Rocking tutu x

A tutu perfect for street ballerinas <3

I decided to remodel an ugly old skirt lying around in my closet...

This is what the original skirt looked like.
Pin the skirt to create a silhouette you want.

Gather small bits and pieces of tulle together (or rip a piece out of a larger piece) and pin it onto the skirt.
Sew the tulle onto the skirt, and add more tulle.

Keep on adding more tulle- make sure that the volume is right, and add more tulle on areas that lack volume.
This is what the finished skirt looks like :D

Thanks for all your comments! :]

ummm approximately 3m of tulle was used, although I bought around 5m just in case... it really depends on how wide you want it to be.

best new take on a tutu, ever! looks like it takes lots less time than the traditional way of making a tutu, and is definitely more fun!
