Scraps of fabric
Thread
Hot glue
sewing machine
pom pom balls
card stock paper
ribbon
headband
pins
elastic {1 inch wide}
We are making
10 inch tutu out of tulle
&
10 inch tutu out of fabric scraps
Clown Hat
Wrist Cuffs
clown collar
For this tutorial I am sewing the the tutu
but
for the NO SEW TUTU instructions
One thing, I believe, is that all crafters must have a mannequin.
This makes my tutus look amazing.
Fabric Scraps
20 inches x 6 inches
Tulle
20 inches x 6 inches
we are making a 10 inch TuTu
20 strips per color
140 strips total
Elastic for the waist band
Ella's waist approx 19 inches
cut the elastic 17 inches
Ordered a Tank top from Old Navy
Suspenders from Hot Topic
Leg warmers from Knotty Baby Wear
Sew the waist band together
Slide onto mannequin
Take your first color of tulle
Place it thru the waist band like so
There are two strips, one on top of the other
Secure the tulle in place with a pin
Repeat
There are 4 strips of tulle in the photo below
Do the same with the next color
Repeat all the way around
After
slide the tutu off the mannequin
sew right under the waist band
Picture below shows what it looks like after you have sewn under the waist band.
Now pull all the pins and set this tutu aside
Now sew a new waist band for the fabric scrap tutu.
Take 1 scrap of fabric
and
place it thru the waist band just like you did with the tulle.
Pin in place
Repeat this process alternating your colors of fabric scraps
Sew under the waist band
Once you have finished, pull all the pins out of the tutu
Slide the fabric tutu back on the mannequin first.
Then slide the tutu with the tulle underneath the fabric scraps
Double layering your tutus makes them super fluffy
Making the Clown Collar
Cut 30 strips
12 inches x 6 inches
Use the NO SEW TUTU instructions for this part
Hot Glue the pompoms around the edge of the tutu just like below
Party Hat or Clown Hat
Cut a half circle out of your card stock
Then cut the half circle out of your fabric
Use Spray Adhesive to tack the card stock and fabric together
Fold your half circle into a cone and hot glue in place
Cut a strip 20 inches x 3 inches out of fabric
Pleat and hot glue into place on your hat
Do the same with some tulle strips
then hot glue some pompoms for added pizazz
Hot glue a large shiny pompom to the top of the hat
You can glue ribbon or elastic to your hat.
I am using a plastic headband
You can get these at any craft store
Wrist Cuffs
use some of your leftover fabric from the scrap tutu
the red and white stripes is 20 inches x 6 inches
the rainbow stripes 20 inches x 3 inches
Pleat and pin in place
Since Ella is only 2 years old she has tiny wrist so I cut the strip in half
Sew the strip down the middle
Hot glue the ribbon on the backside right down the middle where you sewn it.
Fold over and glue down
These will tie around her wrist
You do not have to fold over
