Tutu Tutorial

Tutus


My daughter loves to wear tutus, especially for her birthday.  Fortunately they are fairly simple to make, if you know how. This easy to follow step-by-step tutorial is here to help with that.


  1. Gather your materials:
    1. Cardboard the width of how long you want your tutu (I like 6”)
    2. Spools of tulle.  The actual number depends on how full you want your tutu.  I usually do 2-3 spools
    3. Scissors
    4. Crochet Hook
    5. Stretchy headband used for toddlers

  1. Wrap your tulle around the cardboard.  Try to wrap the tulle so that it spreads the length of your cardboard and doesn’t pile up.

  1. Once you have the amount of tulle wrapped that you want, cut along only one side of the tulle.  I usually cut the entire spools.

  1. Using one piece at a time, fold the tulle in half around the crochet hook.

  1. Insert the crochet hook between 2 stitches along the edge of the headband.

  1. Catch your tulle with your crochet hook and pull through.   Tighten.

  1. Repeat along the entire edge of the headband, alternating colors if you have multiple colors.
