ANGEL from Handkerchief

Hello my Friends!!!!!!!

It’s an evening and usually I write a little bit earlier – but now I want to show you what I made this evening especially for You!!!  A Christmas Challenge with Angels!

Sorry if it looks a little bit strange…this is my Christmas Challenge (with many others) and when trying to take these photos I felt that photografing was the biggest challenge in this project…

In the afternoon I was looking my Christmas notebook and found an old piece of newspaper… I think sent by my sister… and there was the ‘forgotten angel’. I never made the angel even I liked it very much! Now I wanted to make it so that I can show you this lovely decoration!

The idea is to use treasures like these…I didn’t count on my talent so I usead for this first angel some ‘fake’ lace I had.

For the head you can use those white balls which are suitable for needle felting. Put the ball in the middle of the lace and tight it with thread ‘in the neck’. I didn’t have those ‘white balls’  so I made the head  from cotton.  That’s not so good because you can’t pass even the wire. If you use the ‘white ball’ you can needle felt the face and to fix the hair.

Make with thicker wire a circle and around that  with thin wire you can put pearls.

Then add 4 ribbons (each about 30 cm) to the circle (you can use 2 ribbons each 60 cm – then you don’t need a knot at the up end but you just catch them with wire, which is going to be also a small circle for hanging.

I think this idea is lovely… so I shall make an other one… better one…or perhaps many angels,  with some different material.

Please don’t mind about these bad photos – I just couldn’t wait till tomorrow to show you this Angel and I hope you liked it enough to make yours! If you would  like more photos about the details to see how it’s easy to make, please tell me!

I read from your blogs and hear from the news, how cold it is and so much snow every where in Europe – and it’s just the beginning of  the December! I really hope you don’t have too much difficulties because of the weather!

Surely you have heard also that here we have the other extreme… too hot…in some parts of Greece it’s +30 and people are still on the beaches like in summer time! There is flowers growing like in the spring!

Sounds amazing and wonderful – and it is (also economical not to need heating) but I’m affraid this can’t be very good for the nature. This November was the warmest in 80 years! I hope we all could have again normal weather for every season!

Now I leave you with your Angels and go to see what you have been up today! Sleep well, if you have evening, or have a lovely day, if you are starting a new creative day!!!
