Part of the excitement for me when planning my little ones birthday parties, is picking a fun, customized outfit for their special day! This year to go hand-in-hand with Isabellas vintage chic rag banner (here) I created an adorable tutu using the same technique!

You’re going to need your desired fabric, elastic, scissors, needle and thread or sewing machine.

Cut out your number, in my case 2, and turn it backwards and trace onto the fabric, then cut out. I decided to sew my number one using turquoise thread (I still haven’t busted out my sewing machine!!)

My husband got me this nifty tool to easily created snaps and buttons! I (he) decided to give it a try and it worked out perfect for this project. It’s easily hidden by simply sliding a piece of fabric directly over it!

And there you have it! A beautiful, one-of-a-kind tutu fit for any princess!!

I absolutely adore preparing for my kids’ birthdays! It’s soo much fun 🙂 This year for Isabella’s second birthday, I’ve decided to go with a Vintage Chic theme with the main colors being pinks, turquoise and neutrals. I started getting my inspiration, at none other than the craft store! I headed to Jo Ann Fabrics and immediately started finding the 18”x20” pre-cut fabrics for $1.99 each, in the perfect colors! I began mismatching different ones, until I was happy with the result! What am I making with these precious fabrics you ask? An adorable rag banner, that’s what!

Here’s what you’re going to need:

5 different fabrics, each 18”x20”
scissors
yarn or jute

Start by laying out your fabric and cutting about 1” strips. I felt like I was going to be cutting in my sleep, ugh! I used yarn for the base of the banner, cut to desired length. To begin, fold each strip of fabric in half, hold the top of the loop and feed the bottoms through and pull taught. This easily creates a knot and keeps the fabric in place. Continue for each strand of fabric until completed! Once you get in the groove, it goes rather quickly!

I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!! It’s so stunning and perfect for any little girl! This adorable banner will adorn the birthday table, and I plan to put it in her bedroom afterwards as part of her decor!!

Be sure to check back next week for the full birthday party reveal!!
