It’s Christmas in July – How to Make an easy Angel Ornament

It’s Christmas in July, and let’s make an easy angel ornament using lace, bead and a Bowdabra bow! You won’t believe how easy it is to make!

Supplies:

• Lace trim (6″ wide) 
• Circular item (4″ lid)
• Pencil, Scissors
• Fabri-Tac glue
• Bead (pearl-24mm)
• Bowdabra Bow Wire
• Mini-Bowdabra and Wand
• Wired Ribbon (1.5″ wide)

How To:

Glue two lace circles together and let them dry.

Next, fold one circle in half and glue around a portion of the center to the edge and close together evenly.

Then take a six-inch strip of bow wire, folding in half, and inserting the ends into the top of the bead, down and out of the bead.

Lay one lace circle open and place the edge of the folded lace circle in the middle. Run a bead of glue from the top center down, following the length of the bow wire, making sure the bottom of the bead (head) is placed at the top edge of the lace and the string is over the glue. 

Then fold the lace over to close, pressing down to secure the lace and glue.

To Make the Wings:

Cut an 18″ piece of Bowdabra bow wire, and fold it in half. Lay the folded bow wire in the Mini Bowdabra, tucking the loop and ends under.

 

Cut an 8″ piece of wired ribbon. Dovetail the ends by folding the ends together and cutting at an angle from the fold up to the corner tip.

Fold the ribbon to make a matching loop on the opposite side, down into the Mini Bowdabra.
