So lots of people on FB and SCS were asking me how I made Ava's tutu, especially since they know I don't really sew. It requires no sewing!!! MY kind of project!
I got the idea off of pinterest and THIS blog.
All you need is a stretchy headband which I got from Hobby Lobby for 79 cents and tulle. I got two spools one of dark purple and one of light. It could be done with just one spool. The spools were like $1.50 each at Hobby Lobby half off (everything at HL goes on sale if you wait!) So the tutu was less than $4 with tulle left over! (more than enough for other projects, like her headband).

To make the tutu cut 56 strips of tulle (I think). Mine were 24 inches long because they would be doubled so 12 i nches and I want this tutu to last for pictures the whole year. If you don't need it to last that long you can adjust accordingly. You then tie the tulle to the holes in the headband. VERY easy! Trim up when finished if necessary and viola you have a cheap cute tutu. I see more of these in our future!
Let me know what you think! I think her Halloween costume is going to involve a tutu!
