Quantity not included because it will change based on size, however you can see my notes below on what I used in mine. The tutu is really simple to put together and once you do the first couple of knots you will have it down and be able to finish it pretty quickly.

Very helpful tip about putting the elastic around a cereal box. This is a handy tutorial to pin for those times when you suddenly need a costume! I forgot I got rid of my cardboard stash in the move and needed to find something that would work quickly. Never a shortage of cereal in our house, little did I know it would also be my craft aid! This is absolutely adorable Kimber! And your daughter is rocking the posing, haha.
Oh she is something all right! She is absolutely the sweetest frozen in time. Unfreeze the frame and all that attitude comes right out at you, but really, girls are so fun. Thanks for stopping by! Oh this looks great! I will go and order my material and have a go with your method. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these posts. And your daughter is adorable, my granddaughters pose like that too lol. What a great tutorial!
Find scrap fabrics pieces that are at least 18 to 22 inches long and no less than an inch wide. The 16 inch strips were a little on the short side for my toddler, but I was trying to use up my scraps. I recommend making your fabric strips 18 to 22 inches long. You can always measure your child from waist to knee and then double that measurement to get an idea of how long to make your strips. Note: There were 50 strips in the tutu I made for my daughter. Also, varying the length of the fabric strips will give the tutu dimension and a more whimsical look.
The reason you want to cut the elastic so much smaller is because the tutu will stretch as you add the fabric strips. Overlap the ends of the elastic and use a zig-zag stitch to sew them together. Sew over the stitches 2or 3 time s. No-Sew Options: Use a hot glue gun to attach the two ends of the elastic. You can also use a safety pin. Determine if you want to make a pattern out of your fabric strips or just be totally random. I was fairly random with my strips because I had quite a few of some fabrics and hardly any of others.
I just did a single knot, but if you are worried about the knots coming undone then I would suggest tying a double knot. While the scrap fabric tutu I made was very simple you can do any of the following to change it up a bit. I definitely think I will have to make a few more of these scrap fabric tutus for my little girl.
