How to Make an Angel Garland

Make an angel garland to add holiday cheer to your fireplace mantle or Christmas tree. These angels look like they require a large amount of time to make, but you can complete them in less than an hour.

Things You'll Need

• Tulle
• Scissors
• Large cotton balls
• White thread
• Gold thread
• 5 feet of white ribbon
• Gold and silver beads
• Gold felt
• Glitter glue
• Craft glue

Instructions

1. Cut six 11-inch squares from a piece of tulle or another gauzy, white fabric.

2. Lay a square of tulle on your work surface. Place a cotton ball in the center of the square. Gather the material around the cotton ball and tie it off with a piece of white thread to make the head.

3. Measure and cut a piece of 12-inch gold thread. Tie the thread around the center of the angel's body for the belt. Leave openings in the material which will form the arms.

4. Snip a small piece of gold thread and tie it into a loop. Glue the loop to the top of the angels head for a halo.

5. Create the remaining angels in the same manner.

6. Slide one angel onto the long white ribbon through the arm openings. Slide several beads on the ribbon. Slide the next angel on the ribbon, followed by several more beads. Repeat this process until all the angels are on the Christmas garland.

7. Draw and cut six pairs of wings out of gold felt. Spread a thin layer of glitter glue over each pair of wings to make them shimmer. Glue a set of wings onto the back of each angel. Hang the garland once the glue has dried.
