how to make a sparkly confetti tutu

how to make a sparkly confetti tutuI absolutely love throwing smaller parties- I don’t do it very often (haha), but I love it! The two best parts of a more intimate gathering? Creating actual place settings and going nuts with the favors!

The sparkly, confetti-esque tutu favors were such a hit with this lineup of cousins (Burke got a polka dot pocket t-shirt instead)- they’d also be a fabulous addition to a dress up trunk or a Halloween closet.

how to make a sparkly tutuTo make a confetti tutu, gather four yards of tulle, sequins and sequin adhesive, elastic and sewing supplies.

For each tutu (I made 3T, 5T and 6 sizes), lay out four yards of tulle and fold in fourths (mine was folded in half when I bought it, so I folded the half in half). Using sequin adhesive, glue sparkles along the open bottom edge (the folded edge will become the top of the tutu).

Once the glue is dry, sew a line of stitching about two inches from the folded top edge, creating the elastic casing. Thread elastic  through the casing (to find the elastic length, measure your tutu recipient’s waist and subtract an inch or two) and sew the two ends together, forming a tube. Don’t worry about the raw edges of the tulle- the fluffiness of the tutu hides them really well.
