Tu Tu Tutorial

Say that one five times fast.....

If you really did, it makes me happy to know I'm not the only nerd who gave it a whirl. So thanks.

Anyway, so thank you YOU TUBE for the sweet tutorial on these easy things. T baby's FIRST BIRTHDAY is coming, up, and I have envisioned a wonderful ensemble for her pictures!! And THIS beauty makes it complete. Thought I would share a very simple 'how to' with you!

Buy your choice of colors of tulle in a 6"x25' roll. Depending on the height of your little one, cut strips of tulle into equal lengths. (For my little babe, I cut 24 strips that were 21" long).
I decided about every third one, I wanted to do a different color. So I cut only 8 additional ones in lime green.
Measure toddlers waist, and add an inch. Cut that amount of elastic. Hot glue ends together.
Secure your elastic around a round object. (On the tutorial I watched, they used a roll of paper towel, but since I was trying to entertain my little princess at the same time, I used the portable fan in her bedroom. Hence the child in the background.) Fold the tulle strip in half, an tie a slip knot around the elastic.
Continue the same process until the whole elastic is full.

That is such an adorable idea... and totally something I could do!!! I'm going to have to try it out (and yet another reason we want to think baby girl, think baby girl).
