Looking for a way to make a tutu for your doll without sewing? I've created a tutu for Addy.
What you need for this project:
- a doll
- scissors
- ruler
- elastic
- hot glue gun
- tulle/netting/mesh fabric
Let's start with our elastic.
Wrap a piece around your doll's waist. Make sure you leave a little extra overlap.
Hot glue the elastic together. (This is what the overlapping part was for.)
It should fit nicely around your doll's waist.
Cut a piece of fabric 1 foot long.
Cut it into 1 inch wide strips. (Each piece should now be 1 foot by 1 inch.)
Fold the strip in half so a loop is created at the top.
Lay the strip under the elastic with the loop at the top.
Feed the bottom of the strip through the loop wit the elastic in between to form a knot. Pull tight.
Continue to cut strips and tie them to the elastic band.
Here is a finished tutu.
Addy is excited to start ballet!
Here are some fun facts about today's post:
Addy and her dress are from American Girl.

Hope Harman from All Things Doll nominated me for the Blogger Recognition Award. Thank you, Hope!
Here are the rules:
- Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers
- Comment on each blog that you nominate so they know
- Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night
My story:
When I first started looking at doll websites and blogs, I thought they were really cool. I had so many crafts and ideas that I wanted to post about. So then I decided to create my own blog. On May 31, 2014, my blog was created.
My tips to new bloggers:
1. Get your name out there. See if blogs you like do guest posts. If they do, send them a craft, photostory, etc. Have them give a link back to your blog. Chances are, many people will come to your blog and see all the awesome stuff there!
2. Follow. Follow the blogs you like on Google+ .(if you have Google+) They might follow you back. Then, people who visit their Google+ page or blog, might see your picture and come visit your blog.
I nominate:
The Salty Breeze
The dollies on creamsicle street
Emily and Friends
Thank you again, Hope!
