Every little girl loves playing dress up in a tutu- here's a super simple version that even kids can make. No sewing involved!
Materials:
1. Goody "ouchless" Adult Size Headband - they come in a multi-pack and can be bought at Target, Giant, Rite-Aid etc.
2. Tulle, ribbon or fabric - I prefer the 6" width tulle that comes in rolls from the craft store. Make sure if you buy ribbon it does NOT have wired edges! (You can make about 1 tutu with one 25 yard roll of tulle.)
3. Scissors
Directions:
1. Determine how long you want the tutu to be
2. Cut strips of tulle/ribbon/fabric 2x the desired length. About 40 cut strips of tulle are needed for a "full" tutu.
3. Tie each strip of tulle/ribbon/fabric in the middle - just by making a knot - all the way along the headband until desired fullness.
Glue (with Fabri-tac or craft glue) silk flowers or gems to the ends of ribbon
Tips:
These tutus can be completely and totally customized for your child. You can make them really full, or keep it simple. These make great party favors for birthdays, or a cute gift.
