I was going to buy a tutu but they cost almost $30 here and I didnt know if the packaged one would fit. This is a great source and your directions are super easy. I used the ones for the layered tutu instead but alternated colors and just tied two of the same color together instead. <a href="http://tinypic.com" rel="nofollow"></a> Thank you so much for this!

The only problem I'm having is with cutting the tule. It never comes out nice and straight. Is there anyway to buy it pre-cut maybe? Help please! Your directions helped me so much.

Make sure you get the GEL though because the liquid will bleed through the ribbon and you will be able to see it. Not very pretty. Also, clean up any edges where the gel squeezed out when you press the two pieces together or it will dry to the next thing it touches. I use ribbon scraps to wipe it off quickly since I'm throwing them away anyway. :o) I use super glue GEL in making bows all the time and it holds fabulously! – dries almost instantly! – and zero bulk!

I then took and extra yard of the red tulle and folded it until it fit her back from wrist to wrist then cut it into a half circle. I sewed black felt circles to the top layer and pinned it to a black shirt. It came out great - the tutu helps keep the back in the half-circle and my daughter loves the tutu (and keeps asking for it, but she has to wait until Halloween). Now I have a request for a Tinkerbell tutu - but she'll have to wait until next weekend! I used your tutorial to make a red and black tutu for my daughter’s ladybug costume.

Her length is good, I made it 13 inches. I can now see that a heavier tulle might be better. I cut my stripes 3 inches, and I'm thinking that 6 inches would also help in it not bunch as much. Can you now tell me how to make a pom pom out of tulle? Thanks so much for your replay. Her length is good, I made it 13 inches. I can now see that a heavier tulle might be better.

ALso there are different textures of tulle. The softer bunches more easily. You may want to shorten the tulle length for her age. ALso there are different textures of tulle.

If I cut in strips of 6 inch wide and make them 20 - 24 inches long, will my tutu look that full? I think your pink and green one is perfect. I just look at the black one I have started and think it looks really transparent. I am trying to fluff. But, I'm worried. I bought off the bolt.
