Angels

I have decided to devote the month of December to angel craft projects. I'm trying for one a day, but since I'm doing this to stay centered during the holiday season I'm not putting a lot pressure on myself.

However I realize that I might need help finding enough projects to last the month. I am also trying to work with what I have on hand and not buy a lot of supplies.

I already have the dish towel angel on my list. I also have a soda bottle I hope to be able to work with. And I have a couple of jewelry ideas.

So I need angel craft ideas....pleeeeeeeeese.

I'm posting photos on my website to help keep me accountable. You can check there to see what I have already done.

I'm already starting to run out of ideas. Can you please help?

Those are cute! I like the chain of angels at the window.

Thank you. Our furnace vents are in the ceiling, so when the heat comes on the angels dance. When we open the blinds the light shines through them. I felt kind of guilty for starting out with such an easy one though.

I'm slowing adding new ones. I've been doing housework all day. Hope to be able to sit down and relax soon and work on a little angel pin.

I'm still working on angels. Posted 3 new ones this morning.

Getting ready to start a couple of more difficult projects, but could still use more quick and easy ideas for angel projects if anyone has any.

I have no idea. The holidays are usually a difficult time for me and this is helping me stay focused on the spiritual meaning of the season.

I won't sell them -- but a few might fly away to be with my nieces and nephews. Others might stay around the house. Hubby doesn't mind -- he says we can never have too many angels.

Genie, that is a nice idea to share your beautiful angels with family members you love.

I've seen angels made from shoulder pads, lace and a small wooden ball for the head.

geniebird,

I have a whole photo album that I made strictly for Angel crafts...if you email me, I can scan some and forward them onto you! A lot are very simple and cost efficient. Just let me know and I will look through if you are still interested!
Thanks
