How to make a heavenly angel wall hanging
Instructions:
First, brush some truffle chalk paint over the framing of the sign. Let it dry and then brush some caramel color acrylic paint over the top.
Next, cut the music print scrapbook paper to fit your frame. (you can tea stain your scrapbook paper if desired) Then, spread some ModPodge all around the front of your sign and place the scrapbook paper on top. Smooth out any wrinkles with your fingers.
Sand all around the edges. Go around with the distressing ink and even a little on the front.
Now, take the hymn sheet and tear all around to deckle the edges. Then use the distressing ink to further enhance the page. Attach with some ModPodge on an angle on the frame. Then put another coat of ModPodge on the entire front of the sign.
Prepare the angel ornament by sanding all around and then use the distressing ink on the edges. Paint some floral wire with the gold metallic paint adding some randomly on the angel itself as well. Attach the halo to the angel and glue her to the sign.
Make the bow
Cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire. Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side. This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.
Next, place some red plaid ribbon in and make loops back and forth. Then, add some plain muslin fabric and make loops with that. Scrunch down with the bow wand and pull the wires through the loop and remove from the Bowdabra. Turn to the back and tie a knot.
To finish, attach the bow to the frame. Glue some greenery, berries and a bell to the bow and fluff out. You have the most adorable angel wall hanging to display all season long!
