You're Never Too Old for a Tutu!

It's Saturday!  Thousands of teens and tweens are sleeping in right now, getting some rest for the big plans they have later this evening. Parties? Concerts?  Sleep-overs? Gigglying? Dancing? Listening to music? Talking about boys! Flirting with boys? And what apparel could possibly be more fun to wear for all of the above than a tutu? NOTHING!
I am in the process of designing an entirely new line of tutus for kids age 9-18+.  These tutus will be full of vibrant colors, bouncy, soft, and frilly.  Each of them has a unique theme that captures the interests of girls this age.  For example, today I plan on finishing my Zombie Tutu.  This weekend I also plan to finish the Rock'n'Roll Tutu, the Fabulous Fairy Tutu, and the Diva Princess Tutu. Next weekend, my beautiful little sister is going to be in town visiting and she has agreed to be my newest model!  I'm very excited about this because she's 17 and very cool. It doesn't hurt that she actually looks like she could be a model, too.  I should be posting photos of this new line next Sunday, assuming everything goes as planned.  Please come back and check it out!
In the meantime, I'll be posting pics of some bling I've been working on and a new infinity scarf that's so soft and sweet, it'll have you ready for Valentine's Day in an instant.
Don't forget that you can get 25% off any tutu from my ArtFire shop through tomorrow, Sunday, January 13 by entering coupon code FACEBOOK2013 at check out.
Happy Saturday, everyone!

Lucy is ready to rock this Saturday!

New Boa Design

I've been working on a new tulle boa the last few days. Instead of using 6 inch tulle, I'm using 3 inch tulle.  I was thinking it might work well for a scarf for a tween, teen, or adult, but I'm not sure if it's going to work as scarf or not because it still looks very "boa-y."  I think a tween or a teen could probably wear a boa with no problems but I'm not sure if most women would want to wear one, not to work anyway.  What do y'all think?  Could it be worn as a scarf? Would your tween or teen wear a boa? I'd love to hear your opinions!

The new three inch tulle boa

This one is made from light pink and pink tulle

The original boa uses tulle that is 6 inches wide

New Year's Eve Dress-It's not too late, Moms!

A fake message from my two-year-old, based on her over-dramatic facial expressions and what she might be thinking (but she's probably just thinking about watching Strawberry Shortcake because that's what she's usually thinking about!) Please enjoy my hopefully humorous attempt at a shameless-plug.

 What do you mean you didn't order your little girl a dress from Glitter and Tulle Boutique for New Year's Eve?  Look at my face--can you tell I'm in shock?!?

But if you purchased her dress from somewhere else, you probably paid too much and it might not even be hand-made!

Calm down, girl, it's gonna be alright. Y
ou know, it's not too late!  Order today and it can still get there in time. Otherwise, you'll just have to make up for it by getting her the best Valentine's dress ever from Glitter and Tulle Boutique.  Custom orders are always excepted and my mommy works super fast!

With a dress from Glitter and Tulle Boutique, your little princess will always be ready for her close-up! (Can you tell I'm fake smiling, is it obvious? It's time for a milk break!)

Let's Work Some Magic!

Welcome to Glitter and Tulle Boutique! I make tutus--lots and lots of tutus!--and other handmade items to make little girls feel like princesses. Glitter and Tulle Boutique was born out of necessity. My two little girls had too many tutus and not enough closets. In order to continue to fund my crafting addiction, I opened an etsy shop. Little girls all over the country are turning into princesses right before our very eyes! I'm honored to have had the opportunity to get to know so many amazing families and to have created so many special items for incredible little girls. Through this blog, I hope to meet even more wonderful people. I will share my designs and some of my secrets. I'll post photos of my work and talk about how I created it. I also invite readers to become involved. I'd love to hear from you! I'll also be recommending products and other creative people's work. I'll be doing giveaways as well so check back often. Thank you for visiting! Now, let's go create something beautiful!
