This craft make a sweet and easy-to-do angel. These angels are sure to bring a special glow to your Christmas tree.

What you will need:

•Fabric of any color or design
•Two different size circles to trace around
•Thread
•Lace
•Ribbon
•Foil garland or pearl strings
•Hot glue
•Sewing machine or needle and thread
•Cotton balls or stuffing

Instructions for the project: Using two different size circles (a plate and a cereal bowl work well), cut one circle of each size from fabric for each angel. The larger circle is for the body and the smaller circle is for the wings. Sew lace completely around each circle. Place a cotton ball or small amount of stuffing in the middle of the large circle. Using a piece of thread, tie the material securely to make a head. Then take the smaller circle, and tie tight a piece of thread in the middle to form wings. (This will make two fan shapes for the wings.) Securely tie the wings around neck of the body. After you have fluffed your angel to the right shape take a piece of ribbon, and tie it around the neck to hide the thread. Tie into a bow. You can also glue a halo, using pearls or garland, onto the head. To hang your ornament sew a small loop of thread to the back of the angel.
