Instructions

  1. Small tutu dvd

    Cut Tulle into half yard lengths. Fold the 1/2 yard widths in half and either measure 5 inches or so wide in cut. Instead of measuring, I used the width of a DVD case, which is 5 1/4 inches wide in between the layers and cut.

  2. Small tutu loop

    Fold each strip in half and stick the edge underneath the elastic in the opposite direction as where the fringe is going to hang.

  3. Small tute tie

    Stick the ends through the loop and pull it through and it will create knot. Repeat until all but two strips are used.

  4. Overlap the edge of the elastic over 1/2 inch and use a sewing machine to stitch. Tie the remaining two strips over the area that was sewed and evenly space the tied on strips on the elastic and you are done!
