Let's get right into it, from the most common misconception to the finishing touches

What you need: Elastic | like this ( I got black) Tulle | purchase at your local fabric store about 30 yards needed ) depending on how fluffy you want it Strapless mini dress | like this Brown Tights | like this Mini Ornaments | like this Tree Topper | like this Headband Pipe Cleaners | like this Brown Boots Step 1: How to make the elastic bands - Measure your bust, waist & hips - Similar to making the famous Loofah Halloween costume please reference this website to a more in depth how to ** the only difference is were adding a third elastic band on the hips Tie each elastic band in a knot (make sure the top one fits above your bust// the middle on your waist// and the third on your hips Step 2: Adding the Tulle ** Each band needs different length tulle so it gives you a "tree effect" So the costume will gradually get fuller towards the bottom ( you want a layered effect) - Cut the tulle into strips ( the bust elastic band the shortest || Middle elastic band a little longer || the Hip elastic band the longest) - You can either tie the tulle directly in a knot on the bands or attach with safety pins (we just tied directly to band) ** Make sure to fluff you tulle
