My friends, I was overcome! Overcome, I tell you! I found this tutorial to make no-sew tutu and I couldn’t resist because not only is it the cutest thing EVER, it is also the easiest thing ever! A project that appeals to both my vanity and my laziness all wrapped up in a quick and fantastic craft that made my daughter ecstatic. The result:
A close-up. There are some ribbons to spice it up a bit.
Truly, this project was so easy I may start making them as gifts for other little girls we know. I had enough left over from the first one to make a slightly smaller one. I think I could make a lovely one with less tulle than I used in the first tutu – I packed the tulle really tight so it would be extra poofy, but even half of what I put on would probably still make a sufficiently poofy skirt. So there you have it. You have the recipe for a fast, easy and relatively inexpensive craft that is guaranteed to make a little girl in your life happy. You’re welcome!

Beautiful tutu.
We used this concept for my girls 5th birthday party. We had pre-cut strips of tulle, pieces of curling ribbon and other ribbons ready to tie on to the waistbands. We helped the girls make their own tutus and then they danced around the house like princesses. Not only did they look great, they all had a take home gift!

From someone who wishes she knew how to sew,I think it is fabulous and certainly does not look easy, but I’ll have to believe you!
Avery is adorable! How perfect to enjoy being a girl.
You are an awesome mom.
