How to make a Ribbon Waiste

This is the one I made~ Make sure you scrunch your tulle together really well to have a really full tutu! Also, to add to these instructions since it isn’t listed, 6 inch tulle works really well, not the big tulle you find on the bolts. Premeasure your tulle out and it has to be about 22-24 inches in length so when you fold it in half, it hangs long enough. To measure your waist, make sure you measure your model and then take off about 2-3 inches of elastic..I know that sounds drastic, but as you put on the tulle and tighten it, it stretches the elastic out and makes it bigger..so if you don’t take down the waist size before, your waist will end up really big and you will be taking it half apart. Trust me, I did it twice.

Make sure you add some embellishments like sparkles or pom poms when your done! I added flowers to mine!

Oh, and if you are really adventurous….

WOW that is great, I was thinking about buying my daughter who just learned to stand up a dress from a boutique, they wanted like 25 dollars but I’m sure I could make one alot cheaper thanks again.

I cannot believe that this is so easy. I spent $60.00 on eBay to have a tutu custom made for my daughter. When I received it, I realized that I probably could have done it myself. Now, after reading your instructions, I KNOW that I could have done it myself. I was going to have another made for her 2nd birthday… not anymore… I’m off to the craft store this weekend. Thank you so much!!!!

Thanks so much for your help my SWEET 16 is comming up real soon and i was thinking really hard on something diffrent i could do and i decided that i wanted my outfit to involve a TUTU, but not just any TUTU, one of my own because i hardly ever buy my cloths and or accessories, i make them b/c i love being diffrent and since i could not every store that actually sells fashion TUTU’s want an insane price for them, i made the decision to make my own, and all the other websites give me the “run around” about a whole lotta nothing. I was just ECSTATIC when I saw your site. AND ONCE AGIAN ->THANKS!

Thank you very much for the great sites. I need to make a tutu for myself (a 20 year old) and could not find anything suiting online. I need a black and yellow adult tutu, and I don’t have a sewing machine, so the “no sew” site was a great help. Thanks again!
