This is another Tutu Skirt I made for 2-year-old girl, details in How to make a No-Sew Tutu Skirt. Making Tutu Skirt or Dress is easy and inexpensive, everyone can do it only if you are willing to spend few hours on it. After learning the basic techniques (that I am going to show), you can customize the color, the style or add any decorations on it, specially design for the child's fairy dress up party, Halloween costume, Christmas party, Birthday party..... Basically, you only need two major materials, they are tulle ribbon and 1/2" wide elastic. 1) Measure the waist of the kid, and cut the wide elastic to the length that minus 1" to 2" for the waistband of the tutu dress. 2) Overlap the two ends of elastic by around 1/3" and sew it with needle and thread. 3) Cut the length of tulle ribbon, but what should be the length? The distance from the waistband to the length that you would like to have, then multiply by 2 and add 1" on it. 4) If your tulle ribbon is the whole piece, you should cut it 3" wide. But the tulle ribbon that I bought is in a roll, the width is suitable for making the tutu dress. 5) Everything is ready, let's start! 6) Place the elastic around the back of chair or something that similar to it. 7) Fold one strip of tulle ribbon in half (that is the reason of mutiply by 2 in length, step 3). 8) Tie a knot around the waistband (that is the reason of add 1" in length, step 3). 9) Repeat (7) and (8), and put the second knot next to the first knot. 10) Squeeze the knots tightly after making four to five knots. (my practise, seems much faster) 11) As reference: Waistband: 19" Tulle ribbon strip length: 15" (I cut the length of 31") Tulle ribbon strip used: 90 pieces Here are some tips in How to take care of Tutu Skirt / Dress Recently, I use leftover tulle and ribbon to make a princess cape for my daughter, it is really a simple handmade craft, sure everyone can make it too!

Our 12-year-old daughter is really getting into drawing and painting at the moment, which makes me so happy! I’ve always been more of a ‘maker’ and she has very little interest in the crafts I enjoy, so her recent interest in art is bringing me so much joy. I love experimenting with resin art, and one of the most inexpensive ways of adding colour to resin is by adding coloured mica powders. I purchased one of these sets of Wtrcsv - 56 mica colours last year, as an affordable way of quickly stocking up on a wide selection of resin colours. My daughter spotted them and she loved how they sparkle and shine - some of them have a real, shiny, metallic quality to them. Last summer, like most people, we had to cancel our holiday because of the COVID-19 pandemic and so I made a list of family activities that we could do together at home. One of the activities I came up with was to make our own shiny, metallic paints out of school glue and mica powder. We were then to paint rocks and leave them around the park for people to find and take home. I was hoping that once they were dry, we would add pretty patterns to them, with Posca Paint Markers but my daughter loved the shiny colours so much, that she insisted that we left them as they are. While we were mixing the mica paint, and seeing how captivated she was by the colours and shine, I started thinking that the mica powders would go much further as a watercolour paint ingredient, so I decided to do some research. I found quite a few tutorials on how to make watercolour paints out of mica powders and gum Arabic - both liquid and solid. They all seemed to involve mixing a large quantity of mica powder and gum Arabic, for long periods of time, with a kind of palette knife on a sheet of glass or ceramic tile. They then skilfully transferred the shiny paint, drop by drop, into several paint pans. I’m not about to go into production and so I wondered if there was a way of accurately making much smaller quantities of shimmering watercolour paints inside the pot itself. That way, there would be significantly less waste, clean up and I would be much more inclined to make lots of different colours. I haven’t done much watercolour painting, but who knows... maybe I might even have a go myself! To accompany this blog post, I've also made a summary video, which gives a slightly better idea of how the paints turned out- After a little bit of experimenting, I came up with this very simple method of making shimmering, watercolour paints; there’s also a bit of fun science too, which children might find fascinating. Materials needed to make metallic, twinkling watercolour paints Mica powders Liquid gum Arabic. I used Jacksons liquid gum Arabic - if you're in the UK, this works out a lot cheaper. Glycerin or honey (optional) 3g screw top, clear plastic pots Permanent marker Digital scales - accurate to 2 decimal places Small spoons or scoops Cocktail sticks Large plate or mat to protect your surface. I’m using a pizza plate, but whatever you use needs to stand up to being soaked in water, to clean off the gum Arabic. The mica colours come in these resealable plastic bags. Unfortunately, it’s not the most practical of storing methods, but it does mean that you get a wide selection of colours inside a relatively small box. I’m using these 3ml, clear plastic, screw-top pots. They’re mostly designed for cosmetics, but they are also a nice size for making sample pots of watercolour paints. Write the name of the colour on the bottom of the pot in permanent marker so that you know which colour to make if you run out. I’m also thinking that these will double as colour swatches for my resin craft so that I can quickly see which colours complement each other. With the pot on the digital scales, turn them on and weigh out 1g of mica powder - I’m always very surprised by just how much powder 1g of mica is! Flatten down the mica powder with the back of the small spoon and add between 1.2g and 1.5g of liquid gum Arabic. Don’t worry, it’s virtually impossible to measure it exactly. (I should point out that most recipes for watercolour paints recommend adding a small amount of honey or glycerin. I didn't add it to the first batch of watercolours I made, but once I finished one 60ml jar of liquid gum Arabic, I added 6g of glycerin to the second full jar. The glycerin or honey are supposed to improve the rewetting qualities of the dry paints and prevent them from cracking.) Leave the gum Arabic to soak into the mica powder for 20 minutes. You can, of course, be getting on with measuring out more mica colours into different pots while you wait. Once the gum Arabic has soaked into the mica powder, stir it with a cocktail stick. You need to take care to start with, as there will probably be some dry mica powder around the edges. Draw the dry edges into the centre slowly to mix it with the gum Arabic. I discovered that mica powder and liquid gum Arabic create a non-Newtonian fluid (a fluid that doesn’t obey Newton’s law of viscosity, and changes to being more liquid, or more solid, under stress) which is very pleasing. If you stir it around you get a kind of clumpy mixture, but if you stab it quickly with a cocktail stick, it starts to turn to liquid. It’s difficult to tell from the animated gif, but this shows me repeatedly stabbing it with a cocktail stick to turn it into liquid. Use a combination of stirring and stabbing to combine both parts together. If you’re able to stab it to the point that it becomes liquid enough to cover the base then you’ve added enough gum Arabic. If you’re struggling to get it to the point where it’s an even, level liquid covering the bottom of the pot, add a drop more and keep stirring and stabbing. Once it gets to this stage, you can slam it on the table a few times, which both helps to liquify it more, and get rid of any bubbles. Then leave the lids off for 48 hours until the liquid has evaporated and you’re left with shimmering, metallic watercolour paints. I made a colour chart of all the different shimmering shades I'd made with the mica powders. The ones with an asterisk before the name had a tiny bit of glycerin added to the liquid gum Arabic. I can't say that I noticed a difference in the quality of the colours once they had dried, but I did notice that the colours with glycerin added didn't need as much water or mixing with the brush to rewet the paints. I think I may add a little more glycerin next time to see the difference that makes... I’m by no means an expert with watercolours, but here’s a card I made for my parents’ wedding anniversary using these shimmering watercolours, liquid latex and Tonic Studios Nuvo gilding flakes. It’s not perfect, but I’m sure they’ll love it. I do hope you’ve found this post useful. If you have, please pin this image to Pinterest. It makes a big difference!

***WELCOME to everyone visiting from Pinterest! This tutorial went viral and we sincerely hope you enjoy it! When you're through, click HERE and you can view all of our other free tutorials for children's clothes!*** If you are like us, you are *obsessed* with Pinterest right now. lol. We are always looking on there for new ideas or techniques to use in our pattern shop and that is how we hit the scrap fabric lotto this weekend! If you are like us you have an obscene amount of scraps from all of your sewing projects. What to do with all these scraps? I don't know about you, but I can only do so many patchwork outfits. Cue Pinterest and this adorable pin I came across. Photo Courtesy of LullabyBird on etsy.com Ummmmm...how cute is this? Its a tutu made of fabric! Best of all, it doesn't require large amounts of any one fabric so you can be totally *crazy* (watch out! lol) and use a bunch of different fabrics for an eclectic look, or you can used a few of the same fabrics if you want to be matchy-matchy. This tutu is so fast to put together and...its NO-SEW! This tutorial is for all our fans who can't sew. You're welcome. lol. Maddy's Scrappy Tutu Difficulty Level: Beginner Materials Needed: Fabric Scraps 3/4" Non-Roll Elastic Needle and Thread or Sewing Machine (just to sew waistband) Pinking Shears Size of Strips to Cut: 12-18 mos.- 3" x 19" 2T-3" x 20" 3T- 3" x 21" 4T-3" x 22" 5T-3" x 23" 6-3" x 24" Note: this is supposed to be a shorter fit. If you would like to make it a specific length, take that length, double it and add one inch for tying the knot. For example, if you would like it to be 10" long, you will add 10"+10"=20" and + 1" for tying the knot= 21" long strips. We recommend cutting the edges with pinking shears so that they do not fray. Number of Strips to Cut: The number of strips to cut will vary per person. Some people will tie a knot tighter than others or squish them together more on the elastic. These are just suggestions as to how many to cut. I fit 40 strips on a 3T perfectly. 12-18 mos.- 36 strips 2T- 38 strips 3T- 40 strips 4T- 42 strips 5T- 44 strips 6- 46 strips Length of Elastic to Cut: 12-18 mos.- 17.5" 2T- 18" 3T- 18.5" 4T- 19" 5T- 20" 6- 21" Step 1: Take your elastic piece and make a continuous loop, sewing the ends securely. This is now your waistband. Step 2: Put your waistband on a mannequin. If you do not have a mannequin, a roll of paper towel, your thigh, or anything like that will work. It will allow you to tie your fabric strips onto the waistband so much easier! Step 3: We can now start tying on our fabric strips. I perfected the tie about halfway through making this so a few of the next pictures are mixed up, but you will learn how to tie the perfect knot. We will be using the double knot technique rather than the slip-knot. First, we will put our first strip around the elastic, making sure that both ends are of equal length as pictured at left. Now we will tie the first knot so as when finished, both ends will be pulled outward in opposite directions with the right side of both fabrics facing up. Now we will take both ends and cross them with the left side being on top of the right. The right sides of the fabric will still be facing up. We will take the end that is crossing on top towards the right and pull it up between the knot we first made and where these two ends are crossing. When we pull it through, pull both ends in opposite direction going vertically. The top piece will have the wrong side of the fabric facing out and the bottom piece will have the right side of the fabric facing out as pictured. We can now bring the top piece down so the right side of the fabric is facing up. Make sure both ends are equal and facing completely out. Here is an up close of what the knot should look like after we get it all adjusted. Step 4: As you add and finish strips, move them together with the other finished strips. They don't have to be squished together tightly. The fabric ends up being very poofy so there is no need to squeeze them in too tight together. Use this pic for somewhat of a visual. Note that I am also showing you that you do not need to tie the knots super tight. The elastic should not be folded at all. If it is, your knots are too tight and the elastic will become mishapen and stretched out. When you are done adding all the strips, your skirt should look like this! I added a few strips of double ruffle ribbon that I had on hand for a little extra embellishment, but I saw some really gorgeous ones on Etsy that used lace and other things so get adventurous! Since this has raw edges on cotton fabric, we highly recommend just spot cleaning. If you were to throw this thing in the washer I would NOT want to see what it looked like coming out! lol. I used pinking shears to cut all the raw edges to hopefully hold off the crazy fraying, but that is part of what makes this so cute and fun; the fraying will add character and whimsy. If you really don't think you can handle making one of these yourself, don't feel bad. Just head on over to Lullaby Birds on Etsy and she will be MORE than happy to make one just for you at a very reasonable cost! We hope you enjoyed Free Tutorial Tuesday and we would love to see your creation! Share it with us in our Flickr Group or on Facebook! And just one more of my daughter who LOVED wearing her newest "dress". lol. Happy Tutu Making! Shannon and Tiffany
