Lace Angels
By: Debra for Creative Ramblings
Nothing says grace and elegance like lace, which
makes them the perfect material to use to
make an angel. You can use this design is so
many ways!

Materials:

Lace
1 inch pom poms
Sewing needle
Thread (to match lace)
Gold cord
Gold thread
Embellishments, such as rosettes,
ribbons, buttons, etc
Scissors
Hot glue gun or craft glue
Pin backs

Instructions:
1.) Cut your lace. Depending on the width of
the lace you are using, you'll be cutting the lace
anywhere from about 4 to 8 inches in length. It
depends on how full you want the dress to be.
Thread your sewing needle and knot the end.
2.) You're going to start at the upper edge of
the lace and run the thread through the lace,
like you would a basting or running stitch,
accordion style. Once you've reached the end,
push the lace to the knotted end, so that it's
gathered together tightly. Keep it pinched
together and run you needle through again and
pull tight to secure. Don't fasten off.

3.) Cut two lengths of lace for the angel's


wings, probably about half the length of the
dress.

4.) You can experiment a bit here. You might


want to fold the lace in half, or you might use a
smaller width lace, it depends on what you like.
Run thread through the edge of one wing and
then the remaining wing. Pull thread tight and
then run the thread through the gathered edge
of the dress and fasten off.

6.) Cut a piece of gold cord to make the angel's


halo. Glue in place at the back of the head.
7.) Choose your embellishment for the front of
the dress and glue in place.

5.) Use either a hot glue gun or craft glue and


attach the pom pom head.

8.) Depending on how you want to use your
angel, you can glue on a pin back or magnet,
attach some gold thread to use as a ornament
or package decoration, or glue angels to some
ribbon to make a garland. Be creative! Happy
Crafting. :)

Easy Angel Carolers

Instructions:

By: Gail for That Artist Woman

1.) First you need to paint your Styrofoam ball.


We also added some glitter for a bit of sparkle.

Greet guests with a whole set of adorable angel


crafts for any room. Use your own creativity to
give them each their own looks and
personalities.

2.) After it has dried use your fine sharpie and


put in the eyes (closed ) and the mouth. Now
you could paint these in if you wanted but I find
young kids have more control with the sharpie.

Materials:

A pattern template
Some cheap batting fabric
Some sheet music (try here)
Tacky glue
A 2-3 inch Styrofoam ball
Flesh colored acrylic paint
Pink acrylic paint
Some garland
A white pipe cleaner
A fine sharpie
Some white cardstock or posterboard
Some sequins or embellishments

3.) Take your pink acrylic paint and using the


end of a pencil dot the cheeks.

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts

4.) Take the pattern and trace and cut out of


posterboard, cardstock, or manila tag.

7.) Put glue all around the edges of your fabric


on the wrong side. (non sparkle side).

5.) Cut the same pattern out of the batting


fabric, but this time do not cut out the notch in
the center.

8.) Cover the cone and just tuck in the fabric in


the center.

6.) Staple your posterboard cone together.

9.) Take your white pipe cleaner and make a


loop at each end for the hands.

10.) Cut a piece of batting fabric 3"x7", lay your


pipe cleaner in the center, put glue along one
edge of the fabric, fold in half.

12.) Glue onto the head of your angel.

13.) Put some glue on the center of your cone


and secure the head.
You may have to hold for just a minute while
the glue sets up.....

11.) Take an 8 inch length of garland and wrap


into a circle.

11

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts

14.) Put some glue on the center of your arms.

15.) Attach to your angel. Try to make them


come from the shoulder area...I find kids often
want to have the arms coming out of the waist.

17.) Cut out a strip of music about 3 inches long


and the width of the bars.

18.) Glue into place..I like to have the music


facing out but you can also glue 2 strips
together so you can see it from both sides.

16.) Now you can decorate your angel a bit with


extra garland, sequins, snowflakes......

artificial flower.
Secure on the back of your angel.

Pasta Angel Ornaments


By: Jessica for Craftily Ever After
This has to be one of the most popular angel
crafts out there this year. Its super easy, very
thrifty, and enjoyable for all skill levels. No one
would ever guess these gorgeous ornaments
were made from household items!

2.) Next, glue the head bead to the center of


the wagon wheel.
Materials:

A 20mm wooden bead


Rigatoni (the big tubes) for the dress
A wagon wheel for the collar on the
dress
Elbow macaroni for the arms
Stars (Stelline) for decorating the dress
A bow-tie for the wings
Ditaline for the hair

Instructions:
1.) First, hot-glue the wagon wheel to the tube.
(Craft glue works too, but I'm impatient enough
that I will put up with having to remove all the
pesky hot-glue strings.)
3.) Then attach the bow-tie to the back of your
angel, just underneath the collar.

21

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts

4.) Glue the elbow macaroni either to the sides


of the dress or to the underside of the collar,
whichever works best for your particular
macaroni. Because mine were so twisty, I tried
both ways and they both looked great.

5.) For the hair, glue a row of Ditaline on the


head-bead. In this picture, you can see that I
have the holes in the Pasta facing sideways. I
also made some with the holes of the curls
facing frontwards. Both were cute!

6.) Fill in the back of the head with curls.

7.) Decorate the dress with stars! Here I put one


star in the center of the collar and also used
them as a trim.

22

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts

And there's lots of room for making them your


own! If you like a demure all-white angel, you
could run a ribbon through one of her curls and
stop there. You would have something like this!

8.) Now the fun part! Seeing them turn white!


To spray-paint them evenly, I jabbed some
pencils and take-out chopsticks into the frozen
ground and stuck the angels on top of them.
They got shot with three coats of glossy white
spray paint.
Or for a little extra sparkle, you could paint the
stars gold (I did mine with a paint pen) and
attach some gold seed beads strung on a wire
to look like a halo.

9.) After they dry, use a fine-tipped permanent


pen (I used a scrapbooking one) to draw their
faces.

And that's it! A fun and easy project that won't


break the bank. And I have a budget for craft
supplies, but when they come from the grocery
store, you don't even have to count them,
right?!

Ribbon Angel Christmas Ornament


By: Eileen for The Artful Crafter
Your tree will sparkle like never before with a
beautiful fabric angel ornament hanging on it.
Grab your favorite colors and make a whole
choir of these regal-looking tree decorations.

Instructions:
Head
1.) Paint wooden bead your choice of skin tone
and set aside to dry.
Hair
2.) Scrunch ball of batting into an appropriate
shape for the angel's hair.
3.) Lay ball on the center fold of a piece of
newspaper. Since the ball is so lightweight and
would be "blown away" by the plume of spray
paint, secure the ball gently by placing your
left/right hand behind the loosely folded
newspaper.
4.) Spray thoroughly using your other hand. [Do
this outside or in the garage to avoid inhaling
the fumes as well as to avoid gold spray on
other surfaces. The very fine mist does travel!]
Rotate the ball of batting gently to get all the
surfaces.

Materials:

2.5 cm wooden bead


Ball of cotton batting to form hair
10 cm 26 gauge gold wire for halo
Gold spray paint
Skin tone acrylic paint
Black permanent marker
7 inches gold thread or cord for hanger
11 inches thin gold ribbon for necktie
11 inches 1 inch-wide gold ribbon for
wings
1 foot extra-wide (5 to 6 inches) fancy
ribbon for dress

Tools:

Hot glue gun


Scissors
Paint brush

Dress
5.) Fold dress ribbon in half with best side out.
Loop necktie ribbon around fold to form top of
dress.
6.) Tie necktie tightly to gather the dress at the
neckline. Tie the ends into a pretty bow.
Optional: Cut the bottom of the dress on an
angle to make it appear more flowing, as an
angel's gown might be.3.) Screw the eye hook
into the hole.
Wings
7.) Make a loop with the ribbon you've chosen
for the wings. Tie the ends of the gold hanger
cord together using an overhand loop.

25

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts


8.) Loop the cord loop over the center of the
wing loop with the knot close against the wing
loop. You want the knots of the hanger loop to
be hidden "in the wings".

Face

9.) Scrunch the wings at the center as shown in


the photo below and tie a second overhand
loop tightly to hold the wings in shape. Here are
complete instructions for the overhand loop
and tightening an overhand loop.

13.) Use a pencil to draw the angel's eyes and


mouth as illustrated below. Trace over the
pencil with the permanent marker.

12.) Hold the "hair" onto the wooden ball and


pull it into the shape/length you want.

[ Not to worry if you mess up - since you


haven't glued the hair on yet, you can just turn
the ball to the other side and try again. ]

Assembly
Halo

14.) Heat up your glue gun.

10.) Make the halo by doubling the gold wire


around a circular object (like the top of a small
bottle of Elmer's Glue) and twist the two ends
together.

15.) Glue hair to head. Place a dab of glue on


the stalk of the halo and jab it into the hair.

11.) Bend the circle at a right angle so the halo


will sit properly above the angel's head.

16.) Glue the wings to the top of the back of the


dress (with the hanger cord facing up).

26

17.) This should form a nice "platform" on
which the angel's head can perch.
18.) Glue the angel's head onto the platform.

Little Wooden Angel Ornament


By: Kat for Just Crafty Enough
Wooden doll pins are the perfect craft material
to use to make an angel come to life. Use your
best embellishments to create an adorable
ornament that crafters of all kinds can do.

Materials:

2 wooden doll pin


White, black, pink and yellow (or
whatever color hair you would like)
acrylic paint
Small paint brush
Polyurethane (optional) Glue
Two small feathers
Tacky glue
Silver cord (I found it with the
embroidery floss. It is usually used for
stitching on plastic canvas)
Embroidery floss for hanging

2.) Paint on the face. I found this easy to do by


dipping the tip of a knitting needle or pencil in
the paint. Let dry.

Instructions:
1.) Paint the base and body of the doll pin
white. Itll take a couple coats. Let dry.

28

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts


5.) Find two feathers of approximately the same
size. Trim them to fit on the back of the angel
and just stick out about 1/2-inch. Glue the
feathers to the back of the angel at an angle.

3.) Paint on hair. Let dry.

6.) Cut a small piece of the silver cord just big


enough to go around the angels head. Dab a
little glue on the ends of the cord to keep it
from unraveling. Glue to the top of the angels
head. If you want to attach a hanging loop,
make a small loop from embroidery floss and
glue it to the back of the angels head where it
will lie underneath the halo.
4.) Coat with polyurethane. You can skip this
step, but I like the little shine and protection it
gives it.

The Kitchen Angel

Instructions:

By: Ros for RosMadeMe


The kitchen is often ignored in comparison to
other rooms in the home when it comes to
Christmas decorations. Thankfully, this angel
looks right at home on any countertop.

1.) First make your cup of black tea, and place it


in a contained where you can put in your calico
and ticking. The longer you leave it in there, the
more aged your angel will look (aged but not
drudge like). Let the fabric dry.

Materials:

A cup of black tea


A 12 square of Calico
A 6 x 12 piece of cotton ticking and
the same again of gingham
6 x 6 wadding
Greaseproof paper
Sewing machine
Soft stuffing, e.g. Kapok
A ruler, a water glass and pens
Scrap of wool
Crewel needle
Scissors including pinking shears
Iron and ironing board
Twigs
Hairy string

2.) While this is happening, we will make our


template for the body using the greaseproof
paper for our patterns, take a water glass and
draw round it (I used one with a 3 diameter)
below it, draw a rectangle of 3 x 4 this
will be your body.
3.) For the wings, if you are artistic draw them
freehand, if you like me were told that perhaps
art was not the O level for you, then look in
your craft books you know the ones that you
buy in September when you know you will
simply make everything for Christmas there
will be a shed load of wings for you to choose
from!

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts


4.) Iron your fabrics and pin out the pattern
pieces, cut two bodies in calico, two sets of
wings in the ticking and one set in wadding.

5.) Sew the body together using a seam


allowance, leaving a hole at the base. * Around
the top of the head and anywhere that has a
curve, cut little triangle with the points almost
at your running stitch as this will ease the fabric
and give you a smoother finish. Now put the
stuffing into the angel.
6.) Whip stitch the opening closed (this is
overstitching with attitude) when you are happy
with the shape of your body. You are now
going to use the twigs as arms and legs, attach
these to the back of the body by overstitching
onto the fabric where legs and arms would sit.

You are now going to make her lustrous locks by


taking a piece of cardboard and winding the
wool around the cardboard, go to the top and
sew over three pieces of wool then back under
two, continue to do this until you reach the end
of the hair, now be brave and cut along the
bottom of the wool. You now have an angels
wig! Pin this on the back of the head and sew it
in place, trim as necessary.

8.) Draw on your face, two dots for eyes (in the
middle of the face), two dots for the nose, a
broad smile and I used a pink eye shadow to
create the cherubic cheeks.

*However, I had another idea, if you have


smalls in your house* and are worried that they
might injure themselves on the twigs take a
length of hairy string and run it through the top
of the body for the arms and loop it through
your base opening for legs. Make a knot on
each piece of string to represent knees, ankles,
elbows and wrists.
7.) To make the hair, take your wool and with
the crewel needle sew French knots from half
way up the face just below the seam of the
head and the go back on the other side of the
head in between the first row of French knots.

9.) Now think back to how you made dresses for


your dolls when you were little... if like me you
were not Coco Chanel or Vera Wang, try this.
Draw a rectangle 9 across by 6 down on your
greaseproof paper, mark the paper an inch
down and draw a line 2 in and then down to

How to Make an Angel for Christmas: 7 Angel Crafts


the base. Fold the pattern in half and curve the
line around the under arm of the dress. Make a
gentle curve from about 1.5 to create the
neckline.
10.) Pin this out on your gingham fabric, cut out
two pieces and sew together using seam
allowance, cut the hem and sleeves with
pinking shears. Slip the dress over the angels
head... the dress is rather mahoosive, isnt it?
You are now a window dresser, make a fold at
the back of the dress and catch it with a couple
of stitches.

12.) Make a wing sandwich, with ticking,


wadding and ticking, to make it look really
homemade I stitched the wings together using
blanket stitch; you could use your machine to
do this with a running or embroidery stitch.
Turn the angel over and pin the wings onto the
dress and body and sew firmly onto the angel.

13.) Use two short lengths of string as bows on


each sleeve.

11.) Errr... the neckline looks rather grim, so we


will gather it, make a knot at the end of a
double thread and stitch a line of running stitch
across the neckline, pull it tight to make a
neckline gather, sew it off firmly.

14.) Cut out a piece of fabric, 6 x 4, stitch both


sides, then fold over the top and fold over 5/8,
then pink the base of the apron. Run a piece of
string through the casement you have created
at the top of the apron, ruche the apron and tie
it up at the back of the angel.
