Fabric - a gold/silver lame' or sparkly material
Lace - white or ivory
Wired edge ribbon
Circle template
Styrofoam ball (smaller sizes) or batting
Ribbons
Pearl strands
Gold/silver bands or miniature wired garland
Decorative scissors
Hot glue or fabric glue

Directions:

~First determine what size angel you would like to make
~With your fabric & lace together, use decorative edged scissors to cut out a round circle about 7.5 inches in diameter for a small angel, for larger size add an extra inch or two (there is no right or wrong size, this project is very flexible)
~Place your circle of material over your circle of lace and directly in the center use either some batting or a styrofoam ball for the angels head, keeping in mind, the size of the angel you are making determines the head size
~Pull the material and lace taut around the head and secure with a piece of ribbon or floral wire, trim
~For the wings - use a wired ribbon that is at least a 2 inches wide, either make a bow, trim the tails and fluff or fold the ribbon accordion style making sure to fold in a fashion that will provide each wing tip a wired edge
~Tie a ribbon at the center of the wings long enough so you can use it to hang the ornament and glue the wings to the base of the head
~For the halo - glue a gold/silver band or miniature wired garland formed in a circle to the top of the head
~Finishing touches - around the neck glue/embellish with small silk flowers & pearl strands, or whatever you like, glue or tie ribbons & bows

Have fun with this project and don't get caught up with exact sizing, whatever you do is going to look great! This is a fun project for your kids to help with (except the hot glue) and they can give one to their special friend(s) or take to school for their teacher(s).
