This year, we wanted to give you two craft ideas for the Holiday season.
Our first ornament "The Angel Bell Ornament" you can enjoy making with the entire family! These ornaments are not only very cute but extremely easy to make. So, before the holidays are here, why not take some time with your family and make an ornament that can be enjoyed year after year.
The second ornament "Potpourri Holiday Door Hanger" is an elegant accent for your home that will also make a great gift for someone special. This ornament can be hung on a door knob, Christmas tree etc...
Let Us Get Started:
Materials Needed:
1. Angel heads.... (1" diameter...we found a pack of 5 heads)
2. Gold bells.....(2" diameter bell with ring on top)
3. Angel wings gold
4. Tinsel sticks
5. Silver wired ribbon
6. Bonding glue
Let Us Create:
1. Just place the head on the top portion of the bell that has a small ring....just force the head in tight enough so it doesn't move.
2. Tie the silver wire ribbon around the neck of the doll and leave enough length at the end for a loop.
2. Glue wings on back of bell with the bonding glue. Let set for approximately 1 hour.
3. Make circle to fit the head of the angel with the tinsel stick...make sure it fits tight.
You are done!
