Happy TuTu....Tuesday!

I am trying to do DIY and be crafty, I see the most beautiful things on Etsy and Pinterest and never cease to be amazed at the creativity of others!  When I was a kid, I was always making things....of course that was before work, motherhood, and all those other grown-up responsibilities!  But my urge to be creative is making me want to try.  So I decided to download a tutorial, and go for it, and made a handmade tutu!  It all starts with loads of tulle.....and maybe I used more than needed.....but the overachiever side of me peeks out from time to time ;-)

First was measuring and cutting....cutting, and cutting!!
Once the cutting part was finished, I had huge piles....over 120 strips!  Once that ws done, there's a special way ot tying them on in different directions, which was something I could just do in front of the TV ;-) .
Here are some progress shots along the way...


And in the end, it was worth every hour and minute, as I had one very happy fairy ballerina, ready to skip, run and dance!!




It was a great experience, and now I am ready to try another DIY project!

I got my instructions from AngelBabes Tutus.
