Im having problems with your soft pointe shoes. I know how to fold the ribbon and then sew it on. But do i fold the ribbon to the left or to the right?

How do you put the ribions on pointe toe ballet shoes?
To put ribbons on pointe shoes you first need to get the ribbons then make sure you have two even ones other wise it won't work as well. Next to insure that the ends don't fray you can either put clear finger nail polish on the end or burn the end of the ribbons. Next you try to fold the end once so they don't fall off as easily. Lastly you sew them to the inside middle seam of your pointe shoes, try not to put your needle through the satin on the outside. Oh and try to make sure you sew the ribbons glossy side out.
