Easy Last-Minute Tutu

Need a quick, low-budget, last-minute Halloween costume for your little girl?

I just finished this cute hot pink tutu for my daughter's Halloween costume. Started and finished it during naptime; took me 40 minutes tops.

And here's the best part: it only cost me about $4 in materials!

What you need (these amounts are perfect for a 2- to 4-year-old):

• Tulle: about 3 yards (I used only one color because the store had no black tulle, but it's adorable with multiple colors together!)
• Ribbon: 60" of 1 1/2" ribbon (my daughter is 2 and this leaves plenty for a big bow in back)
• Scissors: you don't have to use fabric scissors if you don't have any
• Ruler
• Your hands!

I followed the simple directions from this quick YouTube video. Big thanks to my friend, Amy, who's making a whole slew of tutus for her daughter's upcoming ballerina birthday party and who not only shared the video, but picked up the materials for me! Now that is a good friend. :)

My daughter is going to be a dancing black kitty for Halloween and she is going to look dang cute in this tutu! What are your kids going as this year?
