Ballet Week: How to Make a Doll Tutu and Special Surprise!

 Today for Ballet Week, we are going to make an iconic tutu! Though they are not worn to class/practice and pretty much only used for recitals, they are a symbol of ballet worldwide. (And since these are dolls, they can wear their tutus to class if you want!

 You'll need:

• Scissors
• Ribbon
• Tulle/sheer fabric
• Doll (for sizing)

 1. Cut your fabric into long strips (about an inch longer that your doll's leg, or mid-shin for Barbie/other fashion dolls).

 2. Take your ribbon...

 ...and tie it around your doll, leaving enough so it can be tied in a bow. Snip it.

 3. Begin tying your strips onto your ribbon, having the close together.

 And you're done!

Tie it on your doll. If you have a ballet leotard, that's awesome, but one piece suits and gymnastics leotards work. And you could alway use a shirt, too!

Now... Time for the SPECIAL SURPRISE!!!!
