DIY Ballet Tutu Cupcake Topper
Is there anything cuter than a ballerina birthday party? I'm recognize I'm biased, but I say no! I've shared my DIY ballet tutu cupcake topper project below to turn any party into a ballet party or any day into a celebration.
Easy Party Planning
With a little preparation, it's easy and beautiful to host a ballerina party of any kind. Ballerina parties are great for birthdays, club gatherings, baby showers, girls parties - endless possibilities!
Here are some easy party planning tips that I use when I'm hosting a party at Satsuma Kids Shop, my home, or helping a friend or client create memorable events that delight.
How to Host a Ballerina Party
Decor
Maybe the best part of any Ballerina party is the decorations! Have the best time pulling together all of the pink you can find in your house, fabric bin, local dollar store and more.
Use Tulle fabric and 6" wide ribbon to create streamers, chair bows, and tablescapes.
Purchase dollar store pink and/or white paper cups and line them half way down with tulle for a festive cup.
Do the same with pink paper plates and tie a tulle bow around forks or any silverware needed for your feast.
Bows everywhere! Use extra wide pink ribbon to create garlands and bows on every available space.
Enjoy!

Here's What you Need to Make DIY Ballet Tutu Cupcake Toppers
- Ballet Leotard Printable
- Tulle for ballet skirt - I use 6" wide tulle on a roll
- 3/8" wide ribbon for waistband bow
- Toothpicks
- Glue stick or glue gun
- Sharp scissors
Here's How to Make DIY Ballet Tutu Cupcake Toppers
Start by printing out my ballet leotard printable on white card stock.
Cut out the leotards and set aside.
Cut your tulle skirts - measure 4" of tulle for each skirt.
Now, use your glue to cover the BACK leotard piece (you'll note the back is solid and the front has design - scallop, heart and Dance).
Place a toothpick on the leotard.
Place your tulle that you've gathered into a skirt on the glue as well.
Now, glue the FRONT leotard piece and place it on the back with the tulle skirt and toothpick in between.
Tie a bow in your ribbon and glue to the front.
That's it. You're ready to party!
