A friend of mine baked the birthday cake for my daughter’s ballerina themed birthday party. I sew a tutu for the cake. The inspiration is from Pinterest. It’s very easy to make. I sewed it with my sewing machine. If you are patient enough, you can sew it by hand as well.
First order of business: Know the circumference of the cake, in order to buy the material and sew the tutu to measurement.
Materials needed:
1. A roll of tulle of “desired” color. I purchased mine from Michael’s. Beware of the the sparkly tulle. The sparkles spread everywhere.
2. Ribbon
3. Thread
4. Sewing pins
Directions:
1. Cut few layers of tulle and the ribbon an inch longer than the circumference measurement of the cake.
2. Pleating the tulle, pin it on to the false side of the ribbon. Add layers as you wish.
3. Sew the tulle on to the ribbon
4. Dress your cake.
Happy Birthday to your daughter. You can check out other birthday party related posts under https://practicalmama.com/tag/birthday-party/.
This is such a cute idea!
I never thought of using tulle as part of a cake decoration, but as decor for a ballerina birthday cake, it couldn’t be beat. What an inspired idea. Great pics!
