Marine Corps Tutu...

Remember my "ball gown" from last year? ;)  Here's a little more about it...
 

Last year, I decided to try my hand at tutu-making.  Tutu shops are a dime a dozen online, which translates to me as, "if everyone else can do it, so can I!"  And I was right.  Super easy.  Super cute.  And only about $15 to make.

I started by cutting many, many strips of tulle.  I used about eight yards of blue and two yards of red.

 
Then I used fabric glue to "stitch" a piece of elastic together to use as the waistband.  I don't sew. 

After that, I looped all of those many, many strips of tulle all the way around the elastic.



Easy, mindless knotting turned into this stunner!  Ta-da!
