Here are the steps that you can follow to make friends out of your enemies.

Step one:
You need to take a serious look at why this person is your enemy. You need to think about what makes you not like this person or what makes them not like you. If the reason is, something that you cannot get past you might want to consider trying to become polite to the person in passing rather than developing a friendship with them. If the reason is something silly and superficial there is no reason that you cannot move past what is wrong and learn to get along with one another. The only way to find out if you want to continue on to the next steps is to do some serious soul searching and honestly answer the question.

Step two:
Be nice to the person. It might take some time and practice for you to be nice to somebody that has been horribly rude to you or who you have treated badly because of dislike, but if you want to develop a friendship with them, you have to start by being nice. One way to start being nice to this person is to think about how you treat your current friends. Try treating them like you treat your current friends, but on a smaller level. Nobody wants to talk to people who are going to be rude.

Step three:
You can start being nice to your enemy by making small talk with your enemy. Look around or ask around to see if you can find some kind of common interest that the two of you share. Open up a conversation with the person about what you have in common and see where the conversation goes from there.

Step four:
Do little acts of kindness without expecting anything in return. This will show people that you are a good person because you are trying to do good without expecting anything back. People who are obligated to return the favor, such as your enemy, will appreciate the kind acts even more and will start to think higher of you for the good deeds.

Step five:
Never get desperate or annoying when you are trying to turn an enemy into a friend, you also want to avoid stalking the person. Exhibiting this kind of behavior is going to push the person away rather than draw them in. Instead, you need to sit back and wait to see how the person is going to react to your kindness and good deeds. One of two things is going to happen your enemy is going to wake up and see what a nice person you really are or they are going to continue being stubborn and stay your enemy.

Step six:
You need to be patient. The person is your enemy for a reason and it is going to take time to change them into a friend because they will need time to overcome the reason of why they were your enemy. Time will also help show them that you are worth being friends with.

Just remember that not everyone is going to like you, so if after trying to be friends with this person it does not work out, you need to move on.
