A picture of angels that will sit on top of a tree and or mantel. I made six of these assembly line style. I used the smaller head and hands that are available readily at craft and sewing stores.
I chose to use thread cones from serger thread as the base as they are sturdy. Small plastic soda pop bottles will work as well, but are not as sturdy unless using for display on mantel as you can weight the bottle with rice or sand.
Wings are made of gold ribbon, the halo is beaded and the back has long ribbons hanging down.
The underskirt is cotton and has a deep six inch hem with a casing at the top to pull tightly around the base of the doll head.
Arms are done with sections of lace gathered at both ends and added to the shoulders. Arms are on white fluffy pipe cleaners and gathered at wrist with ribbons.
Skirt is gathered lace and a header of lace with a casing is added at the top so that it can be ruffled at the bodice.
Small flowers and a long streamer of fine ribbon hang down the front. These are adorable fnished.
