Are you thinking that your little girl's tutu is the same one that all of her friend have? Do you want to dress it up and make it look fabulous? You would think it would be complicated, but it's really quite simple to do. I have a few ideas for you that can take your little girls tutu and make it fit for a princess.

Of course you will need your tutu, some scissors, ribbon, a hot glue gun and a pretty embellishment such as a flower or cute pompoms. You can even add some crystals to make it super cute and give it more bling.

First, you will want to remove any embellishments, such as a bow that is already attached. You may use your scissors to do this. Please be careful not to cut any of the material of the tutu. It's best to leave a bit of the embellishment behind and just cover it up if you need to do so. You can find your favorite flower to go on your tutu at your local craft store. You can pick up some cute ribbon as well there that can match.

Secondly, you will take your ribbon and place it in the middle where you will place your flower. You can cut the ribbon to hang the length of the tutu or it can be shorter. I sometimes use two designs of different width to add a little pizzazz. You will then make a cute bow by folding the ribbon behind itself and then tying another piece of ribbon in the middle. Glue the ribbon in the front on top of the other ribbon that is hanging. After this, you will place your flower on top of the bow. You may skip the bow part if this is a bit of a task or if it doesn't go with your design. You may also add a bit of sparkle by adding a diamond in the middle of your flower. Every girl loves a bit of sparkle.

Now step back and look at your creation. Would you like more or is this just enough? You can always add some flowers or diamonds to the tutu itself at the bottom or in the middle, staggering them so they don't look so uniform.

Now that you know how to simply embellish a tutu, you can practice with more each month. Great places to find embellishments are your local craft store and even the dollar store. This will be great projects for you and your daughter and the holidays (such as Halloween) are even more fun thinking of great ways to decorate them! You can get cute things like spiders, ghosts or cute little black cats to put on the tutu. She will love being beautiful and celebrating the holiday at the same time! You can try out different things through the holidays and watch your friends that have little girls want to join in the fun of making their little girl cute tutus, too.
