Dress up-Wand

This is an old blind rod believe it or not.  It broke off one of our blinds and I have been looking for something to do with it.  I thought it fit in perfectly with the dress up theme I was doing for my step-sister.
I took the old rod, my hot glue gun, and all the pink ribbon I had in the house and set to work.

I cut off a part of the bottom of the rod because it was a little too long.  I then started at the bottom edge of the rod, and started adding hot glue to the ribbon and wrapped it all the way around the rod.  Remember to just add a small amount of hot glue at a time since it dries quickly.  When the rod was covered with the ribbon.  I made a big bow out of the same color pink ribbon.  I then hot glued that to the top of the "wand", there was a small flat part at the top which made it ideal for adding the bow to that spot.  I then cut multiple different lengths of ribbon in the other two colors that I had and attached them, so it had some flowy(sp?) ribbons coming down making it pretty.  I think it turned out really good and it took almost no time at all.  I'm quite proud of this one!

I found an extra small hot pink flower that I decided to add the middle of the bow last minute!

Tutu

I made my adorable little sister a tutu for Christmas since she loves to play dress up!

All you need is

Ribbon- 60inches

Tulle- 1.5 yds light pink, and 2 yds hot pink

Cut the Ribbon to 60 inches.  Tie a knot 20in in on each side.  The section between the two knots is where you are going to tie all the tulle to the ribbon.  Then you have two long ends to tie together around the waist.

Lay the tulle out so that is has the natural fold (just like it does when it comes off the bolt), roll up from the folded side so that it is a long roll. 

Cut the tulle every three inches,  Then you unroll them all and cut them all in half.  Take the strips of tulle, fold them over the ribbon and make a knot, around the ribbon. Continue this until all of the tulle is used up.  I then spread them out slightly along the ribbon.  This makes a very fluffy skirt!
