Cute DIY Bracelet 

I found this cute little and easy tutorial on Pinterest and I cant wait until I can actually make something like this for myself and sisters! 

Shamrock Tutu

What you will need:

1 1/2 Meters green tulle (for a 5 month old)

10mm thick elastic (length will depend on your childs waste)

scissors 

Puffy decorative Shamrocks (I bought mine at the Dollar store)

First measure the waist and add about an inch extra for the knot 

Tie Knot 

^^ Your elastic should look like this now 

Next you will need to cut your strips of the Tulle the length and width will depend on what you are looking for out of your TuTu I did approximately 1 1/2 inch thick by 1 1/2 feet long (don't forget you will have to fold the strips in half to attach to elastic)

^^ all of the tulle cut into the strips 

After all of your strips are cut fold your strips in half and loop through the elastic to attach the tulle to the elastic. Continue without stretching the elastic to much or you will make the elastic to big for your child. It will stretch slightly so you don't have to worry about it being to small once the tulle is on. 

This is what the TuTu looks like after you add the tulle all the way around. I only bought 1 meter of the light green and made this to longer than I usually do so I ran out and had a little bit of the darker green from a TuTu I made for Christmas so I used about 1/2 a meter to fill in the wholes but you should be good with 1 1/2 meters of tulle for a baby.

Then take Shamrocks and sew them on equal parts away from each other. There you have it a beautiful bright green TuTu for St. Patrick's Day!!
