See how easy it is to make an Adult Tutu. You can wear it to a party, as part of a Halloween costume, or to show off your love of Pokémon with a Pokemon Ball Costume. The options are endless when you consider sizes, length, colors, and events to wear it to.

DIY Adult Tutu

I am a Halloween DIY costume person. I love to come up with simple costumes so that I can avoid buying a costume. Over the years I have made cows, a ghillie suit, several couples costumes, and many costumes for my children.

I let the children pick their costumes. As they have gotten older, they make their own costumes, but I assist with the supplies. Check out more DIY Halloween Costume Ideas.

This Tulle Tutu has come in handy and has been used in several costumes over the years. We have since made a black one, which has proven to be more versatile. My daughter used it as a ballet tutu for a performance.

DIY Tutu Halloween Costumes for Adults

Making a no-sew tutu for adults is fairly easy. The directions can be adjusted to make a plus-sized tutu or one for children.

You will need the following supplies:

• tulle
• ribbon
• scissors & measuring tape or a rotary cutter & mat

How much tulle do you need to make a tutu for adults?

Tulle comes in 6″ rolls. The most common is a 25-yard spool, which is available in all colors. 80-100 yards is sufficient for most adult tutus. I used 100 yards for my large skirt, which you can get in one spool for under $10.

How do you make a homemade tutu?

Making a tutu is easy!

1. Measure to determine size.
2. Cut strips of tulle.
3. Tie tulle to ribbon.

Is there a quicker way to make a tutu?

Save time by using a rotary cutter & mat to cut the tulle. If you do not have a rotary cutter, get someone to help you with the cutting. One person can roll out the tulle while the other cuts.

If this seems like too much work, order a handmade tutu from Etsy.

Can I make one with elastic?

Yes, you can measure a piece of 1″ elastic to fit around your waist and stitch or tie it to form a loop. Then loop the tulle around the elastic.

Stepping through the skirt is the best way to get it on.

Pokemon Ball Tutu Costume

Since I love playing Pokémon GO, I wanted to have some kind of costume related to Pokémon. I considered one of the many Pokémon that I like but ultimately decided that a Poké Ball would be the easiest. Pokemon fans should check out my free printables.

The red part of the Pokeball is a plain red t-shirt. The white tutu forms the bottom of the ball. The locking bar is made with a felt bet.

How to Make a Pokémon Ball Belt

Start out by measuring the length of your belt, which is the Poké Ball locking bar. Do this with the tutu on so that you get the right fit, including a bow to tie it in the back.

Cut a circle out of the black felt to represent the outside of the release button.
Cut a smaller circle out of the white felt to represent the inside of the release button.

Glue the white circle onto the center of the black circle.
Glue the complete circle to the middle front of the black ribbon.

Getting into the costume is easy. First, put on the red shirt. Next, tie on the white tutu. Finally, tie on the black belt.

How cute is that? I am modeling the outfit over black pants and a long-sleeved shirt because that is how I will wear it on Halloween when it is chilly out.

My daughter tried the costume on too. It is a long fluffy tutu on her, but still adorable.

This easy crafting tutorial can be adapted for various widths and lengths and can be customized with any color you want.

I am pleased with how the tutu turned out. My other homemade costumes include a transforming Pop-Up Camper, a couples’ S’more Costume.
