Making a tutu!

Last week we went to get some family pics made for Father's Day. While we were waiting, we saw a little girl wearing the cutest tutu! My little girl just fell in love with it! I found myself doing what I always hated my mother doing...thinking "I can make that!" Well, I'd forgotten about that by the weekend since we just put our house up for sale. I've been running ragged all week from trying to get the house "in order." On Friday, for a little break, I decided to go over to GW and see what they had. Well, guess what I found? This:

Okay, so just the tule. I already had the ribbon, scissors and ruler. There were several yards here for only $2.99. When I saw it, I just scooped it up! What luck!

After picking my mom's brain on the best way to make one, I googled it and found this video.

E was so excited!!!


I began cutting the strips and she was making a very neat pile of them.


Her big brother even helped, too!

She ended up going to bed before I was done with it. But, the next morning it was waiting on her!




Since this was a thrifty find, I'm linking up to Rhoda's party! Go over and check other people's thrifty finds this weekend!

Love it, going to have to make myself some and one for Kyndal too, LOL! Maybe save some money too by not buying and more petticoats for Kristin Aune Photography! Thanks!

Your kids are adorable! I made a tutu a few months ago for the daycare girls my mom sits for and they always seem to be a big hit.

I wish I wasn't too old to make one for myself, haha! Great job on it - it looks great :).
