The amount of fabric required depends on whether:
- Tulle, net or a combination of tulle and net will be used
- The length of the tutu will modify the amount of fabric
- The fullness of the tutu will impact the amount of fabric
– Lee Ann Torrans The Fairy Tutu
- For this Fairy Tutu Lavendar and Purple Net were purchased 1 1/2 yards each
- Lavendar and Purple Tulle were purchased 1 yard each

- 30 inches 1/4 inch black elastic

The Fairy Tutu
Net and tulle come in 54 inch widths
- It is easiest to cut tulle and net across the 54 inch width.
- The lenth of the strip will be twice as long as the length of the tutu.
- 54 / 4 = 13.5
- A 13 inch length will be the easiest and works for most tutus
Individual strips of tulle are net are knotted around elastic with a larkshead knot (which is a macrame knot)
– Lee Ann Torrans The Fairy Tutu Knotted Tutu
- 27 inch lengths by five inches wide
- Tulle and Net interspersed in varying shades of lavendar and purple
- Total number of knotted lengths: 40
The Fairy Tutu How Long to Make the Elastic?
- Long enough to tie a square not and leave some extra to attach a sash — if you want a sash.
- Place elastic around fairy’s waist.
- 1/4 inch elastic used here.
The Fairy Tutu Finished Tutu with Sash
Finished Tutu with Shihtzu and Ribbons tied in square knot around elastic.
This was totally his idea!
