[line]Cat Tutu[line]
1. Cut to size a piece of ribbon with room to tie around the waist. Mark each side were the ribbon will be tied around the child’s waist.
2. Take the tulle and cut it into long pieces according to your child’s height. My pieces were 7-8 inches in length when folded in half. So 14-16 inches total.
Next I used a combination of knots to secure the tulle onto the ribbon. I used two different types of tulle and a traditional knot and a slip knot to secure the tulle. This makes the tutu a little more fuller all the way around.
To slip knot, fold each strip of tulle in half. This should create a loop on one end and two loose tails on the other.Then take the halved tulle strips over the ribbon so that only a few inches of the loop stick out over the top. Then fold the tail ends around the waistband and pull them through the loop! Tighten and repeat until finished!

OH my goodness this is too adorable!!! Gotta make it for my little girl. Thanks so much for the tutorial!!
Thanks for visiting Krystal! Have fun!
Absolutely could not get enough of looking at your little one in her cat costume!! Brilliant! Completely over the moon for this. Sadly, my grandkids are all teens or in their early 20’s. So I will have to wait for great-grandkids to make something like this for one of them! (Luckily, I am young enough that that could happen before I get too old and crusty, LOL!) God bless and please keep doing what you do! We are better off for it!
