Tutu's

You may remember that I ordered this tutu from an Etsy shop a couple of weeks ago. It took ages to get here and when I saw it, I knew I couldn't send just one for two little girls. I didn't want to order another one and hold up shipping my box, so I decided to make one.
I went to Joanns and gathered all the materials. I bought the rolls of tulle and just had to cut them to the right length. After that, you just tie them onto the elastic waist band along with some ribbon. I wanted to make them exactly the same (so there would be no fighting over them), but couldn't find the right colors or one of the big flowers used on the original. It took me about 2 hours to make it and it was super easy.
