Ribbon Waist Tu-Tu {Give Away}

Remember the Tu-Tu Drive that I talked about last week. So here are a few tu-tu tips. 
First if you have tulle by the yard and not the spool here is how to cut it.
Keep the fold in your tulle from the original cut.  We are going to cut that fold off and that will make the length of your strips.  If you fold your tulle up keeping the fold in the same spot it will be much quicker and easier to cut.  Then use your rotary cutter and cut of the fold.

Now unfold it and roll it up. Think roll of wrapping paper. (You are rolling opposite of they way it was folder previously.) Then just cut that roll every 3 inches. You will have two strips for each cut.

Okay second tu-tu idea is to use a ribbon for the waist instead of elastic.  Measure out the ribbon to the waist size and add about  20".  Now center your waist measurement in the ribbon and tie a knot at both ends of the waist measurement.

Now add the tulle to the insides of the knots just like you would to the elastic.  Then tie the end together in a bow.

Super cute to have that bow their isn't it. Make sure you fray check the end of your ribbon.
If any of this is confusing let me know and I will try to clear it up.

Now for some good news for you.  I had a moment of crazy brain and did a double cut on the length of the ribbon.  I thought that's okay I'll just make a 6-12 month tu-tu.  Well the tu-tu drive is for sizes 2-10. So I have this super cute tu-tu that is baby sized.  What do you think I should do with it?  Did you say, "Do a giveaway!"  I thought so.  Okay I will do a giveaway.
