I told you last week I got to be apart of an awesome baby shower! The theme was "Sugar & Spice". We used hot pink and orange everywhere. It was so fun!!! I wanted to tell you about the fun tutu table skirt I got to make. I found the idea HERE on Pinterest. I wanted to show you how easy it was!
Supplies: {for a 12' round table}
- 6 yards of white tulle
- 3 yards of both orange and pink tulle
- 12 feet of white ribbon
- table-cloth hooks
- lighter
- scissors
- some sort of measuring tool
Directions:
- measure & cut white tulle into 2 inch strips
- measure, cut {quickly burn the end of the ribbon to prevent reveling}, & string up ribbon {easiest way I found to know tulle on}
- loosely knot each strip evenly onto the ribbon {this takes a crazy amount of time}
- space white tulle evenly across the entire ribbon
- go through and group a few strips so there is even spaces available along the ribbon
- cut the orange and pink tulle in 2 inch strips
- loosely knot colored tulle evenly across the ribbon placing several strips together to make the color bolder
- once all the strips are on the ribbon, move them around to even them out
- when decorating for the shower {or whatever event you'd like to use the tutu for}, stretch the tutu around the table, using the table-cloth clips, hook the tutu evenly to the table
- fluff, rearrange, cutesy up the skirt prior to the shindig {we also layered an orange-colored plastic table clothe under

Hello. . . I want to make this for my baby shower where do I get table clips from and how do I connect the tutu when its finished?
FUN! I found the table clips in the party section {I think at Wal-Mart}. I believe they are normally used for those plastic table clothes and mainly outdoors so it doesn’t blow away. I would suggest getting lots of them. I think I only used one pack and with there being lots of space between them, it tended to sag more than I would have liked. With more clips I think it would keep it straighter.
Come back and let us know how it turns out! 😀 What color skirt are you making?
