Sweet Angel Ornament

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.
