Materials Needed: Yarn, hook, tulle, and ribbon.
The first thing I did was crochet myself a little belt. I can't crochet to save my life but I figure the nieces won't criticize the shotty job. I made my belt about 2 inches wide and about 22 inches long. They don't have much give in them when they are finished and I wanted to make sure that it would fit around my niece's 19 inch waist.
I cut my tulle in lenghts of 6inches wide by 30 inches long so that when I was finished the length of my tutu would be 15 inches.
I folded one piece of tulle in half and pulled it up through the front of the yarn belt about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom. I then brought the loose ends up through the loop and made a knot. This is the view from what will be the inside.
I alternated my colors all the way across the belt. When I finished adding all my pieces, I took an extra piece of yarn and tied the two ends of the belt together. I added one more piece of tulle at the seam and then I went through and randomly added 25 inch lengths of ribbon throughout. I tied a bow in the front and Voila! I had a super cute, easy tutu.
Good Luck and Happy Crafting!
