Christmas angels

This year I decided to get a smaller tree

and I gave my bigger tree to my daughter.

So as she hadn't many decorations for it I

decided to make her some angels.

I used an old dictionary that belonged to my late Mum

which I thought would make them special for her.

I punched the bottom of her dress,

added ribbon to the top of her dress

and her head is a wooden bead with a

pipe cleaner for her halo.

She has some waxed thread fed through the

bead so she can hang from the tree.

I left her face blank so my daughter,

who is an artist by trade, could add her

own facial features.

I made as many as I could in a small space of time

and packaged them up with tissue and a pretty box.

She was very pleased with them.

Christmas Angels

I finally had some time to make these little angels

which I have had on my to do list for a couple of years!!

For the beads I bought a 99p beaded ornament from

Home Bargains and took it apart.

The beads were the perfect size for the face.

I gathered up whatever material scraps I had in my drawer.

I used tulle and some gold netting.

I tied her waist with red ribbon and her arms

were made from some heavy twine.

Her hair is made with threads in brown and I cut

her wings from some white foam.

I did have to draw her face on but it didn't come

out too bad lol and I gave her a little halo

made from pearls.

You can see I plaited her hair at the back to keep it tidy.

Of course when I showed it to my daughter she wanted one.

As her hair is black and white (we call her Cruella De Vil 😂)

I had to give the angel the same hair.

This time I used wool.

They do look so sweet on my tree and I am so tempted to make more!!

I would like to enter these into
