On Tuesday I did a blog swap with One Crafty Mommy.  Wasn't it so much fun!?!  Well, in case you missed it, I wanted to post the tutorial here also.   

Today, I am going to show you how to make a very very SIMPLE TuTu and a fancy matching hair accessory!  Seriously.  This is so simple and there is no sewing involved!

It is easy to make, inexpensive, quick to finish and it is sure to make any little girl squeal with joy!  What a great project!

Here is what you will need:

(1) hair elastic / pony tail holder
(1) elastic headband
approx. 60' of ribbon  (I used ribbon that was 1.5" wide)
scissors and a measuring tape / ruler

For mine, I used two different ribbons but you can use 1, 2 or even more different ribbons, you will just want about 60' in total length.

Ribbon TuTu:

  • Cut 24 lengths of ribbon, each about 2' long (I angled the bottom of my ribbon).
  • Put the elastic headband around your legs to help keep it in place while you work.

(nice photo huh? 🙂
  • Tie the ribbons on the elastic headband so that both "tails" are about equal in length.
  • If using different ribbons, alternate them.
  • Continue to tie all 24 ribbon lengths on the headband. 
  • Voila!  Your TuTu is done!

  • If using different ribbons, alternate them.
  • Continue to tie all 10 ribbon lengths on the hair elastic.
  • Voila!  Your Fancy Ribbon Hair Tie is done!

    I&#39;ve done this with tulle, but never with ribbon! I love the soft, flowing look it gives - great job!<br /><br />Visiting from Toot Your Horn Tuesday!
