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.
