We are always looking for really good instructions on how to sew your pointe shoes. This is a really good article by a dance lover - have a coffee and read ..... then get ready to try it out!
Note, however, that this method sews elastics on the outside: this is ok for professionals to do when you use pointes for a very short period and are using them only for class. Students who will use these in exams and shows (and whose pointe shoes will last well longer than a professional's) are generally asked to sew these on the inside for a neater, well-groomed look. If you choose to sew them on the inside, especially for exams and performances, make sure that your needle only takes the inner lining and not the outer satin.
