Christmas Angel pictures & a video slide show

I will keep this post short, over the last few days I have labored over a Christmas angel that was gifted to me 12 years ago by my step-daughter Amanda.  This  beautiful angel has seen more than her fair share of wear-and-tare, she was due for a make over.

Her basic construction is actually a small tomato cage turned upside down.  She is made from corn-husk. Originally the base with the wreath had twinkle lights.  I had already removed the old ribbon,lace,and flowers from the angel in the first pictures.

I wanted to document the process so if any of you are taking on a similar challenge you can see a bit of what I did.

 

I used both Aleen’s Fabric Fusion adhesive and hot glue.  The fabric fusion allows the project to be permanent.  The hot glue just keeps everything in place while it dries.  I chose to use yellow headed push pins for this project so I wouldn’t loose them when it was time to take them out.  It also made it easier to spot them on the rare occasion I dropped one onto the floor.

 

 

Here is the video slide show on YouTube  >>click<<

 

 

  If you do not like Christian music, please mute your speakers before playing the clip.  I am hoping to do some video tutorials soon.  As many of you, I am working on my Christmas preparations.  I am not planning to get our tree until next weekend, I would like to get some other project finished before then.

 

  I also want to do a new room tour, now that I have the main table taken down and the room is much neater than before. (well..mostly) .  Have a great Sunday night!

 

  Stamp happy, be a blessing!

 

Hugs,
