Just Thought I'd Make A Quick Tutorial. It Looks Like Alot Of Steps But It's Not Really I Was Just Being Thorough.
I Tried Explaining Things...If You Have Questions Feel Free To Ask.

To Make This Tutu You'll Need:
Tulle - 2 Yards Of Each Color But You Probably Won't Use It All.
Elastic
Measuring Tape
Strong Quilting Needle
Thread - I Use White
A Clip - Optional, I Use It To Hold The Elastic Together. -
Take Your Elastic & Measure It To The Length You'd Like It To Be.
This Is Usually A Waist Measurement That Someone Has Given Me Because I Don't Make These For Myself. -
Clip Or Hold The Ends Together & Sew Them. It Doesn't Have To Look Perfect Just Make Sure It's Secure.
-
Take Your Tulle & Cut It Into Strips.
For This One I Used Bright Blue, Green, Purple, & Hot Pink. -
I Stretch My Elastic Across The Back Of A Chair.
Or If You're Making A Small One, For Say A Child, You Can Stretch Around Your Thigh. -
Fold The Strips In Half & Loop It Around The Elastic By Pulling The Ends Through The Loop.
-
Keep Repeating Step 6 With As Many Colors As You Choose.
I'm Choosing To Use 2 Of Each Color To Make The Colors More Prominent. -
Keep Adding And Adding And Adding...
-
Here's The Final Product.
This Was Made For A 32 Inch Waist But Will Stretch To Much Larger.

Ooh!
I've seen a lot of tutu How-To's but this is the only one I've seen that explains how to do it with elastic waist bands.
Thanks for posting this, I've been curious!

Thats realy awsome, I wish I would have used elastic on the one I made a while ago, I just cut a long strip of ribbon instead

Yeah, I Tried Ribbon But The Elastic Seemed Easier & I've Found It To Be Especially When You Don't Know An Exact Size Of The Person You're Making It For.
