Angel Ornament Tutorial
What you’ll need:
About 20 inches of rope or jute
Lace, or material of your choosing for her wings
floral wire
What ever you want for hymnal. Or you can make her praying.
Hot glue gun
Something to twist the floral wire
You’ll start her basically like the dragonfly….loop and twist your rope…only this time only go half way down to the bottom loop.
Glue the end off like you did for the dragonfly and cut the bottom loop to make her two legs. Again….if your confused….the pictures will clarify it more in a minute….(I hope! lol)
Take the floral wire….find center. Form a halo at the center and twist the two ends long enough to go down to the middle of you angel’s back.
You will feed the wire up her back….under the loops, and wrap the two loose ends around her body to the front. At this point…you may have to trim them. I coiled mine….and as you can see…spray painted and began to hot glue the burlap for her hymnal. I glued both hands to the inside of it….and then sandwiched them with another layer of burlap. You could use anything for your hymnal….paper, fabric…or just fold her hands and glue them like she’s praying.
The wings are just exactly like the dragonfly’s….I’ll show you pics below again….only I’m adding what I used for her’s….and I loved it.
Remember any round or semi-round material will work.
This lace is what I used. The bottom is cut to about six inches…and then I angled it up to make the top about three.
Now tie it off in the middle like yesterday. Again…leave the tails for tying and make sure you go under the coils and trim.
Now I took another strip of lace and began to glue and gather around her waist for a skirt.
Again…take your string or monofilament and tie it for a hanger.Tie and trim again. Oh…my….what an angel.
Would Y’all use the black screen? What about a colored lace? I think she might even be pretty painted all white….what do Y’all think?
