How to Sew Ribbons on Pointe Shoes

I just bought myself a new pair of pointe shoes the other day.

So, this is how you sew your pointe shoes! :)

Before you start be sure to gather up these stuffs:
ribbon, elastic, scissors, thread, sewing needle and your pointe shoes, of course.


First, cut the ribbon into four equal lengths (pic 1)

To keep the ends of the ribbons from fraying, use a lighter to melt it (pic 2)

and you'll get something like this! (pic 3) 

Then, take the pointe shoe and fold in the heel to the inside sole of the shoe 

and mark the spot where the satin meets. (pic 1)
Place the ribbon/elastic on that spot (pic2),
using needle and thread sew the ribbon/elastic to the shoe!


**I suggest you sew the ribbons first ! 
I made a mistake over there, had to do it all over again! pfft :(

Anyway, after you're done with the ribbons and elastics on both the shoes,

use a strong glue to glue the toe caps to the tip of the shoes,

and you're done!  :D
