Tutu Workshop with the Tutu Queen
with Carylee Carrington

The Tutu Queen Tutu Kits aren’t just about crafting a cute tutu — they’re about building confidence, creativity, and tulle power!
Through our hands-on Tutu-Making Workshops, with The Tutu Queen, girls get to design their own tutus and discover the magic of self-expression. As they create, they learn that joy, individuality, and confidence are sewn into every strand of tulle.
It’s more than dress-up — it’s empowerment wrapped in glitter and love.
Because when girls build something with their own hands, they twirl with pride knowing: they made it, they own it, and they are unstoppable.
Join the Tutu Movement — where every twirl tells a story of power.
