I have two nieces with birthdays this week! I'm not doing a homemade item for niece number 1 (there are just not enough hours in the day to do homemade for everybody...), but I did make this cute little tutu for the other birthday girl.
Her mom is doing a "dress up box" theme for birthday gifts this year and this tutu is my contribution to the dress up box. It's not too often that this mom of boys gets to make something so frilly and foofy. :) I didn't even have anywhere girly to display it for the picture, so it's hung from the very BOY shelf in my youngest's bedroom. :) Please ignore the light switch in the picture. It's hard to find spots in the house to hang a hanger on that have good lighting!
I just did the simple tutu where you loop lengths of spooled tulle around an elastic waistband. It's nothing special, and I don't even have a source to link to, since this idea is so pervasive on the internet right now. I've seen it a hundred different places.
I think it's cute, even if it's red and blue, not a more "fairy-like" color. I think my soon to be 2 year old niece will like it, at least I hope she does!

I'm sure she will!
visiting from tt&j. I love love love your tutu. The colors are so cute. I made one for my daughter recently and loved it. It was very relaxing to do :)
If you get a chance I would love for you to share this at my Friday link party going on now :)
