Take a pair of scissors and cut the satin off the end of the toe box. Try to cut as cleanly as possible so the edges aren't overly jagged. Lay out a sheet of thick satin material. Place the toe box on it and trace it with a pencil. Make several of these traced patterns, at least three. Cut these out and sew then them onto the toe box. This makes the toe box end stronger to dance on so it isn't easily destroyed. If you don't want to do this then cut a piece of mole skin to fit the traced toe box then peel and stick to the toe box.
Next cut an elastic band the width of your foot. Sew one end into the inside of the shoe about 3 to 4 inches from the heel. Sew other end on the opposite side. Repeat on the other shoe.
Burn the ends of your satin ribbon to prevent fraying. Sew one end directly behind the elastic band on the inside of the shoe. Angle the ribbon toward the toes so when you wrap it around it follows the natural curve of the ankle. Repeat on the other side and the other shoe.
Place the shoe on your foot. Wrap the ribbons and tie as you normally would but don't tuck in the ends. Cut off any excess ends. Then burn the ends again with the lighter to prevent fraying.
Lastly take off the shoe. Flip it over so the bottom of the shoe faces you. Take a shoe rougher and scrap the bottom of the shoe several times in long strokes to create a rough surface and take away the smooth bottom which will cause you to slip. Make sure you rough up the bottom completely so there aren't any smooth spots at all.
