While I prepare for my big move, I'm reflecting back on old posts on this blog. I've scheduled one a week as I take a hiatus from blogging.

Ribbon Angels
(December 2010)
(December 2010)
I purchased several of these ribbon angels at a craft show earlier this month. Sarah needed a craft to make with her students so I figured out how these were made.
Each angel has ribbon, with wire edge is good, a ribbon rose and a jingle bell head. I substituted with what I had to make one.
I folded a ribbon seven times tucking in the raw edge back into the folds then stapled near the top for the body.
The wings have 5 folds and a staple in the center.
I trimmed the body of the top edge just above the staple.
Then I hot glued the wings to the body.
I had a large pearl from a broken string to use as a head. I hot glued that in the center of the wings over the staple.
Instead of a rose I used a button. I didn't have a hanger but it sits on a branch of my tree just fine.

Great job recreating the angel. It looks fantastic. I'm the crafter you purchased that ribbon angel from. Aren't they fun to make? I love making them. Even more so this year with all the beautiful ribbons that are out.
Well, this treasures is too much for my clumsy hands. Marcia, I thought you were in a downsizing mode. Thanks for sharing and I hope that your upcoming move goes smoothly. Please stop back again.
Tom - funny you should say that about downsizing. I think that angel and others I made were sold in the Christmas decoration lot during the auction. They are no longer in my possession.
I wonder if I might be able to recreate this, too. Enjoy your downsizing...
These are wonderful! thanks for commenting on my post for Our World. YOu asked a question: "That is a lovely looking building. Waterton is the Canadian part of Glacier National Park in Montana, correct?"
Yes, it is Marcia!
This is very creative. I love it!
