Billie Heisler of Heislers Creative Stitch

Make your own angel for the top of your tree. You can also display her by sliding the cone over a short candle taper for a table decoration or shorten her skirt to display her sitting on the cone. She's about 12" tall and is put together over an empty thread cone. The cone is covered with fabric so she looks pretty top and bottom. An old hankie is used for her apron. Her face is painted, the hair is sheep wool, and she is tea-stained. Rusty wire is used to make the halo, wings, and banner. Included are directions on how to rust metal and how to tea-stain.
