Ribbon Angel Tutorial

Another Christmas angel from our tree!

This ornament was made a few years ago at a MOPS morning. MOPS is Mother’s of Pre-Schoolers, a group for mums to meet and make friends while their children are offered a program of fun. This was one of the crafts that we made one morning.

It uses a couple of pieces of wide wired ribbon – one folded in half for the body and another folded for the wings, a large wooden bead and some “hair”. Another easy but pretty craft.

What You Need

• Large Wooden Bead
• Bead Ball String
• Wide Wired Ribbon (white& gold)
• Wide Chiffon Ribbon (gold)
• Doll hair
• Flat gems

Quick How To

• Hanger and Head: Use a 25cm piece of ribbon or beaded string for the hanger. Fold in half and thread through the bead top so the ends stick out the bottom.
• The Body: Fold a piece of wire edge ribbon about 15cm long and 5cm wide in half for the body.
• Squeeze the ends together and push them into the bead hole, keeping the ends of the hanger still hanging. Add some glue to hold them there.
• The Wings: Take another piece of ribbon – about 15cm long and 5cm wide but not wired. I used chiffon ribbon.
• Fold the ends to the middle and stitch a couple of stitches to keep them in place.
• Glue this to the back of the body and add a flat bead or gem to cover the stitching.
• Glue the hair on and you’re finished.
