Ok....I am going to share a sneak peek at this years 2007 St.Francis Angel that the Ladies Ministry will sell at our Craft/Bake Sale this coming December. We make a different one each year.
I hope you are able to understand these directions...if you refer to the picture of the angel in previous post...i think these directions will make sense ..if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask...i am a visual crafter...writing directions is tuff for me.
2007 ST.FRANCIS ANGEL
These directions are for making an Angel approximately 6 inches long…you can modify these directions to make any size you want. We chose to make them an off white and gold you can chose your colors
FOR EACH ANGEL YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING :
FOAMIE WINGS
(FOAMIES COME IN SHEETS AND YOU NEED TO CUT OUT YOUR WING OF CHOICE) WE USED WHITE FOAMIE WHICH WE THEN SPRAY PAINTED ( 4 COATS TO GET THE RIGHT LOOK ) GOLD
1 WOODEN BALL WITH HOLE THRU CENTER – ¾ INCH SIZE
8 STRANDS EACH 12 INCH LONG OF STRING PEARLS
1 NOVELTY RING FOR HALO
EMBROIDERY THREAD -LONG ENOUGH TO TIE STRING PEARLS IN MIDDLE AND GO THRU HOLE IN HEAD WITH APPROXMATELY 3 INCH STICKING OUT OF TOP OF HEAD (this is the hanger)
1/8 INCH WIRE EDGED RIBBON OF CHOICE – ONE LENGTH OF 14 INCH ANOTHER OF 12 INCH TO MAKE DOUBLE LOOPED BOW
SOMETHING AS AN EMBELLISHMENT IN FRONT OF THE BOW
PAINT FOR HEAD (WE USED AN OFF WHITE AND ADDED A GLITTER LAYER)
HOT GLUE
TACKY GLUE
ASSEMBLY:
PAINT THE ¾ INCH BALL (HEAD) COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE – TWO COATS SET ASIDE TO DRY
TAKE THE 8 STRANDS OF 12 INCH STRING PEARLS AND FIND THE MIDDLE AND TIE THE EMBROIDERY THREAD SO YOU HAVE 6 ON EACH SIDE - TIE A DOUBLE KNOT
TAKE THE TWO ENDS FROM THIS PIECE OF EMBROIDERY THREAD AND SLIP IT THRU THE BOTTOM OF THE PAINTED HEAD AT THIS POINT YOU WANT TO ADD HOT GLUE BETWEEN HEAD AND STRING BEADS SO IT IS STABLE AT THE TOP OF THE HEAD USING HOT GLUE “FILL” THE HOLE AT THE TOP OF THE HEAD BE SURE TO KEEP THE REMINDER OF THE THREAD SO YOU CAN USE IT AS THE HANGER…TIE ENDS TOGETHER .
TAKE THE WINGS AND USING HOT GLUE GLUE THEM TO THE BACK OF THE BEADS JUST BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE HEAD.
TAKE THE 14 INCH PIECE OF 1/8 INCH RIBBON AND FORM LOOPS FOR THE DOUBLE LOOPED BOW …TAKE THE 12 INCH PIECE AND TIE THE LOOPS IN THE MIDDLE …THIS FORMS DOUBLE LOOPED RIBBONS TAILS.
