A Berry Berry Princess

Wow! You guys had some great ideas for quick princess costumes! I wish I had posted earlier! I ended up finding a tutorial here that seemed easy enough. And after a trip to Hancock and Michael’s, take a look at my little Strawberry Princess…

Is she cuter than cute?! Ack! She was so excited to be in that princess dress. I promise I did not make her pose like that. When I said, “Let me take a picture”, she did it on her own! She was waving that little wand all over the place.

I thought about doing a tutorial to show you how to make that skirt, but honestly, if someone stumbled across this blog, they might think I actually do stuff like this all the time—WHICH I DO NOT. So, I’ll just give a brief tutorial sans pictures and see what you think.

Step 1. Buy (or scrounge around in your bathroom for) this.

Step 2. But at least 2 yards of tulle. I bought 2 different colors, 1 yard each. Honestly, another yard would have been better.

Step 3. Cut the tulle into strips about 3-4 inches wide. They should be double the length you actually want the skirt to be. (The dark pink tulle was shorter than the light pink. I had to cut the light pink in half and I left the dark pink as is.)

Step 4. Tie the tulle onto the elastic hair band. I just pulled it all the way through, the way you would a string on your finger. Then tied it in a knot…well, not really a knot, just that first easy step of a knot. Does that make sense? (See, this is why I do not do tutorials…or crafts.) I alternated the colors and even tied on a few pieces of ribbon for fun.

Step 5. Spread out the knotted-tulle until it’s even around the skirt.

Step 6. Wear.

Bonus Step 7. Go to Michaels & buy princess crown.

Bonus Step 8. Also get the pre-made magic wand.

Bonus Step 9. Cut out some strawberries from scraps of fun-foam you have at your house. Glue to crown and wand.

And for all you frugal mamas out there, you’ll be happy to know the total price on the skirt, crown & wand came to $7. Not bad.

Oh, and a picture of the birthday princess. Is she the sweetest 4 year old ever?!

    That skirt is beyond darling. I have been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to tie that in to my Daisy Girl Scout Troop next year…

    There has to be SOMETHING that would require adorable tulle skirts.

    She’s a lucky little girl!

    Cutest girls in the world!

    So cute. That’s pretty much how I make them. Although, I buy 12″ wide tulle, so there is a lot less cutting!

    Check out tutucutebaby on etsy for examples of the dresses. I’m waiting for an occasion to make one for my daughter.

    Oh….your Strawberry princess is just divine! I can’t get enough of her. I think I just might use your step by step as a craft for my daughter’s princess birthday party! Love it!

    she’s so cute! That smile kills me. I want a girl so badly, even tho I don’t get into the “princess” stuff much, I know it’s hard to resist when you have a willing participant!

    And yes, she is absolutely adorable!!!

    Natural Sex Pills For Men are a highly potent mix of all natural ingredients including herbs and other nutrients that not only increase blood flow to the penis but also helps enhance testosterone levels in your body. Another very important aspect they work upon is the nitric oxide production in your body. Such pills boost nitric oxide levels in blood which allows blood vessels to dilate resulting in increased blood flow to the erectile tissue. This ensures harder and stiffer erections.An increasing number of women are now opting for Sex Pills For Women that can help them enjoy more fulfilling sex. Such pills not only help boost sex drive or libido in women but also help them overcome other sexual enhancement such as vaginal dryness.Some of the herbs and natural ingredients used in such pills include ginseng, black cohosh, epimedium sagittatum, ginger root, licorice root, damiana, tribulus terrestris, red raspberry, melatonin, niacin etc.
