Step-by-Step Instructions

Making the Dress

Lightly gather the plaid fabric and net ribbon by sewing with needle and thread to form the angel's dress. Add hot glue drops to secure the layers together. For a cozy crafting space, consider our desks and work surfaces.

Creating the Body

The angel's head is a wooden bead with a 3-4 mm hole drilled through. Clamp the bead in a vise while drilling. Thread a ribbon through the hole for hanging and secure with hot glue. For the hair, use gold trim, lightly curling it as you glue it onto the bead. Decorate with small bells and trumpets on a 10-15 cm white-and-gold cord, tied loosely. Browse our lighting collection to brighten your workspace while crafting.
