How to Make a Tulle Vanity Skirt

Give your little girl the room of her dreams by transforming an ordinary table into a vanity worthy of a ballerina. Hang a mirror above the table and give her a stool to sit on so she can feel like a princess any day of the week. The beauty of using tulle fabric to make a vanity table skirt is that you don't even have to hem the finished project. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Measure the distance around the top of the vanity table; call this measurement A. Measure the height of the vanity table from the top to the floor, and call this measurement B.

2

Cut a piece of tulle fabric that is B long by 2 times A wide.

3

Thread a hand sewing needle with thread that coordinates with the tulle. Sew a long, gathering stitch across the top edge of the tulle, positioning your stitches approximately 1/2 inch down from the cut edge of the fabric.

4

Pull on the thread ends to gather the fabric until its width matches A. Tie knots in the ends of the thread to hold the gathers in place.

5

Start at the back of the table and line up the gathered edge of the tulle with the side edge of the table top. Staple the tulle to the table every 2 to 3 inches around until the tulle covers the table edge entirely.

6

Cut a length of satin ribbon that measures A plus 3 inches. Start at the back of the table and use hot glue or heavy-duty craft glue to attach the ribbon over the stapled portion of the tulle to hide the stitching and the staples. Glue the ribbon all the way around the border of the table and overlap it on itself in the back.
