The inspiration for making these ballet flats out of DUCK tape came from an eight year old. My little friend, Willow, came up with the idea herself, and has been doing it since she was three years old. She is a very creative little girl! I would have rather used light pink tape, but they didn't have that color at my local department store. I just wrapped the tape around a sock, then cut the opening into the right shape. I then stapled the ribbons to the tape. They aren't the most practical shoes, but they were a very fun project.
