If you're willing to make an exception to the no-sew approach, a few stitches are a better option. For a ribbon tied waist, cut a length of ribbon 1. Cut a few dozen strips of tulle that are double the desired tutu length measurement. Repeat the process with more and more tulle strips, scrunching them together as you work, until the tutu is as full as you desire. With a ribbon waist, wrap the ribbon around your baby's tummy and tie the ends into a bow at her back or side.

How to Make a Hooded Cape for a Wedding In some craft stores or online can buy rolls of tulle that are 15 cm 6 inches wide and very long. You can use one of these rolls and cut 37 lengths, each 50 cm 20 inches long. Then halve each piece lengthwise so you end up with 74 strips, each 50 cm x 7. You'll need to buy a roll of at least 19 meters total length or Obviously don't worry too much about being really precise as the rolls aren't going to come in that exact length, I just want to give you a figure so you know approximately how much to buy!
The rule of thumb is that however long you want your final tutu to be the tulle strips need to be just over double that length, because the tulle will be folded in half and knotted. So if you want to make a small tutu for a baby then use shorter strips of tulle. For a newborn to six month old, a tutu length of about 6 to 7 inches looks good, so you'd need tulle strips that are inches long. Equally if you want a longer tutu skirt you'll need longer strips.
Tutus make great homemade gifts for kids and for an older toddler you might want to make the tutu about 12 inches long, so you'd need tulle strips about 24 inches long. To start, I cut my length of tulle in half and then in half again, resulting in 4 pieces that were 50 cm 20 inches by cm 55 inches across. I rolled the tulle up lengthwise into a cm 55 inch long sausage use a large flat surface and books to keep the tulle together as it does like to uncurl.
You'll end up with strips that are 7. Because we doubled the tulle in the beginning, each cut will result in two strips.
Tip: You'll notice tulle fabric is more stretchy in one direction than the other. If you want your tulle strips to all sit evenly then you need to cut the strips along the direction of the tulle that is less stretchy.
If not your tutu strips might appear curly, and the strips won't sit as evenly resulting in uneven puffiness of the skirt. My friend's daughter's waist is 50 cm 20 inches so I wanted to make a tutu that would fit her now and into the future. I chose to cut 43 cm 17 inches of elastic. In hindsight I could have used 40 cm 16 inches and I think it would have been perfect, but I guess she'll fit it for longer.
Once you've chosen the length you want cut a few inches less than their waist size , sew the elastic ends together to form a loop of elastic.
