RP from local, Tutu Tutorial?
in Crafts
Any favorite tutu tutorials out there? I need to make one for my daughter's halloween costume, Angelina Ballerina as the Rose fairy princess. lol... they can be so specific sometimes. So I have the mouse part covered. But my mouse needs a tutu. I was thinking of fluffy and shortish so it sticks out to the side like a ballerina. Any tips or tricks? I can sew so the "tie tulle onto an elastic band" strategy isn't necessary.
Thanks!
Re: RP from local, Tutu Tutorial?
If you want it to stick out to the sides, the most important thing is to do graduated layers, with the shorter layers underneath, use more layers and make them full.
I would probably make a series of skirts with a casing and elastic, and attach them to the costume in a few spots, one above the other, with the elastic bands on the underside if possible, and it will help it stick out more.
I make real tutus, so any more pointers I can give are probably going to be more work than you want.
I would be glad to help though...you can PM me if you have any questions (or a better explanation-lol).
My dogs were cupcakes a few years ago....I think that is still my favorite costume.lol
I just saw your daughter's costume with sprinkles, had to show you my costumes sans pups. Unfortunately the headpieces aren't there, but the one with the sprinkles had a cherry on top too.
Chinese Crested dogs...three of the hairless and one coated. They are pretty small, and absolutely love the attention from hundreds of trick or treaters. Since I sew pretty, but not too exciting dance costumes, Halloween is when I go all out with weird.
This was last year.
