2. Sew elastic ends together. You can do this by hand or machine.
I used a ZigZag stich on mine
3. Measure from the waist to where you want the tutu to end and then double it.
Example: If you want the length to be 13”, you will need to cut the tulle 26”

4. Pull the elastic over your coffee can, or whatever round object you choose.
5. Tying the Knot! I am sure you can find tons of ways online to tie tulle on. I just played with it until I found something I liked. Here is what I came up with, a simple slip knot (shown above).
1-Gather in the middle 2-Slip under the elastic 3-Pull through loop 4-Tighten
6. Continue tying all the way around in whatever pattern you choose. I choice pink, white, pink white.
Tighten as light or tight as you want. Once again, play with it! I did the whole thing lightly at first…
7. Then I decided I didn’t like the loose look and tightened it up…
(Final Picture Coming SoonJ)
This looks so easy I am so going to make this for my granddaughter. Thank you for the idea along with several others I am going to try.
