I made a tutu!!

I'm so excited! It's a candy cane tutu!! It looks adorable on both my girls! Cost: $4.50 Time: 1 hour (is probably quicker 2nd time around since I know what I'm doing now)

Materials: 4 yds. tulle (I used 2 yds. red, 2 yds. white)

3/16" or 1/2" elastic

Measure child's waist and subtract an inch, cut elastic that length. Overlap ends 3/4" and sew together on sewing machine or by hand using a zig zag stitch.

Cut a big piece of tulle 20 inches wide(should be doubled over) by whatever the length of the tulle is. The side that is not 20 in. long you fold an inch or two over and keep folding it over. Then cut every 3 inches. This will make several 3 in. X 20 in. strips. I put elastic over my leg. You take 2 strips at a time, fold in half put fold under the elastic and pull ends through the loop, pull tight and tie a double knot. If this is confusing, google it. I read some online and watched a youtube video. Good luck! When put on, my tutu is perfect. If you don't want it very puffy, cut 3" strips. If you want it very poofy, cut 4" strips. :)
