  Step 1

  Handdraw a template for the bodice. To make it perfectly symmetrical, fold in two when cutting it out.
  Use your template to draw the bodice on the decorated paper/card stock (draw on the backside so the pencil marks won't show...)

• 

  Step 2

  Cut out the bodice with scissors and hot glue a cocktail stick at the back.

• 

  Step 3

  Make a crepe paper rosette for the tutu:
  Cut out 20cm lengths of crepe paper streamers.
  Take two strips of crepe paper, put them on top of each other and fold in two lengthwise.

• 

  Step 4

  Use the crease as a guide and sew the whole length of the strip with matching thread.

• 

  Step 5

  Then make the paper slide (pull delicately, be careful not to rip the paper) so as to create the folds. Close the rosette by making a knot with the two ends of the thread. Cut excess thread with scissors.

• 

  Step 6

  Close the rosette by making a knot with the two ends of the thread. Cut excess thread with scissors.

• 

  Step 7

  Fluff the rosette by separating the layers gently.

• 

  Step 8

  Slide the rosette on the cocktail stick.

• 

  Step 9

  Turn the tutu upside down (you are now holding the bodice in you hand) and apply some hot glue in the centre of the rosette.

• 

  Step 10

  If you wish to hide the glue, add a small circle of crepe paper while the glue is still hot.
