I found a picture of a cute little angel ornament online
and thought to myself... "I can make one like that."
So I did.
Here is how I made mine:
Draw up a pattern.
Assemble supplies:
scissors, needle, felt, seed beads, thread, button and metallic cord
Cut out all the pieces:
1 apron, body front and back, wing front and back
Sew beads on the apron.
Stitch the apron to the body-front using a beaded blanket stitch.
Use a plain blanket stitch to attach the body front and back.
(Top and sides only. Leave the bottom til later.)
Stitch wing-front to wing-back using a beaded blanket stitch.
Tack the wings to the back of the angel.
Use a decorative beading stitch to create "lace" along the bottom edge.
Attach a pretty button for a halo with the cord, and tie your hanging loop.
Ta Da!
I love the way she turned out!
I'm making enough to share with the girls in my book club.

So, I'll see you in a couple of days.
Many wishes for a HAPPY THANKSGIVING to my American blogging friends!
