Skirt tutu for girls do it yourself

The skirt, which is called tutu, is one of the variants of the skirt-pack. For sewing such a pretty skirt, tulle of medium hardness of different shades is used. Every girl in a tutu skirt looks charming and elegant.

The tutu skirt is most often chosen for a holiday, for example, for a matinee on New Year, for graduation, for birthday or for March 8. Also, this skirt is used for family photo shoots.

The smallest girls with a skirt tutu wear a bodykit or T-shirt. Younger older women with a skirt can combine a variety of top - tops, turtlenecks, shirts, blouses, T-shirts and other options. You can wear such a translucent skirt both with tights and leggings.

For the manufacture of skirts tutu with their own hands using a wide elastic band. Its width is 2-3 centimeters, and the length of the gum is calculated by subtracting 4 centimeters from the girth of the girl’s waist.

Fatin, 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 they take twice the desired length of the skirt plus 2 cm. If desired, the edges of the tulle strips are cut off at an angle. If you need a skirt around the waist of 50-60 centimeters, then this product will need about 60-70 strips of tulle.

Although monochromatic tutu skirts are quite common, a tulle product of several shades is very interesting and bright. If you want to make such a multi-color version, you should get cuts of tulle of different shades.

Necessary materials:

• Fatin, 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 is so simple that any mom can handle it:

• Sew the ends of the prepared elastic by hand or on a typewriter to form a ring.
• Put this ring on a chair or a blanket rolled into a roll.
• Twist a small roll from each strip of tulle, find the middle and tie a twisted tulle around the elastic band 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 tulle cuts should be obtained after tying the same length, if you do not intend to make them different.
• Continue until all the strips are tied around the elastic.
