These ballerina cheesecake tutu jars are really easy to make! They are perfect for pretty desserts on the buffet table at your little ballerina’s party.
Ballerina Tutu Jar Tutorial:
For this craft you’ll need 4 things:
- tulle
- thin ribbon
- scissors
- small mason jar
Start by cutting strips of tulle – I’d say 9-inch x 4-inch strips (you may have to trim the pieces depending on the height of your jar).
Cut a piece of ribbon that is about 2 inches wider than the diameter of your jar. You can trim off the extra later.
Start with one strip of tulle and fold in an accordion style.
Cut a 3-inch strip of ribbon and tie it around the top of the folded tulle (about 1-inch from the top of it).
Take this piece of tulle and use the 3-inch tied ribbon to tie it to the long ribbon that will go around your jar. See the pictures below for a sample.
Continue this process until the long ribbon (that will go around your jar) is lined with folded tulle all around the jar.
I cut off the tops of the tulle pieces to make them all even and cut off the extra ribbon from each of the tulle bundles. It just makes it look a lot more clean.
Take the long ribbon filled with tulle bundles and tie it around the neck of the mason jar. Cut off the extra ribbon.
Although I went with a glitter tulle for this tutu jar, I’d actually recommend tulle without the glitter. The glitter ended up all over me, the counter and in the jar. I don’t think anyone wants a glitter cheesecake. {wink}
Ballerina Cheesecake:
To make the cheesecake for the jars, follow this easy no-bake cheesecake recipe. For a ballerina party, I’d recommend fillings like strawberry, raspberry or cherry.
