One set was a little stinky (per the reviews), so I just threw them in the wash and air dried - they were fine. All would get you down to around $3/tutu:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Blulu-Skirt-Ballet-Princess-Colors/dp/B01LVTOLKF/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1484072177&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=tutu+set" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Blulu-Skirt-Ballet-Princess-Colors/dp/B01LVTOLKF/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1484072177&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=tutu+set</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSW1DT2?psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSW1DT2?psc=1</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Princess-Tutu-Collection-Ballet-Favors/dp/B01M1O97C6/ref=pd_sbs_21_1?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=299MXQCWQYC2ATAG6NXW" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Princess-Tutu-Collection-Ballet-Favors/dp/B01M1O97C6/ref=pd_sbs_21_1?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=299MXQCWQYC2ATAG6NXW</a></p> <p>I made a tutu for DD's Halloween costume one year b/c I couldn't buy the right color, and it took longer (and way more tulle) than I expected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-a-tutu#post-2677202 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 12:06:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 2677202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I did the tie to elastic method - it was easy but a little tedious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-a-tutu#post-2677198 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 12:01:45 +0000 Mamaof2 2677198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: did you tie them to elastic or did you sew the tulle to ribbon then put on elastic? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-a-tutu#post-2677197 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 11:58:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 2677197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a Jo-Anne fabric nearby? They sometimes have 5 yards of tulle for $5, and almost always have tulle on sale for less than $2 a yard - don't forget to check the clearance bin and use a coupon for anything not on sale! Also see if the fabric store will give you a discount for buying the full bolt over by the yard.</p> <p>I've made a couple of tutus for LO and I *think* I used about 2-3 yards of tulle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-a-tutu#post-2677189 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 11:41:49 +0000 Mamaof2 2677189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How cheaply can I make 8 tutus?</p> <p>I saw some for $6 each - so that's almost $50</p> <p>They don't need to be fancy - just a prop for a party - kids are 6yrs old </p>
