Do-it-yourself tutu skirt for girls

The skirt called tutu is one of the options for a tutu skirt. For sewing such a nice skirt, tulle of medium stiffness of different shades is used. Each girl in a tutu skirt looks charming and elegant.

The tutu skirt is most often chosen for a holiday, for example, for a New Year's party, for graduation, for a birthday, or on March 8th. Also, such a skirt is used for family photo shoots.

The smallest girls, along with a tutu skirt, put on a bodysuit or T-shirt. You can combine the most different tops for older older beauties with such a skirt - tops, turtlenecks, shirts, blouses, t-shirts and other options. You can wear such a translucent skirt with both tights and leggings.

To make a tutu skirt with your own hands, use a wide elastic band. Its width is 2-3 centimeters, and the length of the elastic is calculated by subtracting 4 centimeters from the circumference of the girl’s waist.

The tulle from which the tutu skirt is made is cut into stripes. The width of such strips will be 15 cm, and to calculate their length take twice the desired length of the skirt plus 2 cm. If desired, the edges of the tulle strips are cut with a corner. If you need a skirt for waist circumference of 50-60 centimeters, then for such a product you will need about 60-70 strips of tulle.

Although solid tutu skirts are very common, a product from tulle of several shades looks very interesting. If you want to make such a multi-color option, you should purchase cuts of tulle of different shades.

Necessary materials:

• Tulle, cut into strips.
• Elastic.
• Satin ribbon and other materials for decoration.

Creating a tutu skirt without sewing takes only 1-1.5 hours, and the process itself is so simple that any mother can handle it:

• Sew the ends of the prepared gum manually or on a typewriter to form a ring.
• Put this ring on a chair or a rolled blanket.
• Twist a small roll from each strip of tulle, find the middle and tie the twisted tulle around the elastic with a regular knot. You need to make sure that you do not squeeze the gum and at the same time tie the tulle so that its strip does not dangle. In addition, the ends of all cuts of tulle should be obtained after tying the same length, if you did not plan to make them different.
• Continue until all the strips are tied around the elastic.
