Thanks! I'm glad people love my dresses!
Your videos and tutorials are absolutely the best I've seen. Lots of info, you don't go too fast. Thanks so much for sharing, you do beautiful work, I hope mine will turn out as good!
So helpful! Thankyou for the step by step with fine details like don't use the bottom hole and where to come out at. It was very descriptive and I feel I can really do it now! This is gonna save me a ton on my daughters tutu for her cousins tutu party
So easy and CUTE! Ive seen these dresses going for $30 but ill rather make it myself for my daughters photoshoot.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I made a tutu dress for my baby girl for her 1st birthday party by following your instructions. Your instructions were great, and the tip about wrapping the tulle around a pan to cut is solid gold! I wish I knew how to post a picture on here - I would share the dress. It turned out awesome. Thank you again!!! :)
This video is great!! I want to make tutu dresses for all 4 of our nieces that are going to be our flower girls. I like the idea of making them because I can match the colors. I was feeling so overwhelmed before I saw this video. I didn't even know where to begin... now I know I can do all 4.
So glad I found this video! I cant wait to make my baby girls birthday dress!!!!!!
awesome! Thank you for having this up. I love how you explain the process very thoroughly. I'm not much of a crafty person when it comes to making diy projects but the way you explained everything, it really helps.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really hope you enjoy making the dress
Thank you Sandy love all your tutorials you've helped me a non sewer create something lovely for my daughter.
Aww thanks! I try my best to help everyone learn how to create these dresses! I'm sure yours will trn out just wonderful
Depends on the length you want for a 2 yr old i use about 4 or 5 tubes of tulle total. But obviously if you are using 3 different colors you would have to buy 6 tubes 2 each color to make sure you have enough fabric. I'm sure the dress you make will be beautiful! Im happy to help!
One of the best tutu tutorials I have watched so far! Thank you so much!
Most adorable dress I've seen! Wish I had a little girl who could wear it! :)
HI Sandy,I am very happy to see your video,it help me to make a tutu for my little daughter for her Christmas costume. In my country, this is not very popular,most people buy it from foreign. So thank you very much to show how to make a tutu.
i went to ur site i love love love the abby caddabie dress! i also loved the geraffe looking tutu and bow. i want them all. lol
I thought it was so nice of you to take the time to show us....I'm going to make one for a baby shower gift. Thanks for the terrific idea!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!...My sister's and I watched it again this evening...smiles...I showed them over dinner...thanks again! www.stampinribbons.blogspot.com
Thank you!
Great video,thank you for all the wonderful tips.My Daughter would love one.Thanks again.Take Care regards Stacey
Your welcome! No I have not but I'm sure it could be done. Getting a satin slip to wear under the dress might be a good idea think they make strapless ones too.
@Chernelle im not sure i always buy them by the tube but for a 5t it would be around 150 yards.
OMG!! I've been watching your video, I'm just so in love, is the best making tutu dresses tutorial ever!!
I have a 2 and a half year old girl and I made her first tutu skirt watching one of your videos, and everybody love it!! specially my girl, and just took me 3 days to make it (could be lesser). Thanks so much for sharing ^ ^
Absolutely genius! Awesome job!
You can purchase the crochet elastic at hobby lobby in spools (like ribbon comes on). I used a serger and sewed the ends together. If you do not have a serger, you can hand sew it too.
So talented! Thanks for sharing!
it is about 3 inches top to bottom and 6 inches wide ;) fits sizes from like a 6 months to around 7 or 8. stretches up to a 24 inch chest.
Fantastic idea, Sandy. Thanks for the tutorial
Hobby Lobby has spools of this with their ribbon. I used my serger and sewed EASY TO DO!
@TheSnickerzzz im not sure what you are asking ;) the bottom row you put the tulle in each whole side by side
Absolutely beautiful!
You are a saint! Thank you so much! c: I wanted to make a costume for my little cousin this year, but couldn't figure out the tutu dress for the life of me!
thankyou for the tutorials sandy you make me inspire to make those ! love your other videos :)
Your welcome!!I'm happy I helped!
I love your Tutu on Etsy.. I made two, one for a 12 month and a 5 year old niece. The are beautiful....
AMAAAAAAZING...!!! Thank u for sharing..!! Def doing it for my Lil flower girls for my wedding...!!! Again thank yooooooooouuuu
Thank you so much to teaching how to make a tutu, it's helping me a lot to make one for my little girl.
One side of the flat surface should be the length of the tulle on your dress. Remember the crochet is 3 inches long so if u are making the dress for a 4 yr old which is 24 inches long from arm pit to ankle. You'll need to find cardboard that is one side 21 inches but the dress will shrink almost 2 inches as after the knot and the puffiness so you would cut tulle for 23 inches long .
Yep I'm actually working on a Christmas santa dress right now! I can tell you for a 2yr old ot cost about $ 23 to make if you get good quality fabric and believe me you want good fabri ;)
Thanks to your tutorial, I was able to convince my mom to get the materials to make one for my little sister after I made the fairy wings from another tutorial.
Im putting white feathers and on elastic band instead of Crochet top. Mostly red with some sparkly white strips in it probably I found some cool tulle with silver like dots on it. and im not sure how im making this dress completely so if I do a tutorial it will be on the second santa tutu dress I make!
good job Sandy. Why must some people criticize though!!!
I tell people to measure from the armpit to ankle or desired length and the crochet headband stretches a lot it would probably fit up to 6 yrs old. I know you can buy some bigger headbands online.
@TheSnickerzzz thanks! yes i would like to know the websites please!
you are so talented. Just made one for my friend who loved it so much!
Hi Sandy, your video was awesome and so helpful. I saw them at the flea market and wasnt sure how it was done.. but now I know how- thanks to you.. now I can make them for my twin great-granddaughters..they love to wear the tutus..again thanks
if you have an email I will send you a picture of the girls wearing them when I get them done..again thanks and have a blessed day...
That seems nice! I usually like the ordinary tulle tutu but this one is extraordinary! :) Nice job.
But I am not that crafty so I usually just buy the store-made ones.. the one from Energetiks Dance Wear is good!
The flower covers my 3 yr olds chest but honestly you could put something under it. One time I bought my daughter a top that had spaghetti straps I just cut the straps off. But you could just tuck it under. Or if you are good at sewing sew so satin fabric on the inside of the top.
Or u could maybe slip knot on some short peices of tulle to some elastic in little strips put the knotted side facing the neck so that the end of the tulle if facing towards the shoulder in like a fan shape ;) there are more different ways but I could type forever lol!
aww your very welcome I'm happy to help!!
Thank you for sharing your talents. The instructions were easy to follow. I just finished one for my granddaughter in red. How long do you cut the satin ribbon to tie behind the neck for an average 3 yr old?
You can also measure your chest and just use elastic instead of a headband and just slip knot strips onto the elastic
@jessica2010reeves hi yes you can put tulle straps. do you mean two separate straps or halter strraps? im putting a new vid on here tomorrow on how to put different styles of straps.
Thanks! have fun making it! I do!
Thanks! Put the first 2 layers on bottom and then I would do the next 2 layers red
If you know the exact measurements of chest you could use regular yarn. I just google search chest measurements for toddlers and babies there are several to choose from ;)
This is a great tutorial--love this tutu
@Calicaro Tyree thank you! im happy to help!
very nice idea..thank you for sharing...
Sandy , can you please do a tutorial on how to do an empire waist tutu dress. The one where the tutu is tied around the waist elastic band with a ribbon wrapped around it. Thank you! Love your tutorials
best tutu tutorial so far! thanks
@Snickerz you know how they measure fabric by the yard and they cut it. I had brought 4 yards of each color I was going to use
there are several different ways to do this. You could take 3 strips of tulle side by side to desired length of a shoulder strap sew on somekind of cute button to each side I have used flower buttons that are are bigger than the holes in the crochet headband. Put a botton each end of the tulle and just button on. Now for really ruffled look I would take some elastic and some tulle and sew some tulle on the elastic like scrunch the tulle up so its ruffled. And do the same button technique.
Thank you! yep its soft nylon. good luck!
Thanks! I get them either at Hobby lobby or on Ebay ;)
1. Use good quality Nylon Tulle the Ribbon Retreat.com has good tulle and also Offray brand from Walmart. 2. Use good sharp scissors and cut straight clean cuts frayed edges make it seem like velcro lol. 3. After I make a tutu I like to put it on my lamp shade which I put back on the actual lamp and comb my fingers through each strip while spraying a mixture of fabric softener and water. I also like to rub some lotion on my hands no too much but some and comb my fingers through the tutu. ;)
Your awesome... Thanks for teaching me to craft better!
thanks for your prompt reply :) to make an ankle-lenght tutu princess dress, why the measurement is start fr armpit to ankle and not from tube (crochet headband) to ankle? tq
Wow, too cute. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks.. never knew how to make a tutu till now.. Thanks.....
Beautiful Tutú. Looked for Instructions for my Crafts. Thanks!
Thank you :)
you are pretty amazin to learning other people how to make those cute dresses ..thank you :)
Sounds awesome! I would either in the back put 2 strips of tulle in each hole and do many layers like you said ;) and ill be honest not sure how many yards of tulle i would guess 175 yards each one?
Hi thanks! I think you would need about 100yards of tulle to have a 3 layered puffy dress.
Awesome tutorial!
i want to make a headband tutu dress 20inches long with four colors how many strips and rolls of tulle do i need for each color
Hi I wanted to know would a crochet headband work on a 5-6 year old child? And also can I start from top of headband so that it doesn't show?
LOVE IT!!
How long i should do for a 5 year old girl
I thank you so much for your tutorial I live in Australia and it's very hard to but tule and ribbon at the one or two craft shops we have it's rediculous let alone any education on how to make anything I've been looking up ways to make my daughter a first birthday outfit and now thanks to you I can make a mummy present that we can keep forever thanks again
how much do they ran for something like this.
Hi Sandy, with the crochet headband, after you've made the tutu, do you find that it has stretched? & what do you do to help eliminate it from stretching please?
By the way, AWESOME work! :D
I would say measure the length from under her armpit to the pert of the leg you want the dress to fall to (or measure from the bottom of the arm hole to the bottom an existing dress that she already has so you know what length it will come to) then double the measurement as the tulle is folded in half
Hi! I love this tutu. Can you tell me a way to make 2 distinct color layers, as in black on the bottom and red on the top instead of interchangeable. Thanks!
@TheSnickerzzz it can get exppensive it cost 20 to 35 dollars to make a 4t dress. i like to give my customers 3 layer dresses and high quality fabric.
Thank you for making your video so easy to understand. Can can use a lined crochet top and if so do I use it the same way?
Hi! yes you can used a line top the same way its just not as easy. Its harder to feed the tulle through. Thank you!
Very smart thinking!!! How long will it take to fill the holes?
Hello
What I do on the Belle dress is braid very long strips of tulle loosely and glue or sew it down to the tulle draping it around the dress and then glue a flower in several diff areas on the braid and I have a video on how to to do straps ;) I will be honest its not the easiest dress in the world to do! being a perfectionist i like to take my time and make sure I drape the braid evenly around the dress! Thanks
how do you make sure you are making it the correct size ? or can you just cut off the excess once you're finished?
okay say you wanted to make these for high-school girls what would you use or could use instead of the crouched headband ??? because we would need something bigger for the waist/back and can this be used as a skirt
Thank you! Im happy I helped!
Thanks! It is about a 2yr old and cost around $ 26
Headband width stretches to 20 inches around chest and as small as 13 inches height is almost 3 inches from top to bottom of headband ;)
Thankyou for making this video its just what I was looking for. :)
you woul have to use a longer headband tube top that is 6 inches long instead of 3 inches and make longer strips
Thank you for showing us how to do it. 😁
Thanks for posting the tutorial it will def be helpful for my attempt at one. How much for all the supplies? curious if they are cost effective to make. Have you made a "christmas Santa tut dress"?
Thank you! your welcome!
@vondella crawford yep all the way around ;-)
great video!!! buuuut the glitching and skipping at certain times is really annoying...keeps being during points that i need to see specific details. not just my computer, sent it to a friend who had the same issue.
Thank you so much....I can make my new little girl dresses that are just hers your very clever :D HUGS thanks for your wonderful tutorials
Yes I use soft tulle. Yes I think using two strips per hole would work fine I think it will turn out almost about the same ;) good luck
