I made her 20+ years ago from a pattern in an old Crafts magazine. She is made out of paper twist ribbon, wood bead and dried florals. Although she no longer graces the Christmas Tree top, I still have her.
This is the current angel topper that I made in 1998. The porcelain head, hands and organza wings were in a kit along with instructions on how to make her. She was pretty easy to make with additional fabric, ribbon and ribbon roses - and a pretty addition to the tree ! The kids much preferred this more realistic looking angel over the rustic paper twist angel.
Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays !
I remember the paper ribbons of twenty years ago. I don't think I kept anything of mine though. Your angel still looks good. I like the new one too, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful angel Heather! I'm sure your tree is gorgeous.
