Lace/Ribbon Angels
What you need:
craft ribbon 1 1/2 - 2 " wide
SMALL ribbon roses
1/8-1/4 " ribbon for bow
1/4" pom-pom for head
fastener (to wear as pin, or additional ribbon to hang from
tree)
glue gun and/or Tacky glue
What you do:
- Of course you can use any size ribbon and adjust the size,
the angel on your left is made of wall paper, so don't be to choosey, just make one up and
see what you think. I have made them using 5" lace and added hair. (If you use fabric
you will probably have to use a stiffener.)
- For the 1 1/2 - 2 " Angel:
Measure off 5 " of ribbon for the skirt/body
Measure off 2 - 2 1/2" pieces for wings.
- Fan fold the body ribbon (1/8 - 1/4 " folds). Glue with
Tacky glue at one end. Fan fold the wing pieces the same way, putting a small line of glue
in the center of each.
- When glue is dried, set one of the wing halves on each side
of the body piece (so that about half of it extends above the body piece) and attach with
glue gun.
- The Pom-Poms head will be glued in between the wing pieces.
Now, just make a little bow or ribbon twist that will cover where the head/wings/body
joins and glue in place.
- Add the ribbon rose on top of that. Turn your pin/decoration
over and glue the pin or a 5 " strip of ribbon (folded to make a hanger) to the back.
Both of these angels were also sprayed with a aerosol glitter, but that is not necessary.
Adjust the folds and needed.
- Most of my angels were done with white ribbon lace, but
these were the two that I had out where I could scan them.
- They truly are easy to make, sorry that my description
sounds vague, but maybe with the scan you can figure it out.
