Question

Can I make a no-sew tutu with elastic?

Katrina Grant

Community Answer

Yes! Measure the tulle and elastic exactly as stated above. Using a fabric glue, or super glue, generously apply the glue to both ends of the elastic. Making a circle with the elastic, press both ends together firmly until set. Continue to make the tulle skirt by folding your tulle strips in half and looping them around the elastic exactly how you would if using ribbon.

You could take green tulle and make a tutu, and on one of the pieces you could sew on a piece of black tulle.

Question

What do I use when I don't have tulle?

Community Answer

You can use ribbon, but it won't come out very fluffy like tulle would. If you have a Walmart around you then you should be able to get some tulle.

Question

How can I make a light-up tutu for Halloween?

Community Answer

You could try to either insert LED bulbs into the tulle or paint the tulle with glow-in-the-dark paint. Another alternative is to use one of these methods on an underskirt instead of the tulle itself.

Question

What kind of tulle is best for tutus?

Drew Hawkins1

Community Answer

Use spooled tulle for tutus because it requires less cutting since it's already the correct width to make a tutu.

Question

What is the crochet ribbon used for?

Community Answer

Some people use crochet ribbon to make the waistband. If you get some crochet ribbon that is a couple of inches wide, you can make multiple layers by looping the tulle through the holes.

Question

How can I make the skirt more puffy?

Rebecca CLARK

Community Answer

You can add more tulle when making it. And hang the tutu upside down when storing it so it puffs up more.
