Ballet-inspired Home Decor Ideas

True Love! This is the perfect sign for a ballerina or dance fanatic! We started to make these signs because my daughter had piles of old, "dead" pointe shoes and couldn't bear to throw away a single pair. After a couple of years of Mom begging to reduce the clutter, we set aside the truly special, sentimental pairs and began to up-cycle the rest into art. Apparently, most ballerinas keep piles of old shoes. With a pair a month, a week or even a day, that's a lot shoes! The word LOVE is hand painted in the perfect shade of ballet pink but the letter V is actually a pair of used satin pointe shoes, complete with a bow. The signs are individually crafted and the shoes show the character of hard work, so each has a unique beautiful feel. Which is code for, I promise these used pointe shoes do not smell like stinky feet! The natural beauty of the wood shows and has an antiqued, worn feel. Ballet pink is actually more of "flesh" tone or peachy than baby pink and pointe shoes come in various shades. So the paint, shoe and bow color will slightly vary from each other but are a beautiful complement to the design. This sign is a great addition to a girl's bedroom or nursery and is sure to inspire sweet dreams and encourage hard work. Also, would be precious for the center of a baby shower or birthday party decoration. What a great gift for a graduate or teacher! ***Please see our other pointe shoe art gift items!
