Late at night when I am sitting at the computer scanning files, after everyone else has gone to bed, I get a little bored. A couple months ago I happened upon a craft blog, which led me to another craft blog, and another, and another, and...well you get the idea. So I have been saving all these little things I wanted to try for when I have time to try them and I thought since I am just sitting here scanning and staring at the computer, maybe I should try some of the easier ones. So, I will probably be blogging some of the fun crafts I am trying out, even if some of them are epic failures!
I found the instructions for this super easy tutu at Treasures for Tots and decided it might be fun to try. I ordered some tulle from COD Wholesale tulle and it was super cheap (around a dollar fifty for a 6" by 25 yard roll). I already had some ribbon I could use so one night when I was working late I started making Olivia a tutu.
It was super easy, especially using the blogs quick and easy tulle cutting method! It was a little time consuming (1-2 hours-ish) tying every little piece of tulle around the ribbon, but since I was just sitting at the computer working, that was fine with me. I think next time I make one I will use elastic instead of ribbon so that she can put it on herself and I don't have to tie the ribbon for her.
I made Olivia's in red and black because those are our high school colors. I figured she can wear it to basketball games and I am also considering it for a halloween costume (pirate girl or something). I don't know, I just thought it was fun and cute. And Olivia loves it!
She likes to put it on and dance and run around the house. Trying a craft from the internet: Success!

I made a tutu for a Halloween costume when Addie was a year old. I think it's time to do it again. She wants to be a ladybug and I think this would be perfect. Thanks for helping me remember! I also LOVE this method for cutting the tulle! So much easier than what I remember doing! Thank you! Olivia looks adorable!
