Even more Pointe Shoes

Alors, these are some pencil holders that I made during the summer. I will show you how to make them:

What you will need:
-Dead pointe shoes
-Extra hot glue gun
-Newspaper
-Wooden coasters
-Spray paint
-Decorations

1. Detach any ribbons, or elastics from the pair of pointe shoes you no longer need
2. Heat up your glue gun and attach the platform of the shoe to your coaster so that the shoe stands up nicely, this might take a couple of tries but I am sure you will figure it out.


3. Spray paint the pencil holder (do a couple of coats of paint)






4. Decorate the shoes according to your own style.

          







5. Use them to hold, pencils, cell phones, ipods, cameras, or simply use them as a decoration!

All right, so I have never managed to get these pictures up, but seen as I am taking some time off I figured I would show everyone what I created with their donated pointe shoes. Thank you so much to all my friends, I love you guys!
