Fluffy No-Sew Skirt
I sure enjoy an inexpensive and easy project that takes under a couple hours– like this no-sew skirt!
Materials: 2 or more rolls of tulle, elastic, a piece of cardboard, sharp scissors and ruler.
Step 1: Measure around the waist with elastic.
Step 2: Tie a knot to mark the diameter you need, then put the elastic on a piece of cardboard.
Step 3: Measure 14" of two colors of tulle, layer on top of each other.
Step 4: Tie a tight knot on the elastic.
Step 5: Keep making your tulle layers and knots.
Step 6: After you make each knot, slide it close into the previous knot. Voila'… a big fluffy skirt!
It's fun to make a tulle skirt! I just might make one for myself…
The back is pretty cute too!
My little girl loved it.

Oh this is precious! I made these for my girls for their birthday party (their birthdays are 2 weeks apart) and I made the INSANE decision to make one for every girl that came to the party! Now that took me awhile but it was fun and I love that this is so easy! You did an amazing job and I love the look on your little girl’s face! So sweet. And I love how fluffy it is!
Oh my I love this idea….how easy is that. And to think my daughter is a ballernia and I spend ooodles of $$$$ on her tutus!
happy monday my friend. xoxo
What a great idea! I would never have thought of this. It’s so simple and inexpensive. Thanks for sharing!
Oh this is great! even i could do that!
Thanks

I love the color combination you picked!
This is ADORABLE! I can’t wait to make little tutu’s for our little lady!
Super cute! I have three nieces that would probably love one of these…
Cute tutu! I love making tutus so fun!
Super cute idea, I am forwarding to a friend that has daughters! Lots of them…..LOL
So cute!

Would love to feature you as a guest blogger & share this fun project.
My e-mail is gczbowie at yahoo dot com & just put “gingersnaps” as the subject, & I can give you more detials. :)
So cute, I’ve seen a similar idea before but kinda forgot about it. BTW I love your little profile pic photo frame, so you:)
I did this exact skirt for my daughters fairy party. They turn out so cute. The girls were in third grade. So I had pre-cut the tulle and placed it in a basket. We also had a fairy wand making station.
They could make their very own fairy skirt & wand!
What a great idea – I saw tutu’s at Costco and I had to steer the cart the other way or else I would have bought two for my little grand nieces – this is a project that their mom could do – thanks for the idea :D

Such a cute skirt! I have a house full of boys so I don’t think I’ll be making one anytime soon, but it good to know how just in case:)
Malia! This is super cute! I had to view this away from a certain little girl in this house… She would have me making one in every color combo she could imagine if she could see this!
Thanks for linking up to Making It With Allie! I can’t wait to see what you have for next week!

OMG Malia, little Mia is getting so big and grown up!!! She’s absolutely beautiful! I love this idea. I am going to do this with Peterboy’s step-daughter, she would LOVE this!
The skirt is adorable and Mia is simply precious!!
I love this project! It makes me long for the days when my girls enjoyed running around in frills and bows! I’m going to have to keep this post under my cap for when my baby niece gets a little older! Auntie Jenn will be a tulle tying fool, and loving every minute of it!
Thank you so much for linking up to “A Little Birdie Told Me…”!!
