Lori, I didn't look at the links recommended to you. The way I make tutus: Non rolling elastic, sewn together 1-2" smaller than the desired waist size. I use the rolls of tulle. Cut each strip twice the length you want the tutu to be. Fold tulle in half and make a slip knot around the elastic. Put on as many as you want. Put it on your child (or adult, lol) and watch them twirl!!
