Q&A for How to Make a No Sew Tutu

You'll need tulle, something to make the waistband, and scissors. You can use elastic for the waistband or follow the guide and use a ribbon.

Most tailors will tell you to use the measurement of your waist minus 1", because it stretches. It is up to you and how loose you want the skirt to fit. Once you thread the tulle on the elastic, you will need to sew it together. I recommend overlapping the ends and sewing a box to give more support.

It depends on the number of supplies and breaks you take. But generally, it takes anywhere between 1hour - 2 days.

It is avaliable at any fabric store, or you could use other fabrics, but you won't get the same effect.

You can buy the materials at Wal-Mart or Jo-Ann Fabrics. You can probably buy them from many online retailers as well, check Amazon or eBay.

It's not anything you're doing wrong; the flat tutus are professionally made and are very difficult to replicate.

It depends on your personal preference, but 1-3 inches should be enough. You don't want it too thick, or else you can't tie the tulle tight enough.

I say 1foot would be long enough. If you want it longer, try 2 feet. It depends on how tall the person is.

You would take both ends of your tulle stripe and bring them together, therefore folding it in half.
