Cotton Angel
Materials Needed:
Cotton Off the Stalk
Cotton Leaves
Cotton Buds
Large Bead for Head
Ribbon
Doll Hair
Fake Gold Ring Band
Hot Glue and Gun
Instructions:
Cut the cotton off the stalk
Around the top of it, find some leaves for the wings, and some of the buds for the arms. You have to be creative here, and just play around with it. I think all of mine turned out different with this part.
I used pearl balls for the head. I got these at Michael’s and they were on a stalk. There were about 24 on the stalk for 69 cents. Can you say cheap project?
I added different color ribbon under the head. Gold and silver are very pretty.
I added curly doll hair to the top with hot glue. And I added a gold halo (those cheap gold wedding rings in the wedding section at Michaels).
Finally, I added a hanger on the back the same color of ribbon as under the chin area.
Pasta Angel
Materials Needed:
Elbow Macaroni
Bowtie Pasta
Ziti Noodle (this looks like a giant macaroni with groves on the outside with an arch in it)
Gold Pipe Cleaner
White and Gold Paint
Medium sized clear faceted balls or round wooden balls with a face
Glue gun and glue sticks
Paintbrush
Glitter (optional)
Ribbon ( to hang as a decoration)
Instructions:
Paint the elcow and ziti white
Paint bowties gold or glittery silver
Cut each gold pipe cleaner into four equal parts
Make loop and twist ends together – this should look like a halo.
Stick twisted ends into the hole at the top of the ball – this should look like the halo over a head
Take a length of ribbon and make a loop big enough to fit over the tree branch or the place where it will hang.
Glue it to the bowtie, and then glue the wings on the ziti in the small arch.
Glue two elbows to sides but letting them touch the front of the angel.
Put glue on upper mouth of ziti (the one closest to the wings) and attach the head
LET DRY and Taaahaahhh – You have a Pasta Angel!!!
