Pointe Shoe Paint Party
Traveling Tutus often receives dance shoes that don’t have a match or are unable to be used. We decided to get creative and find a way to recycle them! Now you can host your own ballet shoe paint parties. You supply the paint and creativity and we will supply all of the shoes you need for FREE.
Step 1: Choose a day for your paint party!

Step 3: Have interested participants sign up on the sign-up sheet included in the packet below. We suggest charging $25 per shoe to paint.

Step 5: Get ready to have fun! Purchase any paint supplies you need and wait for your shoes to arrive in the mail.
