  • Tie the tutu in the back.
  • Decorate the tutu by placing dots of glue (with parchment paper behind the glue) and sprinkling the dots with glitter. Line the hem edge with glue and glitter.
  • Make small bows from narrow 1/8" wide craft ribbon and hand sew the bows scattered on the tutu.
  • Visit a craft store for a wide variety of stick on type decorations.
