It was easiest for me to put the crochet headband around my thigh, and tie the fabric in loose double knots. If you're making a bigger tutu, you can use ribbon or elastic for the waistband.

Tip: Instead of cutting the strips of fabric, I tore them so it gave it a little more “rugged” look.

Keep tying knots, close together, until the entire tutu is covered.

Add some yarn, tulle, or other embellishments that match the costume.

I made the tail with several pieces of yarn braided together. You can attach it to the tutu with another piece of yarn, or even a safety pin.

The headband was made with a crochet headband, plus a flower glued on. Super simple! Just have fun and use your imagination.

Add a few little whiskers, and a brown nose with an eye brow pencil, and you're ready to go!
