Aidyn was with me on a Joann's run a few weeks ago and I had her pick out three favorite colors of tulle for the project. She had no clue what I was buying it for, but she loved helping me chose the colors. We ended up getting two yards each of blue, sage and light purple tulle. I also picked up some elastic and a princess wand to decorate. The wand was in their $1 bins.
Her birthday party is on Sunday, so last night, I got to work. Here are some easy how-to directions on You Tube:
The only think I did different was wrap a 60 inch piece of 1" wide satin ribbon around half-inch elastic (cut and sewn to the size of Aidyn's waste)..
The whole project took me about an hour and a half, start to finish. It was super easy to make, too! I packed in lots of tulle strips and really made the skirt full. I alternated the colors by tying on three blue, then three lavender and three sage and repeating. When I was finished, I only had about 6 strips of each left over.
I am so excited about how it turned out! It is going to look so cute on Aidyn and I really hope she likes it!
I like it so much, that I'm considering making a neon green, pink and black one for myself if my sister decides to have another 80s party for Halloween this year. I am loving the tutus!
