How to tie ballet shoe ribbons
Use the inside ribbon of one shoe first and take around the ankle, above the bone, two times. Hold in place on inside of the ankle with the other hand.
Take the outside ribbon around the ankle one and a half times until it meets with the other ribbon.
Tie ribbons in a double knot.
Cut the remaining ribbon off (the inside one will have less to cut and should end up the longest) so there is approximately 5cm left. It is a good idea to singe the ends of the ribbon to prevent fraying.
Tuck the knot and remaining ribbon underneath the ribbon around the ankle in the gap between the Achilles and the ankle bone.
Repeat all steps for the other shoe.
