I was asked by many bloggers on how to make a tutu without sewing. I decided to take pictures to show you how simple it can be, since I have to make 20 of them. I will be repeating this process many times. Remember to donate to my paypal if you like it, donate icon on the right. 
First you need to get the netting material for Kamdar. Kamdar is much cheaper than craft shops. Next you need to measure your child. You need to measure her waist and her waist to knee. Emily waist is 47cm and waist to knee is 35cm.
| You need to place the netting material onto a table for cutting. |  |
 |
You need to double the waist measurement that will be 70 cm for my case. You measure 70 cm and cut. |
Next you need to roll it like what I have in the picture. Remember to roll it the right way to get 70cm strips. You need to measure 6 inches width to cut.
 |
Now for the waist, you cut 3 x waist measurement in length ribbon, for me is 47×3 = 141cm. Tie a knot at the waist length marker so you know where to start and where to end. Tie the ribbon to a pillow or a chair before doing the following. |
Here is how you tie it and it should take 20 minutes while watching TV. If you are doing a fairy tutu, you can mix the color. One white strip, one colored strip, one white strip, one colored strip…..etc
Hey here is the angel wing. I finally found a nice cloth to do the wing. Like it?

Vien: After you cut the roll, open up. It will be a 70cm strips. With those strips…you tie knots.

Zara’s mama: For the wings you need a hard wire. Shape it and glue the cloth onto the wire. I used UHU glue. Next put a ribbon at the center and tie.
