No Sew Tutu Tutorial
Step One: Choose the color(s) of tulle you want. I have four colors shown. You will need for an 18 to 20 inch waist at least 4- 8 yards of tulle depending on waist and length of desired tutu. If you are making an adult tutu you may need 12 + yards . The easiest method is using coordinating satin ribbon, the slipperyness of the satin makes it's easier to tie the tulle on . You can also use elastic, I prefer 1/4". For elastic measure waist, cut the elastic to exact size and after all tulle is knotted on and measurements add up right overlap remaining ends an inch if possible and sew by hand. Knot tulle over bare elastic.
Step Two: Cut out your tulle to your desired length in 6 or 3-inch wide strips. If you want a more flamboyant tutu that has a lot of flair use the 6-inch cut, for a softer look use the 3-inch cut. For ribbon make sure you have a good length on both sides of tutu to tie into a bow at the end.
Step three Below: How to tie the strips of tulle onto your ribbon or elastic. Fold one piece of tulle in half lining up the ends they don't have to be perfect, it will add interest. Make a "U" that peeps over the top of the the ribbon then with the remaining tulle below pull it over the top of the ribbon and thru the "U". Pull thru and down to make a knot. Sometimes I use a sliding motion over the satin ribbon once I have the tulle pulled thru to get a tighter knot giving the tutu more body and flair. Elastic is a little different you have to be careful not to yank on it because it takes the elasticity out, this is why you should wait to sew the ends together because the size of the elastic can be altered during the knotting process.
(Another way to pull tulle thru, it's just the upside-down version of the way I have done it above)
The knot should look like this.
Now your on your way to creating that fabulous tutu. I would set out your colors in front of you for easy access and watch your tutu grow into something amazing. Tutu shown is 6-inches in length when finished.

I love creating these tutu's they are easy and look really cool after you are done. Nothing like quick and easy and a great way to relax the mind:) I hope this helps anyone who wanted to make a tutu. If you have any questions please leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer it.
