Home-made ballerina skirt

E has been smiling non-stop since we made a ballerina skirt together this afternoon.  We found 2 rolls of tulle in pink and cream in a charity shop, and used a waist-length piece of elastic and knots to transform them into a skirt.  I don't think I've ever made anything which requires such little skill but looks so good! If you'd like to make one you'll need scissors, tulle and a length of elastic.

1. Cut the elastic so it fits around your lucky recipients waist.  Ti the ends  of the elastic together to make a loop.
2. Cut the tulle into strips twice as long as you'd like the final skirt length.
3. Take one length of tulle and fold it in half.  Attach the tulle to the elastic using a loopy knot (I'm not sure what it's called).  I've popped some photographs showing the knot at the bottom of the post as it's much easier than trying to describe it. 
4. Continue tying strips of tulle along the length of elastic, until it's covered all the way around..
