A Tutu-torial

I saw this awesome table idea on Pinterest (I know- shocking!).  The only problem is that it didn’t have a tutorial to go with it. So, this is what I came up with-

What you’ll need:

1.     A round side table (found at Wal-Mart for $18)

2.     White fabric for the table top (1/4-1/2 of a yard)

3.     16yards of pink tulle (I bought three different shades and divided it into 4 different pieces)

4.     Medium width white ribbon

5.     Scissors

6.     Staple gun

7.     Hot glue gun

How to put this adorable table together:

1.     Put the legs on the table and flip it upside down with the white fabric underneath

2.     Make sure the fabric is pulled tight and staple it to the bottom of the table top (about 2inches in)

3.     Cut off the excess white fabric

4.     While the table is still upside down begin stapling the tulle to the back of the table top by gathering a few inches and stapling it, moving over an inch, gather a few inches of tulle and staple. Continue around the whole table (in this picture I had not cut off the excess white fabric yet)

5.     Once you’re around the table do it again with the remaining three pieces of tulle

6.     Once all the fabric is stapled securely, flip the table over and trim off the excess fabric that is hanging on the floor. This will allow the tulle to poof out looking more like a tutu.

7.     Take the hot glue gun and begin trimming the rim of the tabletop with the white ribbon

8.     Once you’re around the whole table cut the ribbon. Tie a bow and attach it to the rim where the ribbon begins and ends.

Tada! You’ve got an adorable tutu table!
