so I stuck to the same pattern, you could mix it up as much as you want.
Tie a knot through the ribbon where you have the strips folded. Try to point the not downward to make it lay better.
Turn on a good Lifetime movie and keep on tying.
Hold it up to your princess to measure as you are going. I knew Khloe would be wearing hers for an upcoming photo shoot so I wanted it to be super full and fluffy.
And there you have it! From beginning to end it took me about 30 minutes to complete.
I got the tulle on sale at hobby lobby for less than a $1.50 per yard, plus I already had the ribbon. Total cost was less than $6.00. Now, go. Go buy that tulle and see just how easy it is to make!! :)
Here's the pic of Khloe wearing it during her photo shoot with Kayce Stork Photography. We LOVED how it turned out.
Soo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anyone suggest tying multiple pieces at once... much better than each one individually!!
