Ladybug!
5:11 PM
You all voted on what you thought I should be for Halloween! And the winner is...
A LADYBUG!!
Here I will show you how I made my costume!
To make a tutu, you're going to need these three things.
Scissors.
Ribbon.
And tulle.
Lots and LOTS of tulle.
I used about 16 yards of fabric. But I wanted my tutu to be longer and I have big ol' hips. So there is room for adjustment.
1. You are going to need to cut a length of ribbon that will fit around your hips. Be sure to add a little extra so that you can tie it into a bow.
2. You now need to cut your strips of fabric.
I found it easiest if you cut off about a yard and fold it. It made cutting the strips so much easier. I didn't bother with measuring. I just estimated about three inch strips of fabric.
Once you have your strips cut, you are ready for the next step!
3. Take one strip of tulle and fold it in half. Lay it over the ribbon like so. You will bring the tails UNDER the ribbon and through the little hoop.
It should look something like this.
Then just pull tight and repeat the third step until your ribbon is covered with strips of tulle!
Now you're done!
Now you're done!
Add some black tights, and a black shirt and you're good to go.
Feel free to add some red accessories as well to spice it up!
And add another pop of red with some Chucks!
