This morning before church I decided it was a Tutu-rific day for some craft time! I have a few items waiting in the wings to be embroidered, but unfortunately they need to be washed first to avoided shrinking post-embroidery. And being that Jarred and I don't have a washing machine...they'll have to wait. So I dug through my supplies and found a bunch of fabulous tulle and ribbon. As I'm sure you've seen, tutus are all the rage right now so I decided to give them a shot! Here's my result:
Tutu #1: Go Tigers!
The waist size for this one ended up being a little smaller than I had hoped because I ran out of orange tulle. As it stands, it would fit about a waist about 16 to 17 inches..or about a 12/18 month old. Although there's enough ribbon to allow for some extra growth.
Here's Tutu #2...and I'm pretty much obsessed with it:
I used shimmering pink and green tulle. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it person, the sparkles really add to the cuteness factor. It's for a 20ish inch waist which is about a 3T. That or a 25 year old....if it's tied loosely.
If anybody wants one for their favorite little cutie, let me know. I could make them in pretty much any color. Visions of little girl birthday parties are dancing in my head. Wouldn't tutus be the cutest party favors?!
These are absolutely adorable!!! Way to go Mary Ellen! :)
