Potrebno vam je:
-
til (za Eminu je utrošeno 2 m tila)
- gumena traka (ja sam koristila širinu 3,5 cm)
- makaze, igla i konac
- šljokice, ukrasne trake
Izmerite struk i isecite traku da bude nekih 15 cm duža od potrebne dužine (kasnije ćete skratiti). Izmerite željenu dužinu suknjice, pomnožite je sa dva i dodajte još 10 cm (ako želite da suknja bude dugačka 30 cm, to će biti 30 x 2 + 10 = 70 cm). Ukoliko koristite tanju gumenu traku, umesto 10 cm dodajte manje. Secite til na trake izračunate dužine (u ovom slučaju 70 cm). Moje su bile široke 10 cm, možete praviti da budu i uže i šire.
Presavijte traku od tila na pola i stavite je ispod gumene trake, tako da u donjem delu imate omču, a u gornjem dva slobodna kraja. Slobodne krajeve provucite kroz omču i zategnite, da dobijete čvor kao na slici. Nižite čvor do čvora sve dok suknja ne bude dovoljno gusta (to je prepušteno vama, možete napraviti da bude više tila, pa onda odstoji onako kao prava baletska suknjica, a možete i da bude manje tila, onda lepše pada).
Kada nanižete dovoljno čvorova, ušijte traku (dobro, lagala sam, ipak treba malo da se šije), odsecite višak i to je sve! Možete na suknjicu nalepiti ili ušiti šljokice, dodati ukrasnu traku oko struka - od volje vam!
Ovo je moja verzija te suknjice, na internetu možete pronaći još mnogo varijacija.

You will need:
- tulle (for the skirt in the photos I used 2 m)
- elastic ribbon (mine was 3,5 cm wide)
- scissors, a needle and some thread
- glitter, ribbons
Measure the waistline and cut the elastic ribbon so that it is about 15 cm longer than the measured value (you will adjust it later). Measure the desired lenght of the skirt, multiply that value by 2 and add 10 cm (e.g. if you want the skirt to be 30 cm long, this is the math behind it: 30 x 2 + 10 = 70 cm). If you decide to use a thinner elastic band, you should add less than 10 cm. Cut the tulle into strips of appropriate lenght (70 cm in this case). Mine were 10 cm wide, but you can make them wider or thinner, it is up to you.
Now fold the tulle strips in half over the elastic band, to create a loop on one end and two tails on the other. Then make a knot over the band (pull the tails through the loop). Tighten the knot. Keep making knots untill you reach the desired fullness of the tutu (if you put more knots, the skirt will be fuller, but if you put less it will flatter).
Now sew the elastic band together (ok, so I lied, there is a bit of sewing involved), cut the extra lenght and that's it! You can add glitter to the skirt, or a decorative ribbon, what ever you like!
This is my variation of the skirt, but do google it to find more options and ideas.
