No Sew Tutu




I downloaded a pile of pictures and I took a ton of photo's of all the crafts I have been working on. The most recent craft I did was a "no sew" tutu. My friend go the instructions for it off of a "U-Tube" video and so I decided to make both Ellie and Lucy one. I was hoping that I would be able to use them as Christmas dresses BUT Lucy HATES hers and Ellie spends so much time twirling that I think she would be dizzy the whole time! So pretend dresses they will be BUT that's fine with me BECAUSE I generally spend about $20 per pretend dress and I think with all the materials and ribbons I was at $18 for the pair.




The Materials are simple:

ribbon

tulle (4-6 yards depending on poofyness)

scissors


The instructions are just as easy:

fold and roll the tulle with the fold side in

cut into 4 inch strips

tie knots on ribbon (which is cut to fit the waist of the tutu wearer)


Simple. and easy and it's supposed to take a 1/2 an hour but somehow it took me longer than that (especially with the first one).


this is the link to the video which is helpful.



It was a simple easy craft. I had such a good time hanging out with my friend making them.
