Reuse Old Ballet Slippers-make Pointe Shoes

These Pointe shoes not only look good, but work too! This is a good way to reuse or recycle your old ballet slippers!

Old ballet slippers

Cotton balls

Cardboard

Your feet

cut a small piece of cardboard to fit the toe of the shoe and put it in the toe. Cut two larger pieces of cardboard and put one on the bottom and one on the top. cut two more pieces of cardboard the same size as the toe and put them on the sides of the shoe.

Put cotton balls on the inside of the shoe. put them in between all the pieces of cardboard.

Put your foot into the shoe and make sure it fits, if it does not, you can take out or add more cotton balls.

Now you can use it! have fun and be safe! I would recommend not using these homemade pointe shoes for a long time at once because your feet will be screaming at you!
