well you do actually know that the boxes of pointe shoes actually are a type of paper machette only they usually have burlap and sometimes leather in with the past and paper as well, so its not far off in your attempt though problably not the most durable way to do it
@@jeanettekakareka well I did not watch quite the whole video but you have the right idea, it even held you up and formed to your arch like a broken in pointe shoe and it did not squash the end at least not right away, keep it up we could always use another pointe maker in the west soo much has been lost and those that know how to are getting older with fewer young comeing in to take their place, lest we have no one left in the west to do this and everything has to come from east asia, as once something is gone its usually gone forever
This may not have worked out as great as you wanted it and it's probably not dance-able, but if I made this I would paint it that kind of pink with a brown undertone and use it as a prop because the shape looks great and I think you did amazing!
The only reason anyone would consider an all-purpose glue to be sprayed on it would be due to having too much clue around the outer (Which is most common the case; since one needs to wet/glue the exterior for a flattened finish), and has desire to paint it but no patience left to prime it decently. All in all, you have done a wonderful job in your attempt (albeit one would advise you wrap some sort of fibre around the box to better support your weight) at your pointe and an outstanding job pointing in them. Ironically, you are actually not too far off the actual making of boxes... Papier-mâché IS used even today in high quality shoes, even though cheeper "mass-produced" alternatives have been introduced via moulding... Usually the paper is assisted with linen and leather and a different type of glue... I have been told that earlier; there would be also sawdust or even chalk (Even blood) introduced to hide glue for the tip of the box. But I lack any source confirming it. All that said: Your dexterity is rather over whelming and has gotten me curious on how you manage on actual pointe whilst en tendu. And I can not pass by without complimenting your back and posture even whilst crouched down DIY'ing on the floor. This is "unjustly" what I tend to demand of my students as well... In too many ways; you are what a ballerina is expected to be moulded out to be, with the un-fortune that neither your genetics nor your hard work and discipline is common enough to see samples of as often as one would so hope for. Hence, my phrasing my expectations "unjustly". This was a very beautiful 0 minutes you have allowed me to live through whilst relaxing prior to getting to work. Thank you so much dearest, for your efforts to help make this happen. I shall subscribe as my best way I know of how ... to hopefully better present my gratitude.
As long as you're doing it for fun and NOT for actually wearing... 👀the "shank" (bottom of the shoe) is essentially the perfect length of your foot minus a bit of space at the heel. You might be able to see from googling "pointe shoe shank shape" the rounded hourglass look and go from there. 🙂
Just be careful! Anything other than a professionally-made pointe shoe shouldn't actually be danced in!!! If you want to just stand in them, its ok but exercise caution. 🙏💓
I'm so sorry 😞 but instead of creating pointe shoes that aren't safe, I suggest just dancing as you are in socks! Ballet doesn't have to be pointe shoes, actually. In a few days, I'm dancing in a piece barefoot. 😊
I use cups..... anything to do ballet when you live with a mean strict mom.... im 11 btw, i use the strongest cups i can find in my house and add two socks at the bottom of each cup, then i put on 3 pairs of socks and put padding on the side for extra support then i put one short sock on each cup shoe and long socks after that im all done! (Not once have i got caught, hurt or punished!)
you shouldn't do that because it is very unsafe If you really love dancing then you can enter some giveaways or buy some cheap ones for wish just please dont use cups
@@urmomisgay916 hi sorry I didn't reply because I hadn't even heard of this "cups" thing and didn't know what you were referring to. Definitely DO NOT dance in anything but professionally-made pointe shoes. Paper cups or any other cup will in no way support your delicate foot bones and tendons when they attempt to hold your entire body weight. I know it's a trend going around at the moment, but it is in no way safe. It's true that pointe shoes must also be trained in safely, but they're made the way they are for a reason. Even if you don't see the negative side effects today, tomorrow, or next week, you can do serious damage to your body. As a professional ballet dancer I do have knowledge in this. Please be safe!
Haha thank you! I mean, I shout out friends and things but I love your user, Potato Princess. I am hoping to get to 500 soon so I will definitely need to thank you on video. 😉
😂😂 don't worry I would never actually dance in them or let go of the shelf. I'm a professional ballet dancer so I know the limit very much. 😁 BUT nobody had better be telling me they're going to use these fake shoes like kids on tiktok do cups and try to dance because it is so dangerous!!
Comment and let me know what ballet DIY you want next 😂😂
Better then those “cup shoes” haha 😂
This is the second time I've heard of "cup shoes" in the past three days and I'm scared but also intrigued. Looks like I have some research to do.
Ohhhhhh noooooo.............
@@jeanettekakareka 🤣🤣😬 We felt the same shock
Oh god not again
I use them lol
Omg Jeanette! This confirmed my suspicion that you could strap Kleenex boxes to your feet and still look fantastic 😂
🤣🤣🤣 well thank you, it is nearly literally what's happening
well you do actually know that the boxes of pointe shoes actually are a type of paper machette only they usually have burlap and sometimes leather in with the past and paper as well, so its not far off in your attempt though problably not the most durable way to do it
haha yes I edited the part out where I talked about Freeds being made with a "paste" 😂so it's pretty much the same thing. 😉

You should have more subscribers your a very talented dancer!
Oh thank you so much, please feel free to share!
Great job! Really good start to creating a new form of pointe shoe!
It's simply in good fun! DEFINITELY not at all wearable for dancing! 😆
This may not have worked out as great as you wanted it and it's probably not dance-able, but if I made this I would paint it that kind of pink with a brown undertone and use it as a prop because the shape looks great and I think you did amazing!
Actually, it worked out much better than I thought it would 😂😂😂 my expectations were pretty low
@@jeanettekakareka Oh well I thought it looked really good! ❤️
@@terrynjoy9664 Thank you :-D it was fun during quarantine lol
@@jeanettekakareka Haha yeah. Quarantine has been going on for too long.
I love this 😂
I'm glad you do 😂

Hello! I love your outfit ❤️. Where did you buy your dotted jeans please ?
Aw thanks :-) they're from Jcrew and very stretchy too!
That is so good I could not do that 😍😍😍😍😂
Haha it's not so hard 😂 just takes patience lol
What if we don’t have a pointe shoe I really want some but can’t get them so I’m trying to find way I can d.I.y but I don’t have one I can trace

@@jeanettekakareka thank you so much it helps a lot!😁
I made tape point shoes I taped up my feet and pulled it off I had to keep on adding tape tho cuase my toes kept on getting tired lol

@@jeanettekakareka I know :) I wanna save up and buy some just for fun, I don't have them anymore anyway lol
@ZlexanSage ok good 😅 I worry sometimes that people think you can actually dance in these shoes and I feel responsible lol
Very nice😀👌👌👌
Thanks 😊
Wow thanks
Hope you'll be back to watch more ballet DIYs :-)
I want to buy a real one but so poor and my country doesn’t have it

At Nikki’s i use a desk to hold on to, i wont get hurt, thanks for worrying, but pointe shoes can be just AS dangerous too, thats my opinion anyway.
@@urmomisgay916 ok I still think cups are way more dangerous than pointe shoes but you do you
