"TU TU tutorial.."

o-kay ladies... dust off those sewing machines cause
Halloween is just around the corner & I have a super cute
costume or party-dress (in our case) idea to share:



~Holy-Ween Tu Tu~

this is all that you need:
go to Wally, Michaels, or any place with wedding stuff &
ask for Tulle. It comes in these little spools or by the yard.
You will need 1 spool of each color or 2 yards if on the spool.


next:
measure your little cutie-pie's waist
& sew (this took all of 15 seconds)


now:
measure out your 6 inch wide
tulle lengths to 30 inches long


ta da:
this is what you'll have in the end: 3 poofy piles


then:
do the same with matching ribbon (rick-rack would look sweet too,
but I didn't have any on hand..)


now:
tie tie tie- until you little hearts content! (don't make your knots
too tight- it takes away from the poof)


finally:
wait by the clock until time to pick up the one its intending for..... GOOD LUCK!!!
(I made one of these for Priss before Christmas last year with red, green, & white- then added jingle bells & ribbon- so sweet!!!! Also- I think these would look precious with red, black, & white for a ladybug costume too- I saw some wings @ the Dollar Tree the other day???? )
this takes 20 minutes from first cut to finish- so worth your time-
I promise!!!




p.s. I picked up some precious black & white tights @
Target
(I love you Target) that will pull this little Tu Tu into a complete ensemble for the many festivities that October holds...
