Today, I'm going to share an easy tutorial on how to assemble a no-sew tutu using a pre-cut bundled package of tulle, a ribbon and scissors-THAT'S IT! I hope this tutorial comes across as easy as it was to make! Enjoy and feel free to pass it along!
(a) Bundle of Tulle - I purchased two 108" by 108" at Walmart. similar
(b) Ribbon - I used ribbon from my baby shower gifts.
(c) Scissors - From Office Drawer :)
Supplies:
(b) Ribbon - I used ribbon from my baby shower gifts.
(c) Scissors - From Office Drawer :)
Instructions:
- Measure your ribbon by tieing around your daughter's waist and marking or by measuring her waist and cut ribbon to size. Be sure to leave a little extra for tieing
- Lay one sheet of tulle out flat
- Vertically fold in-half
- From the bottom, up - Begin folding and flattening. This will become your preferred size strips (I chose 2-3in wide)
- Once folded, cut vertically along one side of your fold.
- Then cut vertically along the opposite side of your fold. (this will create several strips at once)
- Begin slip knotting your tulle strips around your ribbon - pull tight creating a secure knot
- Continue tieing your knots from one end of your ribbon to the other, pushing your completed knots close together.
- Depending on how poofy you would like your tutu will determine the amount of strips to add. The more strips you add, the bigger and poofier it gets. I used two packages of bundled tulle. You can always add or take away your tulle strips - that's what makes this method so awesome!
- Lastly - trim bottom to preferred length :)
this is great! I have a soon-to-arrive-niece and I am so excited to try this!!
