WHAT YOU NEED:
- ribbon (I used 2 yards of 1 1/2 inch satin ribbon)
- 4 yards of tuelle (I got 1 1/2 yards of three different colors - yes, I realize this equals more than four!)
- scissors
- ruler
First, start with one of your colors of tuelle. Put the folded end towards you.
Roll the tuelle up, making sure there are no wrinkles in it.
Use your ruler to help you cut the tuelle into three inch pieces. It doesn't need to be exact, but it should be close!
Un-roll the tuelle and cut the fold. This is for shorter tutus. If you want a longer one, you don't need to cut the fold.
Lay out your ribbon. I measured 20 inches in the middle of the ribbon and tied two knots.
Take your strips of tuelle. Fold it in half, putting it under the ribbon. Bring the two loose ends and pull them through the loop.
Pull it tight and push it towards the knot.
I did each color four strips at a time.
Continue around until you reach the other knot.
A-dorable!

This is a very cute way to tie them. I have made several tutus but they are a bit different. I like the idea of tying it onto the child...
