If you already have a black shirt, pants, and shoes, you're halfway through making this costume. After that you'll just need some craft supplies, tulle fabrics, and some black makeup.

Step 1

Elastic measure

For this costume you are going to make five tutus. One for the waist, one for each wrist and one for each ankle. Measure the wearer's wrist, ankle, and waist to obtain measurements for the elastic, using the 1" and 1/2" elastic for the wrists and ankles.

Step 2

Sew elastic to make cuffs

Subtract one inch from the waist measurement, then cut the elastic to that length. For the wrists and ankles, subtract 1/2" from each measurement and cut. Repeat the same process for the ankles. Sew the ends of the ankle and wrist cuffs with a sewing machine or with a needle and thread.
