To create the ties on the shoes:
with the same color you use for the tutu. Cut off a long piece of yarn. Find the middle of the shoe and attach your yarn into the front loop. Wrap both pieces of yarn around in an “x” to create the ballet slippers. Tie a bow and cut off the remaining amount of yarn to make them even.
