Christmas Wild Filigree Angel


On the 2nd Crafty Day of Christmas we'll make a
wild angel from a doily and one of these flower filigree borders



Christmas Angel Cards

 Use strong scissors or tin snips to cut off the wings and 2 of the petals from the flower like this.

Take a 11cm doily and fold it in half ...

and then fold it into thirds like this.

 Draw a line along the edges with Glossy Accents and pour some Glass Glitter over it. You can find several colours of Glass Glitter in the glitter and microbeads section.

Now glue the wings, the flower petals ("hands") and a circle pendant on the folded doily like this.


 Make some wild hair by winding some wool strands around 3 fingers 4 times (or more, depending on the wool). Tie the middle with some thread and cut open the sides. 


 Glue it on the head, draw on a face with permanent marker - if you want - and your wild angel is done.

 You can use her on a card, or as a tree decoration (tie a ribbon through the loop on the circle pendant).

Here I have made a card using a piece of kraft card, a bit of lace and some gold baker's twine
