As I begin to pack away our favorite Christmas ornaments,
I thought I'd share a few simple ones that I made at Kanuga last year.
When I saw the pink(!) silk holly leaves, I couldn't resist using them as angel wings.
These ornaments are simply made with a square of felt turned on the diagonal and hot glued to a wooden clothespin. The top point was turned down and glued to form the bodice of the angel's gown. I twisted a simple halo from a sparkly pipe cleaner and glued on the whimsical wings. Easy.
Here's another idea using the same technique:
Madonna and Child
Her arms are made from a pipecleaner (attached around her neck)
and the little babe is made from felt-wrapped pompoms.
And this one :
The Good Shepherd
Again, pipe cleaner arms, pompom lamb, and a sparkly shepherd's staff...
Wouldn't these be nice Sunday School teacher gifts? |
