DIY Peacock Tutu Tutorial
These instructions for the peacock costume are for making the peacock feathers. I've included a link to show you how to make the tutu. This is a sewing material but you can also use a hot glue gun to secure the feathers.
1. Make a tutu skirt. Try this tutorial. I prefer the kind of tutorial where you knot strips of tulle around the elastic band. Only put the tulle in the back of the band leaving the front empty at the waist. I did brown and tan strands on the sides and then it faded to blue and green in the middle. I did this to closely mimic the peacock feathers.
2. Make some feathers for the back. Cutting out the base of the feather in brown felt and then I cut out the shapes for the "eye" looking part of the feather. I used lime green, teal and royal blue felt for the pieces. I like the look of the fun bright colors.
3. Pull out the sewing machine or hand stitch, if you prefer. Stitch the feathers. Sew the green piece to the brown piece by sewing around the edge, and then sewing lines outward for detail on the feather.
4. Glue the blue pieces on the feather. Use your glue gun to glue the two blue pieces on to the feather. Alternatively, use fabric glue.
5. Tack the feathers scattered on a ribbon.
6. Sew the ribbons to the back of the skirt on the elastic.
Then you are done with the peacock tutu! Pair it with tights or leggings and a matching t-shirt or sweater and you'll have an adorable little peacock girl ready for her Halloween party or a regular day of dress-up.
