Grapevine Angels

They are really cute, don't you think? I have a friend who really loves angels, I might make some. (yeah right...lol). There are 3 different ones, but I bet you can come up with other cool ideas for them.




Materials:

* (2) 3006-401, 6 " tulle lavender
* 2827-45, grapevine angel
* (2) 73-51, purple ribbon roses
* (1) 1148-27, purple jingle bells
* (1) 2405-61, Purple Star Garland
* (1) 2405-61 (or (1) 2405-65), Silver Star Garland
* Glue gun

Directions:

1. Wrap tulle completely around angel. This will take about 1-1/2 spools. Use glue gun to secure tulle behind angel.
2. Take star garland & wrap around hearts on angel.
3. Wrap purple & silver star garland around angel head to make halo.
4. Take tulle & use glue gun to secure behind wings & hearts at the bottom of the angel.
5. Use 5 ribbon roses to hold tulle up at the bottom of the angel.
6. Take a piece of tulle about 10 inches & twirl tightly.
7. Take star garland & wrap around tulle.
8. Make a heart from the tulle & star wrap.
9. Secure the heart to the angel w/ribbon roses.
10. Take more tulle & bunch it up. Glue it to the bottom of the heart to make it fuller.
11. Take about 10 pcs of silver star garland varying in length & attach to bottom of heart.
12. Attach 3 bells to bottom of star garland.
13. Take 5 ribbon roses & some star garland, make a bunch & attach to center of wings.
14. Take 2 bells & attach to star garland. Attach to edge of wings.
15. Take remaining 3 bells & attach to hearts at bottom of angel

* Glue gun, Spanish Moss

Directions:

1. Starting with tulle cut a piece approx. 4-5yds. Start at the top of Angel's head & wrap through the body back & forth until it is filled in. When you run out of tulle, tie another 4-5yds piece to the end & continue on. Take end piece at top through top edge & tie it pulling it closer.
2. Glue two poinsettia ribbon flowers in middle. Glue small ribbon flowers at center of hearts. Wrap the wings loosely with the silver ribbon. Glue the starting point and wrap them. When you finish, glue end in back.
