Dallas Cowboys Tutu Dress for a newborn

Headband Bow:

Thick blue ribbon: $0.69 MICHAELS
Silver & White ribbon: $0.20 each MICHAELS
Buttons: $4.00 MICHAELS (optional I used a star button for the Dallas Cowbows symbol)
Bunch of small flowers: $1.00 DOLLAR TREE
Elastic Band: $1.20 WALMART

I took a guestimation on the headband and just hot glued a piece of elastic to the ribbon & just folded each side over on both sides & there you have it...a head band. The bow was just a creation of some sort w/ a flower glued in the middle of it & stuck in star button on the flower. Simple isn't? Just so you know the buttons are the priciest but I bought that for other purposes not for this project. So really all I spent was literally $0.40 because I had everything else already! :)

Accents for tutu dress:

Bunch of flowers: $1.00 DOLLAR TREE
Buttons: $4.00 MICHAELS

I had such a big bag of buttons so I wanted to take advantage of them. I ended up threading the tulle from the tutu dress into a white flower & a blue button & just let it hang. It gave it a lil' color & made it more than just a plain white tutu dress.

I don't know if your a blogger from Utah but I think almost everyone knows how to make a tutu. hahahaha If not you can watch this tutuorial @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5QO_OI1t70. The only difference w/ mine is I tied the tulle onto the elastic band rather than the ribbon. Sorry call me lazy w/ my blogs lately but I figure shorter the description the better! Although I'm contradicting my statement by going on and on about nothing! hahaha Kay anyways.....To make it a dress all I did was tie blue ribbon in the middle of the tutu & WALA that's her halter top! lol I hot glued a bow in the middle w/ the words "Dallas Cowboys" ironed on them. I also hot glued two blue & white flowers on the side of it w/ the pretty jewel glued in the middle of the flower. There you have it! Easy as peasy! hahaha Don't ask why that term is even brilliant to use but it rhymes. LOL

HERE'S THE END RESULT!

Excuse the somewhat used bear. It's my daughters bear that I thought I'd use it as my model since I didn't have a baby around! :( Oh & excuse the backgground too. Aren't wires quite the decor though? lol Well, hope you like it & is inspired to make one for your lil' beauty to show off your favorite team! I'm pretty sure my sister in law will. Oh yeah the "Dallas Cowboys" theme was thought of because my sister in law's husband (not sure if she loves the team too lol) loves the Cowboys. They named their eldest Dallas! Cute huh? I wanted to make this dress personable for not only baby but for the whole family to adore! :)
