Mostly I followed the instructions using
this tutorial. I did use 3 colours of tulle so I have some left over. I also found a you tube video which explains a really easy way to
cut the tulle . Personally I think that the elastic waistband is a better choice for dress up wear (which is heavily used around our house). The first tutorial said to measure around your child's waist and subtract 3 inches and that worked well for us.
I am going to be cutting tulle yardage today to make another one for my niece this time and I will use the roll and cut directions in the video to do it. I also did the double knots as in the first tutorial and not the slip knots in the second. I just know that the slip knots would get pulled out around here.
I think it took about 40 minutes or so. Once I clued in to lay all three rolls one on top of the other and cut three colours at once it went much faster LOL.
I embellished with a bit of cheap ribbon (I heat sealed the ends) interspersed throughout the tulle at the very end. Niamh thought she looked very pretty and that is what counts in the end
