An Easy No-Sew Tutu
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

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.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    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.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    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.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Clip Or Hold The Ends Together & Sew Them. It Doesn't Have To Look Perfect Just Make Sure It's Secure.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Take Your Tulle & Cut It Into Strips.
    For This One I Used Bright Blue, Green, Purple, & Hot Pink.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    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.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Fold The Strips In Half & Loop It Around The Elastic By Pulling The Ends Through The Loop.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    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.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    Keep Adding And Adding And Adding...

  9. Step 9

    Step 9

    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.
