Whether you consider yourself crafty or NOT, a tutu made from fabric tulle is the easiest spirit wear to make for your little one. It’s also inexpensive, too!
To make a fluffy tutu for your favorite gal, you’ll first need multiple yardage of tulle fabric in your team’s colors and a piece of 3/4 inch elastic sized to fit. For Ellie’s tutu, we used 4 yards of red & 3 yards of black.
Next, begin cutting 6″ x 22″ strips in both colors. Once the strips are cut, you can begin tying the tulle onto the elastic. To tie, fold the strip in half length-wise and place the tulle behind the elastic. Take the two end pieces over top of the elastic and pull them through the top loop. This will result in a knot on the elastic.
Keep tying and tying and tying until you reach the end of your premeasured elastic. Sew the ends of elastic together with a sewing machine {or by hand} and then cover your stitches by spreading the tulle over it. If you have some tulle left over, you may consider making a matching tutu for your best girl’s doll baby.
Add some leggings & a favorite t-shirt and you have an adorable outfit for your next football game.
By the way, dogs do NOT appreciate tulle.
Win or lose, she is ready for the game!

This is great! My roommate and I dressed up as Sophia Grace and Rosie last year and made tutus!
