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!
Supplies
Old ballet slippers
Cotton balls
Cardboard
Your feet
Shaping the Shoe
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.
Padding the Shoe
Put cotton balls on the inside of the shoe. put them in between all the pieces of cardboard.
Fit the Shoe
Put your foot into the shoe and make sure it fits, if it does not, you can take out or add more cotton balls.
Using the Shoe
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!
