How To Make a Tutu
If you have young daughters then I am sure at
some stage your little cherub has wanted to
dress up as a princess. Learning how to make a
tutu for your little girl can be loads of fun
for both of you and can also be very
inexpensive. You can also use your new found
talents and make lots of Tutus for your friends
children or even make some money by making
tutus as a small business.
The first thing you will
need to do is to decide what sort of tutu you
wish to make. Is this just for your daughter or
are you looking to make some money. If you are
starting out by making your little princess a
nice tutu then you can simply measure her up
and purchase the amount of tulle that you need.
I would recommend you run the tape measure
around the widest part of your daughters waist
and take a measure from there.
Once you have worked out
what length your daughters waist is double that
measurement and purchase your tulle
accordingly. That way you can double up the
material and give the tutu a light but full
body. You will also need some elastic which is
about an or shorter than the measurement of
your daughters waist. This will keep it nice
and tight and save it from falling on the
floor.
The next thing you will need
to consider is whether or not you are going to
sew your tutu. You can simply tie the tulle
around the elastic and tie the elastic together
or fire up your sewing skills and sew
everything together. If you tie the elastic
then I would recommend you also tie some tulle
over the knot to hide it from view and of
course put it in the back. You could also add a
nice bow to completely obscure the knot.
There are lots of accessories that you also
might consider when you make a tutu. Things
such as fairy wings, wands, hair pieces and
other items to add a little flair and bling to
your tutu.
