wonder woman tutu diy

as promised, here is part two of
[project bling #37]. how to make a wonder
woman tutu.

i understand it's fairly simple and not rocket
science, but i wanted to show the products
i used. i was pretty confused
when i was looking it up, there were so
many options that others were doing.

so now, i give you, a pain-free
inexpensive costume diy, that'll hopefully answer
some of the questions you have like i did


this is the star template for the tutu.
search in google 'star template' and choose
which size you would like to use. i chose
a smaller size because my tutu was small.
i traced the template on scratch paper [go green!]
and cut it out, so that i could
trace it on the felt paper.


i had a hard time trying to figure out what
other people were using for the stars on the
tutu. i tried to googled it, and felt paper rarely came
up. but it was the only thing i could think of.

the results from google were, iron-ons
[can't iron-on because the tulle will melt],
glued paper [um, no. that's just tacky],
and regular stickers [i couldn't find white star
stickers to save my life!]. but i got lucky and
happened upon exactly what i was looking for.

i went to joann craft stores on a mission
to find regular felt, lucky me, right below
the 'regular' felt was sticky back felt
called presto felt [shown above]. it was perfect!
call me crazy but i didn't know it existed!


now you can use your star template that
you traced and cut out and start tracing the
stars onto the felt. trace on the back of
the felt, the smooth side not the felt side.


more cutting. i cut out at least 35 stars
for my tutu to be covered how i wanted it to be.
but it was a fluffy tutu!.


it's kind of hard to see, but here are the
finished felt stars all cut out.


here's the untouched tutu, before sticking all
the felt stars on it.

i didn't make this tutu. i purchased
it at a halloween store. i did however, want
to make my own, but due to timing issues i
could not.


and we are done! you can stick however
many you want on the tutu to your liking.
mine does look excessive but when worn and
fluffed it was perfect! [see it on me in the
previous post, (project bling #37) at the bottom.
