Some strips might not come out completely even, but it really is okay once all strips are tied on. Any mistakes can be hidden. Making the Skirt:.
Step One: Fold your strip in half and bring it behind the elastic waistband to form a loop. Step Two: Bring the ends of the tulle strip through the loop. Pull down the end to tighten. Make sure not to pull it too tight. Step Three: Continue tying slipknots or regular knots around the entire waistband. This makes a very adjustable waistband.
