How to make a tutu

This lesson is part of the series: Make Fun Apparel For Little Girls, They Will Love!

Most little girls love tutus. I have made a very simple to do tutu instructional video. Even if you have no sewing or artistic abilities, you can make this tutu for the little girl in your life. The tutu in this video is for a 2-3 year old,but you could adjust to fit any size. Teens and adults love tutus for special parties or clubbing. A tutu is great for dress-up and even a costume party.

I am a mom, wife and artist. I love to craft and sew and I also paint. My favorite items to craft are for small children.

You made it so easy!

My 7th grader and her friend made two of these for her little sister. They watched your video and the tutus turned out just like you showed - your instructions were perfect and made it so easy. Thanks!

I love this idea! Most ballet studios make the parents buy their kids' outfits. I don't even think I had a tutu when I was that age. My older sister always got the best picks. Anywho, this is a great way to avoid sister rivalry and make tutus for babies, tutus for toddlers or even tutus for adults!

Thank you for your wonderful comments!I usually use a dab of fabric glue, you can also stitch them in place after the glue has dried if you are worried about a choking hazard.

How do you attach flowers or sequins?
