My daughter has begun using point shoes, a new and important step in her ballet lessons. As you can imagine, and sure it happens to all of you who have children, I’m very happy to see her growing and moving foward her goals, so I needed to tell you. Well, the thing is that we went to buy the shoes and I saw some brooches I loved at the shop. I thought I could make them easily and that was; here you have the tutorial.
2.- Tulle.
3.- A safety pin.
4.- Sequins and beads (or what you prefer to decorate).
5.- Glue for felt or needle and thread.
6.- Scissors.
First I draw and cut out the leotard on paper and I’ve used it as template to get two pieces in felt. If you find it easier, you can download the patterns in PDF format here.
Then, cut two tulle circles, one a bit bigger than the other (you can get it from the pattern I ‘ve prepared). To draw on tulle the best is to use a pencil or chalk.
Now put both tulle circles together and fold them in half, leaving the smaller inside.
And place them between the both felt pieces in the shape of leotard.
Later, join the leotard pieces with glue or sewing them, as you prefer. And there’s only left to decorate it and sew a safety pin at the back. I’ve added them a sequin with a bead, but sure you have a thousand ideas. If you want to see how to sew sequins, I explained it here.
It’s been so simple and enjoyable that finally I’ve made brooches for Ana and all her ballet classmates. I hope you like it too.
