Tools and materials

• Tulle - a thin fabric in the form of a grid - matte or translucent, shiny or with an embroidered (printed) pattern. In America, Tutu is made from nylon. It is very soft, safe even for small children. It retains its shape well and, importantly, is produced in rolls 20 cm wide, so it does not have to be cut into strips. If there is no ideal fabric, buy ordinary medium-weight tulle (soft does not create splendor, and hard is very prickly).
• The elastic should be wide (up to 3 cm) and dense. The length is determined by the size of the waist, leave a small margin for a knot or connecting seam.
• Satin ribbon for a bow or other decorations (beads, flowers).
• Ruler and scissors.

Calculation of the required material

A tulle skirt can be different in volume and length. According to such instructions, you can make both a short tutu and a skirt of medium length or even a long one, to the floor.

For babies, 15 - 20 cm and 40 - 60 rectangles are enough. Since each part is double, the maximum consumption of fabric for 60 fragments of 20 cm each - if the tulle is 160 cm wide, then 10 strips fit in a row, which means 20 will come out of a meter of fabric, and 3 m will be needed for a tutu skirt.

For adults, you should first decide on the length. You need to add 5 - 6 cm to tie a knot. Depending on the size of the waist and the splendor of the skirt, 60 - 80 strips will go to an adult model, although it can be all 120. Taking into account the width of the fabric, we calculate the amount of material according to the same scheme as in first option.
