Tutus!!!

After looking around on the internet, and finding tutu after tutu ranging from 25.00 all the way up to the 50 dollar mark, I decided that that was insane, and that with the help of youtube that I could do this own my own!  I was wanting several different colors for photoshoot props, and to fit babies.  Can you believe a baby tutu costs 50 dollars!?  There was no way I was going to pay 150.00 for 3 tutus!  So, I watched how to videos, made my list, and headed to Hancock Fabrics to stock up on tulle!  I made three for about 30.00, including the tulle, ribbon, elastic, and thread.  I was a happy girl.  Then I got to it!  These are my finished products:
Green (like Tinkerbell!):
They called this one "Woodland Fairy" on the internet sites:
And my pink/black one:

I think I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself!  Renea, let me know if you want to use them in Carly's pictures:)
