How To Make Ballerina Tutu Cupcake Toppers

1. Printing and Drawing Stencils

This is the first step on how to make ballerina tutu cupcake toppers. You can find ballet leotard printables online and print them on white card stock. Otherwise, you can make use of colored clipboard and draw a leotard top on them and then freehand cut them.

There are tons of stencils online that you can print and trace if you don’t feel confident with doing a freehand drawing for your tutu leotards.

2. Tulle Skirt

The next step in how to make tutu cupcake toppers is to grab your scissors and your tulle garment. Measure up to 4″ of tulle for each skirt, then glue it to the leotard that you have printed or cut.

Make sure that the tulle and the leotard’s colors match well so that you can make it look cuter.

3. Toothpick

Before you can attach the toothpick, you have to use another set of tulle and leotard printout so that it can be back to back with the first one that you have made.

Now, grab the first ballerina tulle tutu that you made, glue it to the upper part of the toothpick, then grab the second ballerina tutu dress and then paste it at the back of the first one.

4. Ribbon

The next step will be to tie a bow using the ribbon and then glue it in front of your tutu ballerina toppers.

Afterward, you can add in any detail that you want, like glitters or any other ornaments that you can add to make your ballerina tutu dress cuter.
